Lakeshore Home

Welcome to the Minnesota Lake Country's finest. This top of the line home is set in Otter Tail County and Central Minnesota. The county has 1048 lakes and boasts the most lakes per county than any other in the entire United States. The lakes vary greatly, but most have crystal clear water and are surrounded by a mix of hardwood and evergreen trees. Otter Tail Lake is 14,000+ acres and is a perfect match for this modern "North Country" home.

Whether you are looking for a vacation home or a place to hang your hat, this location has it all. Located just outside the city of Ottertail (pop. 451) one would enjoy golfing on one of the numerous championship courses highlighted by Thumper Pond Golf Course and Perham Lakeside Golf Course. Other attractions include exceptional walleye fishing and great boating on either the lake or on the many miles of the Otter Tail River.

The Otter Tail River adds great character, charm and a safe harbor for boats. From the lake, a sugar-sand beach with 104 feet of frontage extends 75 feet inland until it reaches the river. At this point a beautiful arching 5 foot wide bridge extends over the river. The river runs parallel to the lakeshore until it empties into the great lake about 1/8 mile downstream. Ducks and geese frequent the serenity of the river and can be seen quit often. Most property owners use the river as a harbor to protect their boats from waves of the lake. Don't worry though, there are plenty of days where the lake is a like a mirror.

Despite the top-quality beach and swimming area, the home itself is the ultimate attraction for this property. Built in 2005, this log-sided home features 2,950 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, large two stall garage, an open great room, hardwood floors, knotty pine vaulted ceiling, tile flooring, solid surface countertops, walk-out basement, stereo system throughout home and garage, underground sprinkler system, great natural light and quality custom wood work.

The main level hosts the master bedroom which is a roomy 12 feet by 26 feet. The attached bathroom adds great appeal with a jetted tub and separate stand up shower. The great room features a dining area and living room with commanding views through the many large windows overlooking the lake. In the corner of the living area a beautiful rock fireplace compliments the home's natural woodwork.

The lower level is accessed by a stairway with a log banister. A large family room opens to an office area and a custom built desk with log carved legs. From this area of the home a patio can be accessed which leads to the large, open back yard. The yard is lined with a variety of trees that give great colors during the fall season. The lower level is finished off with two large bedrooms, laundry room, utility room and a full bathroom.

This home could be listed at $550K but is at $488K for a quick sale. No other homes in this price range compare to the quality and attention to detail put into this property. Come and enjoy this piece of Minnesota's Lake Country.
