A truly special lake retreat with the charm and character of a vintage 1950s Minnesota resort. Set on more than 2 private, peaceful wooded acres with approximately 150 feet of sandy shoreline, this one-of-a-kind A-frame cabin is the kind of place that feels like a getaway the moment you arrive. Thoughtfully designed and originally handcrafted by a remarkably talented owner-builder who incorporated wood, stone and materials from the property itself, the home has been lovingly maintained and improved by its current owners while preserving the character that makes it so unique. Inside, soaring A-frame lines, warm natural materials and wonderful lake views create an inviting cabin atmosphere. The spacious primary suite offers a private bath, walk-in closet and office area, while the upper-level loft/bunk room provides plenty of room for family and guests. A three-season sunroom and screened porch overlook the peaceful lake and grounds. Outside is where this property really shines. Enjoy approximately 150 feet of shoreline with a broad sandy-bottom swimming area and plenty of level space near the lake for bonfires, games and summer gatherings. The shoreline has been lightly used in recent years and could benefit from a little grooming, but the beautiful sand bottom and beach area remain. A substantial detached garage provides exceptional storage for vehicles, boats and lake toys, plus a large finished upper-level bunkhouse/guest space or studio, perfect for accommodating a crowd. Located on quiet, recreational Erskine Lake, where motorized boats are permitted but traffic is refreshingly light, this is a genuine escape from the city without the long drive, less than two hours from the Twin Cities. Private acreage. Sandy lakeshore. Wonderful character. Room for family and friends. And an asking price significantly below the property's current assessed value. An extraordinary opportunity to own an authentic Minnesota lake retreat at an exceptional value.
