Turn key - quick possession! Escape to a place where life moves a little slower, the air feels a little fresher, and every day begins with the sights and sounds of the lake. This charming year-round retreat on Long Lake #2 offers 100 feet of shoreline and comes almost completely furnished, making it easy to start enjoying lake life from day one. Recent improvements include a new refrigerator, fresh interior paint, a recently installed mini-split system for efficient year-round comfort, and a newer 3-bedroom septic system that provides added flexibility should you choose to expand in the future. Positioned close to the water, the home offers front-row views of the lake from sunrise to sunset. The walkout level features the kitchen, dining area, and a comfortable living space with a fireplace, creating a welcoming place to gather after a day outdoors. Newer flooring adds a fresh, updated feel throughout. Step outside and discover several inviting spaces to relax and entertain. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the concrete patios, spend the afternoon on the detached deck overlooking the lake, or gather around the lakeside fire pit as evening settles in. The deck was recently re-stained, the large picnic table was refreshed this spring, and a carport with an attached storage area provides convenient space for lake gear and equipment. Long Lake #2 offers excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and year-round recreation. Cast a line from the dock in the summer, enjoy ice fishing in the winter, or explore the nearby trails at Deep Portage for hiking and cross-country skiing. Whether you’re seeking adventure or simply a peaceful place to unwind, this inviting lake property offers the opportunity to enjoy every season at your own pace.
