This one-of-a-kind log home directly across the street from Howard Lake gives you the feel of being in the Northwoods while only being a one-hour drive from the Twin Cities. The attention to detail both inside and out is hard to miss. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living space offer sweeping views of the lake, while the custom kitchen features a handmade live-edge center island. Head up the log-cut stairs to the loft, which serves as a perfect bunk room, or step out onto the deck with a cup of coffee and a good book to take in the water views. Just across the road, walk out onto your dock and get ready for a day on the water filled with fishing and boating.
Located right in the heart of Howard Lake, you're just minutes from Lions Park swimming beach, public boat launches, Central Park's splash pad and pickleball courts, and popular local dining spots like Trouble's Restaurant & Bar. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the quick drive to the Wright County Fairgrounds, nearby LuceLine Orchard, and local golf courses, all while enjoying effortless commuting along US-12. Whether you are looking for a year-round home or a weekend retreat, this is the one! Schedule your tour today!
