2967 Diamond Crest NE Road, Longville, MN 56655

This is one of those properties where the setting tells the story before you ever step inside. At the end of the road on Wabedo Lake, 8.38 acres spread across three parcels with approximately 850 feet of shoreline create an unusually private setting with nature’s beauty everywhere you look. On one side is Wabedo Lake, while the other overlooks a beautiful environmental lake left largely untouched, an ideal backdrop for watching birds and wildlife. The way the home rests on the land gives it a peninsula-like feel, with water views appearing again and again through the windows. Wabedo and Little Boy Lakes connect and are well known for excellent fishing. The owner has plenty of walleye stories to prove it. When water levels cooperate, take a memorable detour into the lake locally known as Lake Louise, or “Unknown.” Clear and virtually weed-free, it’s a favorite place to anchor the pontoon, swim, float and simply enjoy the water. The wooded drive in sets the tone, leading to a 3-bedroom, 2-bath full-log home filled with distinctive craftsmanship and natural materials. Inside, soaring wood ceilings, substantial exposed log beams, log railings and a striking whole-log staircase give the home tremendous character. The main level brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together beneath the vaulted ceiling, with a wood-burning stove surrounded by stone adding to the atmosphere. Windows throughout keep the surrounding water and woods constantly in view. The kitchen carries the same personality with wood cabinetry, stone accents, an island with seating and an eye-catching vintage-style range. A main-level bedroom enjoys beautiful views toward the environmental lake, and the full bath features a clawfoot tub. Upstairs, the open loft overlooks the living area and provides the home’s second bedroom with plenty of room for sleeping space as well as a desk or sitting area. The walkout lower level adds the third bedroom, a spacious laundry room with storage and a 3/4 bath featuring a stone and tiled walk-in shower with a pebble-stone floor, vessel sink, wood vanity and sliding barn-style door. Outdoor living is a big part of the experience here. Two deck/porch areas on opposite sides of the home offer different ways to enjoy the surroundings, including a partially covered area where you can choose shade beneath the roof or move into the sun. Near the lower-level walkout is a portico, along with a small garage/storage area, ideal for a mower, yard equipment and lake gear. Walking trails invite you to explore the three parcels, where mature woods, birds and wildlife surround you and the sounds of nature take over. With 8.38 acres, approximately 850 feet of shoreline, remarkable water views and true end-of-the-road privacy, this is far more than a lake home. This is a place where nature takes center stage and fishing, wildlife, boating and the landscape become part of everyday life.
