Rare Build-Ready Lakefront Canvas on Long Lake with 200’ Shoreline & Sunset Views Positioned on a pristine 1.98-acre heavily wooded parcel, this property offers 200 feet of shoreline along quiet, non-congested Long Lake—a private 158-acre haven known for excellent panfish/bass fishing and tranquil waters. Natural topography allows for a full walkout lower level, elevating your main living space and deck to capture panoramic western sunset views over the water. Expansive 320'×351' lot with a 1-acre dense tree canopy creates an extraordinary privacy buffer from neighboring properties and the road. Electricity is connected/available at the road; served by a paved public road. Located within the highly regarded Rocori School District. Enjoy peaceful north-woods solitude just 20 minutes from St. Cloud, with quick, easy access to St. Joseph, Avon and Cold Spring conveniences. Bring your custom builder and design a year-round executive residence or quiet lakeside retreat.
