A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own 5.17 breathtaking acres along the shoreline of Dickeys Lake. Filled with charm, character, and history, this special property offers peaceful country living just minutes from Long Lake, Wayzata, parks, trails, and award-winning Orono schools. The land is truly extraordinary—gentle rolling lawn, mature trees, a private lakeshore setting, and serene natural views in every direction. The original farmhouse features timeless details and inviting spaces ready to be restored, reimagined, or expanded to suit your vision. Or build your dream home on the land that is already cleared, with city water and sewer connected. Adding to the magic of this property is a charming barn with a finished studio above—showcasing rustic exposed beams and offering the perfect retreat for artists, musicians, guests, or a private work-from-home sanctuary. With so much space, beauty, and potential, this is a rare chance to create a dream lakeside homestead, hobby farm, or legacy estate!
