About 5000 Lakeshore Dr
Rare Lakefront Opportunity on Whiteface Reservoir — First Time Ever Offered to the Public. Discover one of Northern Minnesota's most extraordinary lakefront properties, available for the very first time. Nestled on a private peninsula along pristine Whiteface Reservoir, this 2.5+ acre estate boasts over 1,200 feet of coveted lakeshore with sweeping water views in nearly every direction. A sandy beach and private boat launch set the tone for effortless lakefront living. The one-bedroom, two-bath home is complemented by a heated garage with a convertible studio and upper-level office — ready to become additional living space. An outdoor sauna and shower complete the resort-like experience. With a history as a working campground, this land is primed for a family compound, luxury lodge, or premier investment property. A seasoned 40x77 building pad, new well, and new septic mean the infrastructure is already in place — just bring your vision. Properties like this don't come along. Ever.
