This historic Crane Lake property sits on over 18 private wooded acres, offering 630 feet of Echo River shoreline. Built in 1928, this 5+ bedroom, 3-bath home has been completely renovated and sits near the water’s edge. Oversized windows frame stunning views of the rapids tumbling over upstream rocks. From your dock, it's only a short boat ride to Crane Lake, providing access to Voyageurs National Park, Canada, and the BWCA. With more than 3,600 square feet (including the basement) there’s ample space for large families or groups. Features include hard wood floors, knotty pine interiors, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and captivating views from most windows. Relax by the firepit and enjoy the sights and sounds of local wildlife. For added peace of mind, there’s a propane backup generator. Bordered by Federal land to the East & West. The home is currently part of a short-term rental program, making it a great option if you’re interested in extra income. Property comes fully furnished.
