197 Broadwater Ln NE Longville, MN 56655

Here’s a home that feels like exhaling. The moment you turn off the main road, everything shifts. The pace softens. The winding drive curves through quiet forest and past small environmental lakes where trumpeter swans move like white brushstrokes across still water. It’s the kind of approach that makes you think, this is where I’d walk every day. Where the noise of the world fades long before you reach the driveway. Set on the shores of Woman Lake with 130 feet of shoreline, this home sits among tall red pines that filter the sunlight and frame the water without stealing the view. The property is thoughtfully landscaped with stone pathways that guide you toward the lake and around the home. On the lakeside, a wide, no-maintenance deck stretches across the back of the house, including a screened section that feels made for summer nights, loon calls, and the soft hush of wind moving through the treetops. Inside, the heart of the home unfolds under a soaring 24-foot knotty-pine ceiling, anchored by hand-hewn beams that bring warmth and dimension to the space. A gas fireplace rises in a column of stone up the full height of the wall, giving the living room a sense of permanence and grandeur. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together naturally, all facing the lake through a magnificent wall of windows that make the outdoors part of the architecture. Sunshine, storms rolling across the water, the sparkle of late-afternoon light, this home gives you a front-row seat to every mood of Woman Lake. The kitchen is a showpiece of design and function, with quartz counters, a five-seat island with built-in power, and a dedicated appliance garage to keep the workspace pristine. The dining area sits beside the windows, perfectly placed for gatherings that stretch long past dessert. The main level offers true single-level living, beginning with the owner’s suite, complete with its own bath, in-floor heat, and an oversized walk-in closet. A powder room, spacious laundry room, and a large office with custom cabinetry (and an irresistible lake view) round out the floor. Downstairs, the lower level invites movie nights, puzzles, games, and relaxed weekends. One of the rooms currently serves as a craft space but captures the lake beautifully and would transition seamlessly into a welcoming bedroom. In-floor heat keeps the entire level warm underfoot. Up the staircase, a loft looks over the main living area and out toward the water, a quiet perch perfect for reading or simply settling in. Two more generous bedrooms and a well-appointed bath complete the upper level, giving friends and family their own corner of the house. This is a home for people who appreciate space, light, craftsmanship, and the natural theater that only a lake like Woman can offer. A place where the drive in feels like a reset button, and the days slip into rhythm with the pines, the water, and the sky.
