Rare Long Lake Retreat with Sandy Beach & 4.46 Acres
There are places that feel like an escape the moment you arrive. This is one of them. Set on 4.46 peaceful acres along the 140 feet of shoreline, clear, deep waters that reach depths of 117' on Long Lake, this year-round property offers a combination that has become increasingly difficult to find: privacy, generous acreage, level frontage, and a beautiful sandy shoreline, all within a short drive of town. Long Lake is known for its remarkable clarity, averaging approximately 12 feet, creating the kind of water that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Here, summer is measured in barefoot mornings on the sand, clear water beneath the boat, and evenings so peaceful it is easy to forget town is only a short drive away. This is not a shallow lake enjoyed for only a few weeks each year. Long Lake is deep, clear, and known for abundant recreation, excellent bass fishing, and stocked walleye. A public boat access is located just moments up the road, making it easy to launch and explore the lake throughout the season. When summer gives way to fall and winter, the property becomes every bit as inviting. Spend crisp autumn evenings beside the fire, explore the surrounding northwoods by snowmobile, or head onto the lake for a quiet afternoon of ice fishing. Afterward, return home to the warmth of one of two fireplaces. This is a place designed to be enjoyed through every season. The main residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing the comfort and flexibility needed for full-time living or a four-season lake retreat. The spaces feel equally suited for peaceful weekends, extended stays, and gatherings with guests. Above the spacious garage, a bunkhouse area is currently used as additional guest quarters. It could continue serving as sleeping space or be reimagined as a game room, private office, hobby space, studio, or retreat of its own. The large garage offers far more than parking. With a dedicated workshop and generous storage, there is room for boats, snowmobiles, tools, outdoor equipment, and everything that comes with life in northern Minnesota. A new septic system will be installed, adding confidence and value for the next owner. What makes this property especially rare is not one single feature, but the way everything comes together. The sandy beach. The level shoreline. The deep, clear lake. The acreage. The privacy. The additional guest space. The workshop and storage. The convenient access to town. Each of those qualities is desirable on its own. Finding all of them in one property is something entirely different. This is a home, a retreat, and an opportunity to create a life shaped by clear water, quiet mornings, changing seasons, and the kind of peace that never seems to go out of style.
