A Rare Boundary Waters-Inspired Lakefront Retreat... Rarely does a property come along that combines the trifecta of nearly 5 acres of heavily wooded land, 200 feet of prime Upper South Long Lake shoreline with sunset views, and a custom architect-designed contemporary home with nearly 4,000 finished square feet with a Scandinavian vibe. This extraordinary property offers the three things most often sought after... exceptional acreage, inspired architecture and 12 months of sunsets! A long, paved driveway winds through a magnificent forest of mature trees, including towering old-growth Norway pines, creating an immediate sense of privacy and the feeling of discovering your own favorite campsite in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Yet, this remarkable setting is less than two hours from the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The custom-built contemporary home was designed by a renowned local architect and built by Nornberg Construction. It is thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding forest and lake, with expansive windows and outdoor living spaces capturing the western exposure across Upper South Long Lake. Interior features include both formal and informal dining areas, a lake facing kitchen with newer quartz counter tops, a gas burning fireplace in the great room, a wood burning wood stove in the family room and a main floor library or den with custom shelving and cabinetry. The upper level is your retreat among the pines. From an expansive loft area, French doors lead to the primary bedroom and bath. The walk-out level adds a family room and two additional bedrooms. A large wrap-around deck and screened porch provide inviting spaces to relax and entertain. The property also includes a charming chalet-style guest cabin with loft, a newer pole building, a new salt water hot tub, covered canoe and kayak racks and a separate sauna building with changing room. The shoreline features hard sandy bottom and easy water access, while the gentle elevation from the home to the lake makes the walk to the beach easy to navigate. Just across the road is Crow Wing County's Al-Pine trail, a county managed hiking and cross country ski destination. See more information in the supplements. This is a truly special lake property—private, wooded and naturally beautiful, yet easily accessible from the Twin Cities. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the custodian of this premier property and luxury dwelling on one of the Brainerd area's most desirable lakes.
