Overview

Description

Experience the very best of lakeside living in this exquisite home tucked away on nearly five private acres along the highly coveted shores of Turtle Lake. Known for its crystal-clear waters and exceptional fishing, swimming, and recreation. Here, you’ll find the perfect balance of privacy and convenience—secluded on a quiet dead-end road, yet just 15 minutes from the local hospital, school, and arts center. This residence captures the essence of life at the lake with its level lot, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sweeping views from nearly every room. Screened in porch off the living room. Wake to soft sunrises over the water from the wraparound deck, accessible from both the kitchen and the primary suite. Enjoy peaceful mornings with coffee in hand, or host evenings with friends. Whether you’re cozying up beside one of the fireplaces or stepping out for a sauna in the lakeside boathouse, this property promises relaxation in every season. The home’s thoughtful updates blend modern convenience with timeless appeal: new hickory flooring and carpet, a freshly painted exterior (2025), upgraded mechanicals including new electric boilers, mini split, water heater, and well pump. Custom made Cherry Wood Cabinets with large kitchen island. In-floor heat throughout the main level. Everyday living is effortless with main-floor laundry, a private office, and a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and full bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide a welcoming space for family and guests. An attached heated garage, plus a detached three-stall garage, ensure ample room for vehicles, toys, and storage. Bonus room off the attached garage could be converted into additional sleeping quarters, workshop ect. Step outside and embrace the lifestyle only Turtle Lake can offer—whether it’s boating, swimming, or simply savoring the stillness of a quiet evening at the water’s edge. A rare find, this property combines seclusion, modern comfort, and the true spirit of lake living—all on one of Itasca County’s most beautiful lakes.
