Looking for a relaxing summer get away, a cozy winter retreat or your full time lake home? You'll find it here, on this private, quiet lake with your own boat launch — the kind of spot made for slow pontoon cruises, dock-side fishing, and lazy afternoons on the kayak, paddle board, or paddle boat. The lake bottom is clean and sandy right off the dock, so wading in is as easy as the fishing is good. Sitting on a .55 acre lot with 200' of lakeshore, this 1,693 sq ft home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms — plenty of room for family and guests. Lake views stretch across the kitchen, living room, and deck, so you're never far from the water no matter where you land. The kitchen and living room are generously sized — built for entertaining, whether that's a full house for the holidays or a summer crowd fresh off the boat. The level lake lot rolls out perfectly for yard games, and there's a resident pair of loons that returns each year to raise their babies right in front of you. The garage isn't an afterthought either: a third stall is insulated and heated, ready to be a year-round rec room, workshop, or whatever you need it to be. Just a 7-minute drive gets you to the Gull Lake boat launch, opening up the entire Gull Lake chain for exploring, and you're still close enough to Nisswa, Brainerd, Baxter, and BIR for dining, shopping, golf, and everything else the Brainerd Lakes Area has to offer. This lake already has a track record as a successful VRBO, making it a smart pick for anyone looking for a turnkey rental property, not just a family getaway. Whether you're chasing quiet mornings on the water or looking to add a proven income property to your portfolio, this one delivers. Come see the sunrise over your own private lake for yourself!
