If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but still want the amenities that make a truly enjoyable vacation, this is a beautiful solution. Set up as a future retirement home, this luxurious 2,500 square foot cabin has many features that will make your stay a comfortable one.
Swan Lake is located less than 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids in the quiet town of Pengilly, which is only 2.5 - 3 hours north of the Twin Cities. The property has 150 feet of East facing lakeshore with a sand bottom and gradual slope that invites you to play all day in the water. This lake is very quiet, but yet 2,700 acres gives you the feel of big water for both fishing and recreational boating - whatever you desire. A public boat landing is less than 1 mile away.
Watch the sun come up from the elevated deck as the day greets you. Excellent walleye fishing (and sunnies from the dock), skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and every other water sport imaginable can be done right from the shore or dock. Tie your own boats up to 2 sets of cleats on the dock, or use the 2 seat kayak available from the beach. Relax at the firepit, cedar swing, or hammock right down by the water after a fun day on the water, a round of golf at one of the nearby courses, or bike rides on the nearby Mesabi trail. If you’re a star-gazer, enjoy the Milky Way right from the dock, or if you’re a movie buff, enjoy the full theater experience in the walkout level with a 100” dropdown screen, projector, and 6 Barcalounger reclining theater chairs. If you're a Winter enthusiast, state snowmobile trails are accessible right from the property, and the fireplace and radiant floor heat in the lower level will warm you quickly upon your return. Plenty of board games are here for your enjoyment for quiet evenings with adults or kids.
This home includes a full kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, and large pantry. A 22" Weber charcoal grill is right outside the kitchen door. A large round dining room table seats 6-8, the kitchen island raised counter seats 3, and the bar seats 6 comfortably for meals indoors. Bring your whole family, as there are also 2 full sets of dining furniture with umbrellas that will seat 10 on the deck. 10 people will sleep soundly with 2 kings, 1 queen, and 2 double beds, with plenty of space for air mattresses if needed. No need for a full suitcase of clothes; a full sized, stackable washer and dryer are located on the lower level.
A very large deck overlooks the water, with glass paneled railings that enhance your viewing enjoyment. A full patio under the deck provides day long shade if desired.
This uniquely decorated home is truly one-of-a-kind, with vivid murals decorating the entire lower walkout level, and many other creative touches throughout the entire home.
Swan Lake provides a uniquely exhilarating, yet relaxing vacation spot at the same time, where you'll often find more loons and eagles than boats on the water. Experience the best that Northern Minnesota has to offer!
