A Rare Boundary Waters-Inspired Lakefront Retreat...

Only 6 of 36 structures in this development have been permitted for livable buildouts. This Seller captured the pre-eminent location in this development---effectively a corner lot having surprising privacy with a matching view and then invested an estimated $100,000 of upgrades that include in-floor heat, foam insulation, and other amenities. The living space is adequately sized, filled with light and has a flexible layout. It remains unfinished-- framed and roughed in with plumbing and electrical. The property is served by a private septic system; the well is shared. The adjoining structures indicate a gamut of uses running from straight-forward hobbyist storage to workshop space. This is a bargain Hobby Lodge for someone who wants the space, the security, and the convenience the property provides.

More than one can imagine: Is it storage? Is it a hobbyist’s or professional’s workshop? Is it a vacation get-away? In fact it’s all of these or anything; a 5000 sq ft. Fam Cave with roughly 2000 ft of interior double-height space laid out with 3 beds/2 baths plus flex spaces, accommodating a myriad of uses. There are 36 structures within this HOA that fronts Hiway 371 close-by the Gull Lake chain and Brainerd International Raceway. Six were permitted to be become ‘Barndominiums’ with plumbing and living spaces. This owner envisioned a year-round vacay retreat with room for all the seasonal toys---from snowmobiles, ATV’s, boats, cars, a motorhome and all the attendant gear—with the ability to enter through the front door and then access peaceful lakeside views and a relaxing natural environment out the back door. Health issues interrupted this dream but not before many upgrades occurred towards making this the paramount living/storage space in Minnesota’s Central Lakes, all-season wonderland.
