This home surprises you the moment you pull in. Surrounded by wide-open lots and modern homes with room to breathe, it's tucked into a countryside neighborhood that blends the grassy plains of Central Minnesota with hints of up-north charm. Technically Backus, but just a stone’s throw from Pine River, this property offers perfect location for all things Brainerd Lakes. The house itself still looks like a new build (2021), clean lines, modern design, spacious layout. Color, cabinetry and flooring is all fresh and appealing for the era, and the unfinished basement is framed and ready for your ideas. Set up an additional bathroom, game room, or multiple bedrooms with appropriate egresses already in place! With no neighbors directly across the road, your front view overlooks the Lakes Music and Events Park, home to the Lakes Bluegrass Festival in August but otherwise usually vacant. If you’re looking for something fresh and modern but not way out in the sticks, this home hits the sweet spot. Come see where the prairie meets the pines.
