Property Description
Experience the best of Minnesota lake living with this exceptional custom-built home on crystal-clear Rainy Lake. Perfectly positioned on a point lot, this stunning property offers panoramic lake views from nearly every room, creating a breathtaking backdrop for everyday living.
From the moment you step through the front door, you'll be captivated by the dramatic wall of windows showcasing sparkling water, towering pines, and unforgettable sunrises. The private, pine-studded setting provides the perfect balance of seclusion and expansive lake views, while the home's close proximity to the shoreline creates an immersive waterfront experience.
Designed with quality and comfort in mind, the home features custom Knotty Alder cabinetry handcrafted by a local cabinet maker, matching Knotty Alder trim and doors throughout, Marvin windows, and striking Vulga Blue granite countertops imported from Ukraine. The open-concept living spaces are filled with natural light and showcase exceptional craftsmanship at every turn.
The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a beautiful walk-in tile shower featuring a rainfall shower head, heated bathroom floors, and a heated exhaust system for added comfort. A custom staircase railing serves as a one-of-a-kind centerpiece, incorporating artistic details inspired by the property's story, including loons, the lake, and a cabin that honors where the dream began.
Built for efficiency and durability, the home includes a poured ICF foundation, spray foam insulation throughout the home and garage, LP SmartSide Diamond Kote siding, a drilled constant-pressure well, forced-air heating and central air conditioning, plus in-floor heat in the basement, garage, and primary bathroom.
The inviting screen porch is designed for three-season enjoyment, offering the perfect place to relax, entertain, watch the game, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the lake.
Adding even more value is the full unfinished lower level, already framed and stubbed for an additional bedroom, bathroom, and spacious family room. With full look-out windows and continued lake views, this space provides an incredible opportunity to build equity and customize the home to fit your needs—whether you're looking for additional guest accommodations, expanded living space, or the ultimate lakeside entertainment area.
Wildlife is abundant, the fishing and recreation opportunities are endless, and every detail of this home was thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort, efficiency, and the incredible natural beauty that surrounds it. This is more than a lake home—it's a lifestyle, and a rare opportunity to own one of the finest properties on Rainy Lake.
