Eagle Lake Getaway! Not many of these "Survivors" out there any more !! This 18x24 primitive Cottage from the 40's or 50's has remained in the same family since construction, and in my opinion, still has some life in it yet. Situated on a gorgeous west facing lakeshore building tract, on Eagle Lake, just minutes from downtown Cross Lake, and a "short poke" from Fifty Lakes, so plenty of shopping, dining and 4 different Golf Courses within 10 minutes. (Golden Eagle Golf Club is directly across the lake.) The Fifty Lakes Bar and Bottle shop is 2 miles away. This tract features a gentle "walk out" elevation down to the waterfront with decent sandy/rocky bottom, that just needs use. An exceptionally well forested tract, which includes White Pines, Highland Spruce and Balsam Fir for evergreens and Oaks, Maples, Ash and White Birch for deciduous trees. The 6x16 Boat House still appears to be in decent shape and will hold a lot of Boating, fishing, or lawn equipment. Start your own Legacy at the Lake with fish stories around the Old Potbelly Stove. Truly a wonderful snapshot of a much simpler time in our Minnesotan Up North at the Lake History. Quiet, no pass through location, yet so convenient to many desirable amenities.
