Highlights include: 9.36 acres Private-lake frontage Excellent fishing Very private and peaceful setting Modern home built in 2017 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom Fireplace Attached garage Metal roofWater views Established short-term rental history Close to Battle Lake and surrounding lake-country attractions If you’ve been looking for privacy, peaceful lake living, and a modern getaway surrounded by nature, this property is truly unique. Situated on 9.36 wooded acres along a quiet private lake, this modern 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a setting that is increasingly hard to find. With very limited activity on the lake, the property offers a level of peace and seclusion that you simply don’t get on many of the larger, busier lakes. Built in 2017, the home has a clean, modern feel with an open layout, fireplace, radiant electric heat, metal roof, attached garage, and beautiful water views. The smaller footprint makes it easy to maintain while the acreage gives you plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, explore, fish, hunt, relax, or potentially expand. This property would make an excellent private lake home, weekend getaway, family retreat, or short-term rental opportunity. It has already been operated as a vacation rental, giving a buyer the option to continue using it as an income-producing property if desired. Located in the heart of Minnesota lake country near Battle Lake and Clitherall, you can enjoy restaurants, shops, recreation, and the area’s many lakes while still returning home to your own secluded piece of waterfront.
