Picture summer days spent on the water, evenings watching the sun settle over the lake, and quiet mornings exploring your own property where deer, turkey, and grouse naturally move through the landscape. This 19.9+/- acre lake property offers a rare combination of waterfront living, recreational acreage, and privacy in the Brainerd Lakes Area with multiple areas for building opportunities to choose from. Upper South Long Lake is approximately 804 acres with nearly 6 miles of shoreline, reaches approximately 47 feet at its deepest point, and offers excellent fishing for crappie, panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. It is interconnected by a channel to South Long Lake, providing access to an additional approximately 1,309 acres and 9.8-10 miles of shoreline. Together, these interconnected lakes offer more than 2,100 acres of water and nearly 16 miles of combined shoreline for boating, fishing, and recreation. The land itself adds another dimension to the property. A hardwood mix of mature white pine, birch, maple, and black ash are scattered throughout the rolling topography, gradually transitioning into wooded shrub swamps creating a private wildlife haven with direct lake frontage. Deer, turkey, and grouse can be enjoyed right out your back door, creating exceptional opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Apart from the property characteristics themselves, the location is just as good. Located just 15 minutes from Brainerd, you'll have convenient access to premier and championship golf courses, restaurants, shopping, and countless recreational lakes. Mille Lacs Lake is also only 20 minutes away, adding another legendary destination for fishing and recreation nearby. The purchase also includes a 1/3 interest in PID 7607P000, consisting of approximately 4.4+/- acres, utilized for private access off County Road 23. This is a property where lake life, wildlife, privacy, and recreation come together - with the space and setting to create the Brainerd Lakes Area retreat you've been dreaming of.
