You will find the best of both worlds with this get away retreat on Bear Lake with the peace and quiet out in the country, yet only 1 hour from the Twin Cities. Set on a wooded and private 1.7 acre lot with an elevated view and southern exposure, it's just steps to the lake with 460 feet of frontage, where you're sure to enjoy kayaking, bonfires or just relaxing on this no-wake Lake. This custom built home offers floor to ceiling windows, vaulted ceiling, 30x8 deck, heated floors, beautiful wood floors, maple cabinets, and an open design great for entertaining. The walkout lower level offers great additional space and is 3/4 completed (insulated, sheet rocked, and heated with a rough-in bath) and waiting for your finishing touches.  The spacious garage will easily fit the included lawnmower, along with the pedal boat. Homeowner’s favorite feature: the view, the wildlife, bonfires, starry skies, and the moon shining across the lake. Conveniently located within 10 minutes of many activities (skiing, golfing, hiking, along with the St. Croix River, movie theater, flea market, and shopping in Taylor Falls and St. Croix Falls area).
