About this home

Discover an unparalleled investment opportunity on 4.2 acres of prime lakeshore property, boasting 615 feet of frontage on the serene Little North Star Lake. This 55-acre lake, with a maximum depth of 43 feet, offers peaceful surroundings, and with direct access to Big North Star Lake via a channel, you get the best of both worlds. The property features a private lot with a 30x40 metal pole barn and a two-stall attached garage, currently repurposed as an art studio. While the home is in need of some restoration and finishing work, it presents a unique chance to revitalize this space into a lakeside retreat. Move in and renovate at your own pace, turning this house back into its former beauty. With 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, including a master suite, a large lakeside deck, and a full walkout basement, this home provides the perfect canvas to create your ideal lake lifestyle. Don't miss out on the opportunity to craft your dream home on the shores of Little Northstar Lake.
