Property Description
From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the care and updates throughout the home. Fresh paint inside and out and brand-new carpet throughout create a clean, modern feel, while the newer boiler and on-demand water heater provide comfort and efficiency for years to come. This well-cared-for, one-owner home reflects pride of ownership throughout and is ready for its next chapter.
Adding to its unique appeal, the property was once part of the historic Squirrel Beach Resort, a popular vacation destination during the 1940s. Twin Cities vacationers would arrive by train, with the railroad making a stop right at the property. A fascinating piece of that history remains today in the form of the original working hand-pump well from the cabin that once occupied the site, offering a rare connection to the area's lakeside resort heritage.
The stunning panoramic lake views are truly the highlight of this property. Whether you're relaxing indoors or enjoying time outside on one of the three expansive decks, you'll have a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful scenery the Chisago Lakes Chain of Lakes has to offer. The included 54-foot dock makes it easy to spend your days boating, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying life on the water.
South Lindstrom Lake is part of the renowned Chisago Lakes Chain of Lakes, an interconnected system of approximately 5,000 acres of water that includes North and South Center Lakes, Chisago Lake, North and South Lindstrom Lakes, and Green Lake. This incredible chain offers miles of boating, waterfront dining, fishing, water sports, and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the area's small-town charm, local shops, restaurants, parks, trails, community events, and easy access to the Twin Cities.
The spacious lot provides plenty of room for future expansion and offers the flexibility to add additional outbuildings, making it ideal for storing boats, recreational vehicles, or creating the workshop you've always wanted. The property is perfectly suited for hosting family and friends, with ample outdoor space for gatherings, games, bonfires, and making lifelong memories at the lake.
Inside, there is approximately 600 square feet of unfinished basement space ready for your ideas, offering excellent potential to add significant finished living area and increase the home's value. Whether you envision a family room, home office, fitness area, or additional sleeping space, the opportunity is yours to create.
Properties offering this combination of sandy shoreline, expansive lot size, stunning views, modern updates, future expansion potential, rich local history, and access to the entire Chisago Lakes Chain are increasingly rare. Don't miss your chance to own a slice of lakefront paradise in one of Minnesota's most desirable waterfront destinations.
