A rare opportunity just steps from Twin Lakes this nearly 1-acre estate made up of 11 parcels offers an unmatched combination of comfort, flexibility, and investment potential. Whether you're seeking a serene primary residence, an income-generating vacation home, or a property with small business possibilities, this one has it all. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 2,000 square feet of warm, wood-accented living space. Custom-built kitchen cabinetry, a wood stove, laundry room, and a western-facing four-seasons room create a cozy yet functional environment. The home's interior is finished with 1" x 4" beaded tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and 1" x 8" car siding, all fully insulated for year-round efficiency. Newer insulated windows and doors, along with updated systems including 200 amp electrical, natural gas furnace, and a 50-gallon electric water heater ensure modern comfort.
A fully independent 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house offers 432 sq ft of living space with separate 100 amp electric service, natural gas heat, a 40-gallon electric hot water heater, and newer roof and siding. Perfectly suited for an in-law suite, additional dwelling unit (ADU), rental, or private guest retreat.
Additional structures include a finished and heated 30x28 ft garage/workshop with 3 overhead doors, insulated attic access, gas heat, and plumbing ideal for projects, storage, or small-scale production. A second 16x30 ft barn, built in 2016, offers further storage with an insulated garage door and service door, suitable for tools, tractors, or a studio-style workspace.
The property previously hosted a successful convenience store and laundromat, and the infrastructure remains in place: a commercial-grade septic system, 4" well, and access from three roads entering the lake area. Buyers may explore re-approval for commercial use through the municipality. Additionally, local banks and credit unions are prepared to offer small business lending options.
Whether you envision lakeside living, a flexible multi-residence property, or a return to small-town entrepreneurship 53027 Twin Lakes Rd offers the canvas, location, and infrastructure to bring your vision to life.
