Opportunity like this doesn’t come around often. Nestled on over 1.06 acres on the highly sought-after Big Lake, this property offers an incredible 600+ feet of panoramic shoreline, creating a setting that truly feels like your own private island. The existing cabin is in need of renovation or could be removed entirely, giving you the flexibility to bring your vision to life. Whether you're looking to restore a charming getaway retreat or build your dream lake home from the ground up, the possibilities here are endless. Surrounded by water views in nearly every direction, this is a rare chance to own a one-of-a-kind property with unmatched privacy, breathtaking scenery, and space to create something truly special. Make this your perfect escape or transform it into the ultimate lakefront estate. Per Stearns County: 20927 Big Lake Road appears to have been built prior to the 1972 state shoreland rules, and is located less than 50ft from Big Lake. It is therefore considered a legal nonconforming structure. Normal maintenance can occur to this structure without a construction site permit from Stearns County, however a building permit may be required from Munson Township. Replacement of this structure to the same dimensions and in the same location may be allowed by issuance of a construction site permit, subject to possible mitigation requirements, and the lowest floor elevation must be at or above an elevation of 1099.15ft
