Property Description
Set just off County Road 3 on a low-traffic frontage road, this location puts the best of the Brainerd Lakes Area at your fingertips. Highway 3 is the central artery connecting the thriving shops, restaurants, and charm of Crosslake to the everyday conveniences of Brainerd and Baxter — meaning groceries, dining, hardware runs, and entertainment are all a quick, straight shot away. Once you turn down the drive, the pace shifts: the lake, the yard, and the shoreline become the focus, and the hum of daily life fades into the background.
The main level welcomes you with an open kitchen and dining area and a striking fireplace that anchors the living area, creating the perfect setting for cozy evenings. The expansive owner's suite is a true retreat, complete with its own private bath and a wood-burning stove. The walk-out basement extends your living space with an additional bedroom, bath, and laundry — ideal for guests or family.
Step outside and soak it all in. A wonderful 3-season porch facing the lake offers a bug-free spot to take in the sights and sounds of lake life, while the expansive decks provide the perfect setting for grilling, entertaining, and watching the sun dip below the horizon in brilliant color.
The sprawling yard is a highlight in itself — plenty of wide-open space for lawn games, playing catch, or simply spreading out, with a gentle, meandering path that invites a relaxing stroll down to the boardwalk and shoreline. There's ample room to grow and an easy layout for adding a garage down the road.
Like many of the lakes in this area, Lake Edward features a gradual shoreline with some natural weeds and reeds — but what lies beneath is a beautiful sandy bottom, perfect for wading and swimming. And for anglers, Lake Edward is a standout. It's well known across the region for its excellent multi-species fishing, with healthy populations of walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and perch — whether you're casting from the dock, trolling the weed lines, or drilling a hole for ice fishing come winter.
When the snow flies, miles of snowmobile trails are accessible right out your door, making this a true four-season retreat. And when you're ready to explore beyond the lake, you're just minutes from some of the most sought-after destinations in the Brainerd Lakes Area — Nisswa, Crosslake, Brainerd, and the Cuyuna Country Recreation Area. Whether it's shopping, dining, mountain biking, or simply exploring, there's no shortage of things to do and see, even on rainy days at the lake.
If you've been dreaming of a home on one of the area's most beloved lakes, this is the one. Schedule your private showing today.
