About This Home

1489 Gateway Drive Nw

If you are looking for a fixer-upper with privacy and lakeshore – you have found it here on the turquoise waters of Horseshoe Lake in Backus! As you drive down the long, tree-studded driveway, you will find peace and serenity abound on this gorgeous 7+ acre wooded property.  The property offers 150' of lakeshore with crystal-clear water and a sandy beach for children to splash and play.  Not only does the spring-fed lake have excellent fishing, but the property also adjoins thousands of acres of public land for hiking, hunting, and exploring, making it an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The main cabin has been gutted and is ready for your vision or bring plans for a new home set beneath the beautiful towering pines. This property offers opportunity with the main cabin, boat house on the water’s edge, guest cabin, garage and storage shed.   Properties on this pristine, highly sought-after lake are rarely offered for sale, making this a truly exceptional opportunity.  With 7.8 acres of privacy, 150’ of lakeshore with gentle elevation to the pristine lake, you will find a rare opportunity to create a true legacy property for generations to come.
