Once in a lifetime and possibly the most unique opportunity on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes to be offered in a long time. Own your very own piece of paradise, Excelsior Island sits prominently yet obscurely to the west side of Rush Lake, offering 360° views of the water. Sunrises… Sunsets… You can be in the middle of the action, but yet secluded. Included is a 120 ft.² finished and insulated building with an additional 60 ft.² loft, built in 2021, finished in reclaimed mortise & tenon timbers, barn wood, huge windows, wired for electric, vented propane heater. This is a very cool, thoughtfully designed structure with views oriented to the south, the loft facing the East for Sunrises. Sit on the patio or out on the maintenance free dock and enjoy your morning coffee. Wet your line for Crappie, Sunnies, Bass, Walleye, Northern, right off the dock. Stone firepit to grill your catch, roast some marshmallows under the stars and create lasting memories. The whole world turns back in time out here on Excelsior Island. The lake beckons you to join…
This could be a very original and unique addition to your short term rental portfolio, adding it additionally to your mainland rental, or get creative. There could be a strong rental revenue opportunity. Everybody dreams of owning an island or at least staying on one for a few days, and now, here is your chance. Nice Sandy swimming all around the island, easy to beach your boats, tie up to the North or South dock, plenty of room for friends to join. No electricity, but might be possible, using solar or battery now. There is a possible building envelope with a variance. Please talk to listing agent and refer to the survey in documents.
Do not go out onto the island without an appointment and being with your realtor. Video cameras in place.
