Own nearly fifteen acres on the shores of Forest Lake and give every future homeowner a place on the water. The land naturally lays out for one generous lake-front homesite with about ninety feet of shoreline, plus two wooded upland sites on paved Iverson Avenue. The two non lake front home sites could include deeded lake access with a dedicated dock slip, so every household enjoys effortless boating and fishing. City sewer is already in the street, wells will need to be put in, and a certified wetland delineation report and map is in the supplements. Current zoning allows each house to add an attached accessory apartment for multigenerational living, guest space, or potential rental income. Keep the lake pad for yourself and sell the back lots, create a three-home family retreat, or develop the trio for resale. Opportunities with this much shoreline, privacy, and flexibility seldom reach the market. Bring your builder, walk the property, and imagine the possibilities.
