Looking for a rustic Northwoods retreat with room to make it your own? This unique 2-bedroom cabin sits on 4.61 heavily wooded acres in the Merrifield area of the Brainerd Lakes Area, directly across County Road 19 from beautiful Upper Mission Lake. Built in 1970, the approximately 1,200-square-foot, two-story cabin offers plenty of character along with exciting fixer-upper potential. The main level includes two bedrooms and a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove/oven and sink. A 60-foot well supplies running water to the kitchen sink as well as an exterior yard spigot. One of the cabin’s most distinctive features is the spacious 20' x 20' upper-level great room, accessed by an exterior stairway—an inviting space with possibilities for recreation, gathering, hobbies or additional sleeping space. The property is surrounded by mature trees, creating a private, wooded setting with room for additional structures or future improvements. Two storage sheds provide extra space for tools, outdoor equipment and recreational gear. The cabin has 100-amp electrical service and a natural gas space heater; functionality of the heater is unknown. There is currently no septic system, and the property utilizes an outhouse. Conveniently located on paved, year-round maintained County Road 19, this property offers an appealing opportunity for someone searching for a recreational cabin, wooded acreage near the lakes, or a renovation project with plenty of possibilities.
