Turnkey lake property with income potential on a private recreational lake—this one checks boxes you don’t often see together. With an active short-term rental license already in place, this property is set up perfectly for VRBO/Airbnb use or as your own fully equipped getaway. Located on a quiet lake with just 12 property owners, you’ll appreciate the privacy, excellent fishing, and water quality that stands out—clarity levels rank in the top 5% of lakes in Minnesota. Despite its smaller acreage, the lake is deep with a hard sand bottom, making it ideal for swimming, boating, and very big fish! This property is built for hosting. A detached garage has been completely transformed into a 22x28 bunkhouse featuring a large game room—perfect for guests, extended family, or maximizing rental appeal. The detached two-car garage is finished and heated, giving you year-round shop space. Inside, the home offers granite countertops, a kitchen island, and a comfortable living area centered around a gas fireplace. Being sold fully furnished, this is a true turnkey setup including all lake toys present at showings— pontoon, and paddle boat—so it’s ready to enjoy or generate income from day one. Additional features include a boathouse and storage shed for all your lake essentials. Located near area resorts, numerous lakes, and the Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trails, this property offers access to some of the best recreation the Brainerd Lakes area has to offer. Properties with this level of privacy, water quality, rental readiness, and amenities rarely come available—don’t miss the opportunity to own a lake place that can truly pay for itself.
