Description

Experience the Up North lifestyle without the Up North drive. Set on over 1 acre with an impressive 258 feet of shoreline on Freeborn Lake, this private wooded retreat offers the perfect blend of seclusion, recreation, and convenience just minutes from Kensington, Alexandria, Andes Tower Hills (downhill snow skiing), snowmobile trails, and countless outdoor activities. Freeborn Lake is known for excellent fishing, boating, kayaking, and year-round enjoyment. With the room to comfortably accommodate family and friends, this property offers outstanding short-term rental potential for both summer and winter visitors. Nearly every major improvement has already been completed, including a new garage with guest house (comes fully furnished) & EV plug-in, new kitchen, new bathrooms, mechanical systems, irrigation, landscaping, freshly stained exterior, composite decking and more! Designed for gathering, the home features fireplaces on both the main and lower levels, a walkout basement, two main-level bedrooms, plus two additional (non-conforming) bedrooms downstairs. The furnished guest house provides exceptional flexibility with a living room, bedroom (5th bedroom), and space roughed in for a third bathroom, ideal for guests, extended family, or added privacy. The dock and lift are included, most furnishings are negotiable, and everything is ready for immediate enjoyment. Privacy, extensive updates, 258 feet of lakeshore, and year-round recreation, it's all here.
