Wake up to the sun rising over the water. At the end of a quiet dead-end road, this warm and inviting east-facing lake home on Lake Francis offers the privacy, peace, and year-round recreation that lake lovers dream about, all within 70 miles of the Twin Cities. The Lake: Lake Francis spans over 1,053 acres with 7 miles of shoreline, exceptional water clarity, and a hard sand bottom. It's a full-recreation lake teeming with Walleye, Northern Pike, Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, and more. Summer brings boating, swimming, and sunset pontoon rides. Winter delivers world-class ice fishing and snowmobiling. This lake never runs out of reasons to be here. The Home: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a large office/flex space that adapts to however you live. Set it up as a dedicated work-from-home office with a lake view that makes every call worth showing up for. Use it as a game room for rainy afternoons, a cozy reading nook stocked floor to ceiling with your favorites, a yoga and wellness studio to start the morning right, or a gear and tackle room to keep everything organized and ready to go. At a lake home, a truly flexible space is one of the most valuable things you can have and this one delivers. The Fireplace: The heart of this home is a stunning double-sided fireplace, open to both the living room and the dining room. Picture a late October evening, the lake is glassy, the trees are turning, and a fire crackles warmly on both sides as dinner is served and the conversation flows. It's the kind of architectural detail that makes a house feel like a true retreat, transforming cool Minnesota nights into the coziest moments of the year. Whether you're curled up on the living room couch with a book or gathered around the dining table with family, the fire is always with you. Outdoor Living: Two porches set this property apart. The screened-in porch is your bug-free sanctuary for evening conversations and coffee at sunrise. The open porch is perfectly positioned to soak in those stunning east-facing lake views, the kind of spot where hours disappear without apology. The .70-acre lot offers rare breathing room on a premium lake: space for bonfires, lawn games, and a life lived largely outside. The Garage: The oversized 2-car garage includes a dedicated workshop area, ideal for storing boats, snowmobiles, kayaks, and all the gear that comes with a full four-season lake lifestyle. Whether you're tuning up the fishing rods or building something by hand on a crisp fall afternoon, this space delivers. The Location: Sitting at the end of a private dead-end road, this property offers the kind of seclusion that's nearly impossible to find on a lake this size. No through traffic. Total privacy. Just the sounds of water, birds, and your people. The Opportunity: For the buyer ready to enjoy now, move right in and be on the water over 4th of July Weekend. For the buyer with a bigger vision, this east-facing .70-acre lot on a 1,000+ acre full-recreation lake is one of the finest build sites Lake Francis has seen available in years. Design the luxury lake home you've always imagined, right here. Lake Francis inventory is limited and moves fast. Don't wait.
