Property Description
Turnkey Norway Lake getaway with dock included! This well-maintained property comes fully furnished, including a brand-new leather couch that converts to a queen-size bed and a new leather La-Z-Boy chair. Anew septic pump was installed and the system was pumped in November 2025.Situated on a large lot just shy of one acre, the property also features in-ground sprinklers for easy lawn maintenance. Enjoy the flexibility of a personal retreat and income-producing property. The home has been used as a semi–short-term rental and has generated approximately $20, 000 per year through Airbnb and VRBO. The current rental license is already in place, allowing the next owner to begin renting right away if you choose. Norway Lake offers great fishing and recreational opportunities right from your dock. We regularly catch walleye, crappie, northern pike, bass, and sunfish, with prime fishing typically early morning and late afternoon. From the lake, you can also boat down the Pine River all the way to the dam and beach. The property is located just 20 minutes north of Nisswa and about 30 minutes from Leech Lake, surrounded by countless lakes and outdoor recreation. The area offers excellent ATV trails, snowmobiling routes, and great hunting opportunities nearby. Local attractions include the Cass County Fairgrounds just down the road and the Bluegrass Festival only minutes away. An optional Norway Lake Association helps manage aquatic weed removal around docks each season, providing a convenient and cost-effective way to maintain clear water access. Whether you're looking for a Northwoods getaway, income-producing property, or both, this turnkey opportunity offers immediate enjoyment and rental potential.
