Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, as properties offering both a treasured family legacy and established income-producing potential are seldom passed from one family to another. The property features 12 updated fully furnished cabins, including three newer log homes, 14 licensed RV sites, with six separately platted parcels ranging from approximately 0.85 to 0.99 acres, creating flexibility and long-term value rarely found in resort properties. Guests enjoy everything that makes a classic Minnesota lake vacation unforgettable, including a beautiful sandy swimming beach, beach volleyball court, three docks with boat slips, playground, fish cleaning house, traditional sauna, game room, and an on-site gift and bait shop. An owner/manager residence is located on the property, allowing for convenient year-round management and operation. Ownership has made substantial capital improvements, including a new $250,000 septic system and drain field, providing peace of mind for years to come. Whether you’re looking to continue operating a successful, turnkey resort, expand the existing business, or simply invest in one of the finest lakefront properties in the Perham Lakes Area, Whispering Pines presents an exceptional opportunity. Properties offering this combination of acreage, level sandy shoreline, established income, and development flexibility rarely become available.
