Rarely does a property of this significance become available. Encompassing approximately 80 acres with nearly 2,000 feet of frontage on crystal-clear, spring-fed Brooks Lake, this remarkable parcel has remained in the same family for more than 100 years. Majestic mature timber frames the shoreline, creating an incredibly private setting with numerous spectacular building sites overlooking the lake. Road frontage on both the north and south boundaries provides convenient access and future flexibility, while the property may be split, offering additional possibilities. With its natural shoreline, public lake access, and unmatched combination of acreage, waterfront, and history, this is a true legacy property unlike anything else on the market. Additional 7 acres w 600 ft. on Pearl Lake with home also avilable.
