Rare is the property that combines Up North vintage soul with modern operational ease. Featuring frontage on two lakes with sand shoreline Smith and West Smith chain of lakes, this three-cabin compound sits on grandfathered shoreline footprint that could never be replicated under today's zoning codes. The 1200 sq' main lodge is suitable for year-round use with two plus bedrooms and 1 and ¼ bath, main floor laundry, vaulted ceilings and sliding doors to a large deck that captures sunsets to remember. The septic is compliant as well. The additional two cabins have one-bedroom ¾ baths and additional sleeping space; both are charmingly updated. There is also a sauna, 2 stall garage (dirt floor) fish cleaning house, and shed. West smith features 389' of shoreline and Smith has 138'. Beyond the rare dual-lake topography and hard-sand swimming, the property operates as a turnkey, permitted short-term rental with reliable management support already established. With exceptionally low property taxes, a fully compliant septic system, the estate offers flexible utility: use it as a private family getaway, leverage the active Airbnb setup to offset carrying costs, or seamlessly balance both.
