Property Description
Rare Lakefront Opportunity on Whiteface Reservoir — First Time Ever Offered to the Public and the Seller is MOTIVATED. Discover one of the most extraordinary lakefront properties in Northern Minnesota, now available for the very first time. Nestled on a private peninsula along the pristine shores of Whiteface Reservoir, this remarkable 2.5+ acre estate offers over 1,200 feet of coveted lakeshore — a figure that speaks for itself. With a sandy beach, a private boat launch, and sweeping water views from nearly every direction, this peninsula setting is truly unmatched. The property includes a cozy one-bedroom, two-bath home, perfect as a primary residence, cabin retreat, or guest quarters. It also features a large, heated garage with a studio space and an upper-level office — both easily convertible into additional living space to suit your vision. Step outside to your private outdoor sauna and shower, where the boundary between rustic luxury and natural beauty simply dissolves. With a rich history as a former campground, the land is well-suited for continued recreational use, a family compound, or thoughtful redevelopment. A 40 x77 prepped and seasoned building pad is ready for your dream build, and a brand new well and septic system mean the infrastructure is in place and waiting. Whether you envision a private family retreat, a luxury lodge, or a one-of-a-kind investment property, the bones are already here. Properties like this don't come along. Ever. Call to schedule a tour!
