About This Home

Discover the perfect blend of natural beauty and cozy comfort with this beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bath year-round log cabin on the shores of Brown Lake (better known as Captive Lake) — a peaceful environmental lake just 90 minutes from the Twin Cities. Crafted with true log construction and highlighted by impressive custom stonework on two fireplaces, this home offers warm, inviting spaces for every season. Thoughtfully updated with a new on-demand water heater (2019) and new furnace (2020), you’ll enjoy modern convenience with timeless charm. The private shoreline and dock make it easy to enjoy quiet days on the water, and a paddle boat is included for instant lake fun. Outdoors, the property conveniently provides multiple outbuildings: a 2-stall garage, 1-stall garage, barn-style storage shed, and a garden shed — perfect for all your tools, toys, and hobbies. Additional upgrades include a new well (2017) and brand-new holding tanks (to be installed by seller), ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Ideally located just minutes from Lake Mille Lacs, Grand Casino Mille Lacs, and the charming city of Garrison, this unique lakeside getaway offers a great private setting, while also having convenient access to local year-round attractions. Don't wait, schedule your showing today!
