About This Home

As of October 2012

What an opportunity to own a nice 2 bedroom year around home with 64' of sandy shoreline on good fishing Rainbow Lake. This home needs a little TLC but was lived in year around and has a lot of potential. Large kitchen, living room looking out over the lake with lots of windows, 16x24 attached garage, main floor laundry room and a large deck for family fun. All this located only miles from Federal land for hunting, snowmobiling, and trail riding. Great Deal $78,900
