Introducing the next release in the South Beach Collection at Cragun's Resort — a to-be-built 4-bedroom, 4-bath Hillside cabin breaking ground this Fall on the resort's South shoreline on Gull Lake. The beachside cabins are currently underway on the main resort property, with select units complete and others delivering into next year. Now the Hillside cabins open — extending South Beach's lakeside elegance across two beautifully finished levels, pairing high-end finishes with warm Northwoods character and immediate access to sand, water, and premier resort amenities. Built by W. Gohman Construction in collaboration with TWM Architecture, The Hearth Room, and Evolution Resort Real Estate, the South Beach Cabins blend modern craftsmanship with the nearly 100-year South Beach legacy. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath cabin is designed for unforgettable lake life and effortless hosting — with an open kitchen, dining and living area on the main level flowing to a covered deck, a main-level master suite, and two additional bedrooms and a loft on the upper level. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framed by exposed timber open to panoramic views of Gull Lake, and a striking double-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace bridges the living room and patio. Two floors of gathering and retreat space invite connection across the home, while the layout adapts naturally to multi-generational stays and hosting with privacy built into every level. High-end finishes carry from front door to lakeside steps. Ownership is whole ownership, fee title — not a timeshare, not fractional. Owners receive a turnkey experience through Cragun's Resort's professional rental management program, with Rental Income Potential through a 50/50 split. Optional Golf Memberships and Boat Club access extend the season on both lake and links. Owners and their guests enjoy resort amenities along with discounts on lodging, merchandise, marina rentals, and more, plus a lifetime Resort Club Membership when enrolled in the rental program. Owner usage: up to 42 days May through October, and up to 100 days November through April. As a Cragun's Resort home owner you are not purchasing an investment, but rather a vacation home that has a rental program available for you to take advantage of to decrease your total cost of ownership. We are prevented by law from making projections for yearly income from the rental home. We advise you consult with your financial advisor or tax professional. Showings: Listing agent must be present for all showings. No showings permitted while guests are in residence.

Own a true piece of Brainerd history on one of the busiest, most visible corners in the entire Lakes Area. This landmark building started as the office of the original Brainerd Sawmill, was relocated in 1908 to serve the bustling Northern Pacific railroad depot, and went on to become Van's Cafe and finally the beloved Sawmill Inn. More than a century later, it is still the corner everyone knows, sitting proudly at Washington Street and South 6th Street directly across from the iconic white water tower. Location is the headline. The property fronts Highway 210 / Washington Street, where roughly 26,000 vehicles pass through the corridor every single day. Paired with both on-street parking and a generous off-street lot that could be sold or used for a duplex purpose. Add in the major MnDOT Washington Street corridor reconstruction bringing new streetscape, sidewalks, and trail connections, and this corner is positioned for its next great chapter. The restaurant is turnkey and ready to reopen, conveying with an extensive list of commercial equipment and fixtures already in place. Maybe a modern coffee shop and roastery where the morning Highway 210 commute becomes your built-in customer base. A buzzing all-day breakfast and brunch concept that honors the building's diner roots. A brewpub, taproom, bakery, deli, market, or destination eatery. The character of this space, the history baked into the walls, and the traffic out front give a new owner a foundation that is almost impossible to recreate. Even better, the building works for you with upper-level income includes 8 rental units, plus 1 additional commercial rental fronting Washington Street, creating steady cash flow while you build out and launch your concept below. Historic character, unbeatable visibility, turnkey restaurant infrastructure, and built-in rental income, all on Brainerd's signature corner.
