Property Description

Don't miss an incredible opportunity to own this private lakefront oasis for year-round recreation just six miles from Park Rapids in the heart of Minnesota. Situated in a mature, tree-filled paradise along the peaceful shores of Long Lake, this property offers stunning water and sunset views. Long Lake is a deep, spring-fed lake suitable for year-round water sports and fishing. The home is located on 1.87 acres with about 156 feet of sandy shoreline that is great for swimming. Inside the home, you will find a warm, craftsman-style interior featuring 4-bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area, and an attached 2-stall garage. A spacious 16' x 20' storage building with finished guest quarters provides a fifth queen sleeping area for guests. Many of the home's features have been updated since 2020 including siding/trim, gutters, lighting, paint, appliances, countertop, and landscaping. When you are outdoors (but not on the lake), enjoy identifying flowers in the North American Prairies wildflower field, growing veggies in the 20’ x 20’ garden enclosure, and hosting events on the three-tier cedar deck and flagstone patio with fire pit. Access to the property via Downey Drive has been private since 1947 and still preserves privacy and a tranquil, peaceful setting relished by the 10 residents who enjoy the best of lakeside living today. Don’t miss this rare find!
