Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Forest Lake, Minnesota

Set on 38.6 wooded acres with over 2000 feet of natural cattail shoreline on Cranberry Lake, this one-of-a-kind property offers privacy and quiet, a peaceful natural setting close to Forest Lake. The custom-built fieldstone home offers over 3,000 finished square feet, featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, wood flooring and an impressive stone fireplace that anchors the main living area. Large windows capture lake views and allow the outdoors in, with mature wooded surroundings near the home site. Much of the surrounding acreage is lowland, insuring forever privacy. The upper level is fully functional, with it's own kitchen and separate entrance, offering potential for a mother-in-law apartment, guest suite, or overflow lodging. Many of the home's fixtures, finishes and mechanical systems are original to the one-owner home, and some love and money will be needed for updates and improvements. There is no garage or outbuilding, but there is room for the building of your choice. An updated septic design has been completed and is available for review, or a cost estimate. Property is being sold as-is. Whether you're looking for a private, quiet, year-round residence; or nature watching in abundance over a campfire; or a more sporting venue (duck and deer hunting in the fall, or summer panfishing on Cranberry), this parcel may be just right for you. Nearby is the 20-acre North Shore Trail Nature Area, and the Forest Lake public boat access is just down the road.
