This is the spot. Explore the lake and river from a home that's free of heavy shoreline pressure and activity like many other lakes. The home has been extensively updated to reflect a clean, modern interior while preserving the character expected in a true lake retreat. New flooring runs through the main living areas, complemented by updated windows that draw in natural light and frame the surrounding woods and water. The kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, new appliances, while fresh paint and updated lighting carry throughout the home. A walkout lower level adds flexible living space, and the primary suite connects directly to the deck, creating a seamless transition to the outdoors and elevated lake views. The exterior continues to perform with a fenced yard, separate 3-stall and single-stall garages, and a series of recent improvements across all structures. A wooded roadway extends from the home down to the shoreline, where a new dock and boardwalk provide easy access to Lind Lake, which is well known for its fishing and fed directly by the Pine River. With a balance of privacy, usability, and updated features, this property presents a compelling opportunity for lakefront ownership in the Backus area.
