How would you like to live along a private, serene lake with access to 3,200 acres of lake surface? What a beautiful property! You could just use the structures as cabins, rent them out and build a nice home there. The price is actually just for the land, those building are just being thrown into the equation, but it will give you a well and a septic to use and electric on the property along with mature trees and even a bunch of American Walnut trees! It is accessible year round and only 5 miles from a small town, 11 miles from Detroit Lakes with community college, box stores and a lot of activities and events. 45 minutes from Fargo, which has a commercial airport. Fargo is growing by leaps and bounds; it has a nice University also. You would have 1,770ft of lakeshore, and if you are so inclined, you could file for a variance at the county to put up vacation cabins and build your home on the hill behind it overlooking the lake and all the cabins to keep an eye on it. It would lend itself for that. You have 27 acres of forest and meadow (or up to 113 acres) for hunting. Only $ 275,000 for the 27 acres parcel (has been appraised for well over $ 500,000), that will leave you enough money to build a nice home. It is only a mile of gravel road to get there, I drove it with my little car which has about zero clearance without problem, it is well maintained and in winter gives you extra traction and privacy! If you want to run a hunting/fishing outfit, (you would need a permit from the county) the size of the accessible lake area is very important. Here you have access to 3,200 acres of lake surface for boating, fishing and snowmobiling.
Here are the facts, and just the facts, Ma'm:
The property:
Consists of 112.92 acres - surveyed into five tract parcels, which have been approved, but not recorded.
Features 1771'+- feet of lakeshore on Recreational Development Lake Rossman (west boundary of Lot 1).
Also has 664'+- feet of lakeshore on Environmental Lake Bergerson (north boundary of Lot 3).
Vegetation includes mix of hardwoods, open fields and wetlands.
Has been proven to be an excellent producer of whitetail deer and exceptional yields of fish.
Structures:
    Main house (full accommodations) will sleep 5-6 comfortably.
    Guest house (full accommodations) will sleep 5 comfortably.
    Detached garage.
    Small shop/tool shed.
    Small cabin off Lake Bergerson on Lot 3 with wood stove (not intended to be occupied).
All buildings are in need of a new roof and could use some updating, but are fully functional - sold as is. If you want to buy one of the backside parcels, it will be the buyer's responsibility to put in the 25ft wide gravel road for access and to bring the utilities there underground.
The Property is used year round, and has been used exclusively as a summer lake cabin, deer hunting camp, winter snowmobiling and ice fishing camp.
Rossman Lake is connected by navigation channels to Upper Cormorant Lake, Nelson Lake and Middle Cormorant Lake, for a total of 3,200 acres of lake to explore.
To find the property take Highway 10 to Lake Park, which is between Fargo and Detroit Lakes. In Lakepark take County Highway 5 south to County Highway 6 and go West (right). South (left) on 145th (gravel road) about a mile to the parcel; my sign is on the right hand. After this property the road dead ends at the neighbor, but the road is being plowed by the county, which is quite handy and makes for year round easy access.
The Property is approximately 33 miles from Moorhead, MN and approximately 11 miles from Detroit Lakes, MN and is 3.25 hours from downtown Minneapolis, MN.
