Introducing 8543 Birchwood Hills Road on the shores of Gull Lake in picturesque Nisswa, Minnesota. Nestled on 100 feet of west-facing frontage, this timeless retreat offers privacy, charm, and panoramic sunset views. The home features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and, for the water adventurer or car enthusiast, five garage stalls. Step inside and you will find a vaulted great room with a stone gas fireplace and large arched window, lakeside dining area, full kitchen, three-season porch, and a private primary suite with full bathroom. The walkout lower level includes a family room with wood burning fireplace, wine bar, game area, and two additional bedrooms, perfect for hosting family and friends. Outside, the expansive deck and paver and granite patio provide plenty of room for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the serene lake setting. The privacy of this property is positioned perfectly to capture breathtaking sunsets, hear a loon’s call, and listen to the rustle of silver maples. The gradual slope leads to a level, private shoreline where year-round water adventures begin. Spend summer days swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, water skiing, or surfing. When winter arrives, enjoy ice fishing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling right from your backyard. Located within minutes of top-tier dining, golf, spa services, four-season resort activities, a grocery store, and "pretty good shopping" in Downtown Nisswa. Available to the public for the first time in 20 years, this Gull Lake retreat, in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area, is truly a rare find.
