About this home
Discover the perfect blend of natural beauty and cozy comfort with this beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bath year-round log cabin on the shores of Brown Lake, better known as Captive Lake — a peaceful environmental lake just 90 minutes from the Twin Cities. Crafted with true log construction and highlighted by impressive custom stonework on two fireplaces, this home offers warm, inviting spaces in every season. Brown Lake is known for excellent fishing, producing large panfish, bass, and northern pike, while the sandy-bottom shoreline is ready for a summer of fun. The private dock makes it easy to enjoy quiet days on the water, and a paddle boat is included for instant lake enjoyment. This property also offers a strong rental history, making it an excellent investment opportunity or the perfect vacation home. Thoughtfully updated with a new on-demand water heater in 2019 and a new furnace in 2020, the home blends timeless charm with modern convenience. A new compliant septic system will be installed before closing for added peace of mind. Outside, you’ll find exceptional storage and flexibility with a 2-stall garage, 1-stall garage, barn-style storage shed, and garden shed. Conveniently located just 1 mile from Northwoods Hills Golf Course and only minutes from Lake Mille Lacs, Grand Casino Mille Lacs, and Garrison, this unique lakeside getaway offers a private setting with easy access to year-round attractions.
