Discover an unparalleled investment opportunity on 4.2 acres of prime lakeshore property, boasting 615 feet of frontage on the serene Little North Star Lake. This 55-acre lake, with a maximum depth of 43 feet, offers peaceful surroundings, and with direct access to Big North Star Lake via a channel, you get the best of both worlds. The property features a private lot with a 30x40 metal pole barn and a two-stall attached garage, currently repurposed as an art studio.

With 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, including a master suite, a large lakeside deck, and a full walkout basement, this home provides the perfect canvas to create your ideal lake lifestyle.
