Located in the Twin Lakes community, this is a perfect camp for year around recreation with 134' of lake frontage on Lake Gerald and easy access to snowmobile/ATV trails. Cabin could be year around residence with some winterization upgrades. However, this works beautifully as is, providing 2 (possible 3) bedrooms, 3/4 bath and plenty of room to spread out in the open living room/kitchen/porch. Laundry facilities are presently housed in a separate outbuilding. New septic system just installed. Most furnishings can stay to make this a turnkey acquisition.
