🚨 INVESTORS — TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT PINE RIVER 🚨

New price. Existing income. Motivated seller. And an opportunity that may have more upside than you noticed the first time around.

📍 450 Murray Avenue, Pine River, MN
💰 NOW OFFERED AT $327,900

Here’s what caught my attention:

The property currently has THREE occupied rental units producing a seller-reported $3,250 per month — $39,000 annualized gross rental income.

And there’s more to the story.

The lower-level/Unit 2 space is currently vacant and is NOT included in that $39,000 figure. That creates an opportunity for the next owner to evaluate the space for additional rental-income potential, subject to applicable approvals, licensing and requirements.

Current reported rents:

🏠 Unit 1 — $1,700/month, leased through August 2027
🏠 Unit 3 — $700/month, month-to-month
🏠 Unit 4 — $850/month, month-to-month
🔑 Unit 2 — vacant; no projected rent included in the current income

That means you’re not looking at a property where the entire investment story depends on finding tenants after closing. There is already an established rental base producing income.

Add in an updated rental license, 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, approximately 2,508 finished sq. ft., a 2-stall garage, new deck, new kitchen flooring and more than $15,000 in recent updates, and there is a lot here for an investor to evaluate.

At $327,900, our seller is making a meaningful move because she would like to find the right buyer before winter.

Twin Cities investors: Pine River may not be the first place you search when you're looking for your next rental property — and that may be exactly why this one deserves a closer look.

⛳ Want to live where “Which course are we playing today?” is an actual weekend decision?

Just west of Wayzata, 612 Nelson Rd in Independence puts you close to some of the west metro’s best golf while giving you something most golf-area homes can’t:

3 private acres. Real character. Incredible garage space. And room to breathe.

At home, you get:

* Approx. 5,650 finished sq. ft.
* 5 bedrooms | 6 bathrooms
* Comprehensive recent upgrades
* Gourmet kitchen with brand-new appliances
* Hand-scraped wide-plank pine floors
* Vaulted wood ceilings + natural stone
* Finished walkout with entertaining kitchen
* W**e cellar + sauna
* Multiple decks with panoramic nature views
* 4-car tandem attached garage
* Detached 3-stall garage + workshop + upper-level flex space
* Backing to Pioneer Creek Golf Course

Now offered at $1,199,900.

If your ideal lifestyle includes golf nearby, privacy at home, and easy access to Wayzata, this one deserves a closer look.

If you understand lake property, this is the shoreline you come see before someone else figures it out.

OPEN HOUSE | 9/17 | 3:00–5:00pm

12388 Brookwood Circle on Cross Lake.

148 feet of premium sandy frontage.

Clear, swimmable water.

Hard sand bottom.

Quiet no-wake setting.

And a beautifully built chalet sitting remarkably close to the lake.

This is not the kind of property you fully understand from the listing photos.

You need to stand on the beach.

Look back at the house.

Look out across Cross Lake.

Then it starts to make sense.

A discerning Whitefish Chain buyer is eventually going to recognize exactly what this is.

And then it’s gone.

The best one-level lake home available right now?
Even the lake is on the same level.
16138 Zigmund Drive on Mitchell Lake gives you something that is hard to find:
True one-level living.
Level elevation.
No stairs to the water.
123 feet of private sandy shoreline.
And a 30x60 shop.
That is a serious combination.
The home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2,558 finished square feet, all on one level.
You also get 3.33 acres, a lakeside screened porch, a 2-car attached garage, beautiful landscaping, and a property that has been exceptionally well maintained inside and out.
But the part that matters most is how easy the lake actually is to use.
Walk out the door.
Across the lawn.
Onto the beach.
No steep hill.
No staircase.
For full-time lake living, retirement, multigenerational use, or anyone who simply wants easy access to the water, that matters.

**Offered at $1,149,900**
