Property Description
Rare Rainy Lake waterfront living with panoramic views, exceptional craftsmanship, and room to grow. Set on a beautiful pine-studded point lot with approx 270ft of shoreline, this custom-built year-round lake home offers the kind of setting buyers dream about—sparkling water, towering pines, abundant wildlife, unforgettable sunrises, and expansive Rainy Lake views. Step inside and the lake immediately takes center stage. A dramatic wall of windows fills the open-concept living area with natural light while framing the ever-changing scenery outside. With the home positioned close to the shoreline, you'll enjoy an incredible sense of connection to the water, whether you're relaxing at home, entertaining guests, or enjoying your morning coffee. This Rainy Lake home was thoughtfully designed and built with quality, efficiency, and comfort in mind. Custom Knotty Alder cabinetry, doors, and trim—add warmth and character throughout the home, complemented by beautiful Vulga Blue granite countertops imported from Ukraine and high-quality Marvin windows. The spacious primary suite is a private retreat featuring a gorgeous walk-in tile shower with rainfall shower head, and heated bathroom floors. A custom staircase railing adds a truly unique artistic touch, incorporating details inspired by the property's story, including loons, the lake, and the original cabin where the dream began. Comfort and efficiency continue throughout the home with a poured ICF foundation, spray foam insulation in the home and garage, LP SmartSide Diamond Kote siding, a drilled constant-pressure well, forced-air heating and central air conditioning, and in-floor heat in the basement, garage, and primary bathroom. Enjoy Minnesota's lake lifestyle from the inviting three-season screen porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee, watching the game, entertaining friends, or simply listening to the loons and taking in the sights and sounds of Rainy Lake. And there's even more potential. The full unfinished lower level is already framed and stubbed for an additional bedroom, bathroom, and spacious family room. Full look-out windows bring in natural light and continue the beautiful lake views. Finish the space to create guest accommodations, a recreation room, home office, or expansive lakeside gathering space while adding significant value and equity to the home. Whether you're searching for a Rainy Lake vacation home, year-round lake house, Minnesota waterfront property, or a private recreational retreat, this property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, views, quality construction, and future potential. With outstanding fishing and recreation, abundant wildlife, and the natural beauty of Rainy Lake right outside your door, this is more than a home—it's the opportunity to live the lake lifestyle you've been waiting for.
