About this property
Beach days, quiet mornings, wooded views, and a backyard that feels tucked away from everything. This Brainerd home has the kind of charm you notice the moment you arrive. Perched above the surrounding landscape near Rice Lake, the property feels almost like a hidden little cottage in the woods. Mature trees, colorful sumac, and a generous backyard create a private setting with plenty of room to garden, entertain, relax around a fire, or simply enjoy the outdoors. And when you feel like getting out, Lum Park and the beach at Rice Lake are just a short stroll down the street. Inside, the home has personality you simply do not find in every house. Built-in dining room cabinetry adds character, the eat-in kitchen feels comfortable and inviting, and the updated back family room opens toward the backyard, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. Then there is the basement. It is huge, open, and ready for whatever you have been wishing you had more room for. Finish additional living space, create a workshop, home gym, hobby room, theater, or simply enjoy an incredible amount of storage. There is even a separate shelved bonus room that could make an excellent pantry, canning room, or organized storage space. There is something wonderfully unpretentious about this property. It feels cozy without feeling small, private without being isolated, and full of possibilities without needing to become something it is not. Walk to Lum Park. Spend the afternoon at Rice Lake. Come home to a backyard surrounded by trees, then start dreaming about everything you could do with all that space downstairs. A charming Brainerd home with a woodsy setting, recreation just down the street, and so much room to make it completely your own.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
