Beautiful Portage Lake awaits you at this hand-crafted, 3 bedroom/2 bath, walk-out, 3+ Acre homestead, with unobstructed lakeshore views. In the heart of the Chippewa National Forest, Portage Lake is virtually unpopulated with only 20% publicly-owned lands. An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, Portage is nestled between two of northern Minnesota’s largest lakes - Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake - providing access to ATVs, fishing, and hunting. Home construction and materials are unique and of exceptional quality. Locally harvested solid Norway Pine beams frame the great room, tongue and groove cedar paneling throughout. Interior updates include quartz counters, new appliances, renovated bathrooms, oak flooring, window treatments, and a new furnace. Supplemental heating is provided by an outdoor wood burning furnace. Securely store and power all of your outdoor toys in a new oversized 36X44 two-door garage with fenced 36X10 lean-to shelter. Ample parking is available for your vehicles.
