    Property Description

    Since 1886, this breathtaking property has been in the care of one devoted family—a testament to the profound connection they’ve shared with this land. Properties like this don’t come along often, and when they do, they tell a story of love, legacy, and dreams fulfilled. Nestled along the pristine shores of Albert Lea Lake, this 40-acre paradise offers 16 tillable acres, unmatched natural beauty, and a lifestyle defined by peace, privacy, and wonder. It’s a setting where turkey, deer, pheasants, pelicans, and countless other forms of wildlife roam freely—where every sunrise over the water feels like a gift. Picture hosting unforgettable family gatherings on the expansive 35' x 24' deck, surrounded by nothing but fresh air, birdsong, and shimmering lake views. Wander down the thoughtfully designed walkways that lead to the lakefront haven—a quiet, soul-soothing space that feels like something out of a dream. This is more than a hunter’s retreat or a nature lover’s escape. It’s a place where families grow, traditions take root, and memories are made. The mature trees—oak, evergreen, spruce, and even apple and pear—offer not just shade and beauty, but the promise of fresh pie, cobbler, and homemade breakfasts with eggs collected just steps from your door. The charming 3-bedroom home has been meticulously cared for and features modern amenities including central air and 220V electrical service, while preserving the heart and soul of country living. A modern 2-stall garage, chicken shed, silo, and additional outbuildings provide everything you need for a self-sustained lifestyle or weekend retreat. And though you’ll feel miles away from everything, you're just minutes from town, easily accessed via paved road. You don’t just buy a place like this—you inherit its legacy. From stories of grandchildren sliding down the staircase, to generations gathering under the canopy of stars, this land has seen it all. Now, it’s ready for its next chapter. Don’t miss the Open House on Sunday, August 3rd. Come walk the trails, breathe the air, and see for yourself why this extraordinary property has been cherished for nearly 140 years. Your dream begins here.
