Experience elevated lake living on fully recreational Island Lake—where refined comfort meets timeless cabin charm. This rare south-facing 0.39-acre lakefront lot offers the perfect setting to create a luxury cabin-style retreat or custom lake home in the heart of Shoreview. Enjoy the serenity of the quieter north basin while maintaining seamless boat and kayak access through the underpass to the vibrant south basin. A private dock is already in place, inviting effortless days on the water. The property has been professionally surveyed, soil tested, and prepared for a walkout design, ideal for capturing sweeping lake views and indoor-outdoor living. Sellers have completed demolition, grading, erosion control, and selective tree removal—allowing you to focus on design, not prep work. City water, sewer, and electric are available at the lot. Embrace all four seasons with boating and paddle boarding in summer, cozy lakeside bonfires in fall, skating in winter, and excellent fishing year-round. Bring your own builder and craft a warm, sophisticated lake retreat tailored to your vision. Nestled in the highly desirable Randy–Gramsie neighborhood and the award-winning Mounds View School District, with easy access to parks, trails, dining, and shopping—just 11 minutes to St. Paul and 15 to Minneapolis. A truly exceptional opportunity to build a luxury lake escape close to the city.
Grass Lake, located between Lexington Avenue and Rice Street, is a residential and lakeside Shoreview neighborhood with a chain of wetlands and a quiet, wooded street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rice Street corridor near County Road I, where small local storefronts and everyday errands set the pace. Homes lean toward mid-century ramblers and split-levels, with pockets of newer builds near trail connections. The landscape reads as water-first, with cattail marsh edges, boardwalk-style paths, and frequent views across Grass Lake. Shoreview Community Center and the adjacent trails add a steady rhythm of recreation and classes. Snail Lake Regional Park frames the area with beach days, picnic lawns, and long loops for walking and biking.
