    Property Description

    Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind vintage property situated on the pristine shores of Lake Le Homme Dieu, just 2 miles from downtown Alexandria. This historic 1917 estate is listed on the National Historic Registry and offers a rare blend of timeless character, modern comfort, and unmatched lakeshore living. Set on 1.7 acres with over 125 ft of level lakefront, this iconic home spans +8000 sq ft & features 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a stunning 136 ft wraparound enclosed porch with panoramic views of the water. The grand circular driveway invites you to explore this landmark property, known as one of the few remaining "Jewels on the Lake." Inside, you'll find a gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining, complete with high-end appliances and generous counter space. Original craftsmanship and character are preserved throughout - high ceilings, rich millwork, and historic details evoke a sense of enduring quality rarely found today. Upstairs, private suites - each with ensuite baths provide serene views and generous space, while the lower level offers flexible living areas for relaxation, recreation, or hosting guests. Surrounded by mature trees and manicured lawns, this estate is an ideal retreat for those seeking peace, legacy, and connection to Minnesota's most treasured chain of lakes - all just two miles from the city of Alexandria. This property is a perfect family legacy estate, vacation home, or potential investment opportunity on one of Minnesota's most desirable lake chains.
