816 E Scharf Ave, Vergas, MN | Long Lake Offered at $484,900 Rare Long Lake opportunity: enjoy the lake now, build your dream home later—and keep the cabin at the water’s edge. Located just feet from Long Lake, this completely rebuilt seasonal cabin sits within its grandfathered footprint, offering a waterfront setting that would be nearly impossible to recreate today. The approximately 449-square-foot cabin was rebuilt from the ground up and features warm pine finishes, vaulted ceilings, a sleeping loft, full kitchen and bathroom, mini-split heating/cooling, and expansive doors and windows that bring the lake into nearly every part of the space. But here, the living space doesn’t end at the cabin door. Step outside onto an incredible approximately 554-square-foot deck—larger than the cabin itself—with Long Lake just steps away. There’s room for outdoor dining, lounging around the fire, morning coffee overlooking the water, and evenings with family and friends. The property also includes an outdoor shower, charming 40-square-foot lakeside bar/entertaining space, storage building, driveway, city water and sewer, and approximately 60 feet of Long Lake frontage. What truly sets this property apart is what comes next. The upper portion of the property provides a future homesite, with written approval allowing construction of a permanent residence while retaining the existing grandfathered seasonal waterfront cabin. Build your future Long Lake home above while keeping this newly rebuilt retreat at the shoreline for guests, family, entertaining—or simply as your favorite place to spend a summer afternoon. The grandfathered location is genuinely rare. Even the property's recent appraisal specifically recognized the cabin's proximity to the water as a superior feature that would no longer be permitted with new construction, noting how unusual it is to find a structure this close to the lake. Use it exactly as it is today. Build in the future. Or create a one-of-a-kind Long Lake property with a primary home above and your own waterfront retreat below. This isn't about how many square feet are inside the cabin. It's about how many feet there are between you and the lake.
