Overview

Description

Discover the potential of this unique 24-acre parcel featuring approximately 1,900 feet of shoreline on scenic Smith Lake. While the land is unbuildable wetlands, it offers the perfect setting to create your own rustic getaway—fill in a small 100SF pad and immerse yourself in the peaceful sights and sounds of this natural marshland setting. Smith Lake spans 490 acres and reaches a depth of 54 feet, making it a great spot for fishing and recreation. Located just a short distance from Mille Lacs Lake and Kathio State Park, the area is packed with outdoor activities year-round. Enjoy access to ATV and snowmobile trails, golf, the Grand Casino, a movie theatre, local restaurants, and shopping—all just minutes away. This property may require some vision and effort, but the reward could be a private retreat where lifelong memories are made. Whether you’re seeking solitude or planning a basecamp for adventure, this lakeshore acreage offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature.
