Property Description

As you wind down the long, tree-lined driveway, the world gets a little quieter. Towering trees give way to dappled sunlight, and at the end of the path stands a home with soul—the Shamineau Birdhouse, a year-round lake home that has been lovingly maintained and cherished by its longtime owners. Set on 1.16 private acres with 50 feet of shoreline along beautiful Shamineau Lake, this property feels like it was made for unplugging, unwinding, and reconnecting. Every detail reflects decades of care, pride, and preservation. Step inside, and you’ll immediately feel the warmth. The main level offers a sunlit eat-in kitchen, cozy living room with panoramic lake views, and two inviting bedrooms flanking a classic full bath. The home exudes character and comfort, seamlessly woven into its timeless cabin lake home style. Downstairs, the fully finished walkout lower level functions as an in-law suite studio—complete with its own kitchen, ¾ bath, or additional living space. Whether you're hosting guests, accommodating multigenerational living, or offering private quarters for renters or cherished guest, this setup adds exceptional value and flexibility. Use it for lake parties, holiday gatherings, or give everyone their own space and privacy with dual living areas. From here, you can access the attached garage or step out to the screened-in porch—a peaceful, shaded space to enjoy lake breezes, meals, or late-night board games. Outside, mature trees frame the home and yard, offering privacy and a deep connection to nature. A convenient lift to the water makes lake access easy, while the elevation enhances your privacy and lake views. And the 1-car garage is perfect for storing lake toys and gear. Just 25 minutes from Brainerd and two hours from the Twin Cities, the Shamineau Birdhouse is more than a lake home—it’s a place built on joy, connection, and quiet moments that last a lifetime. Come see what it feels like to arrive somewhere that’s been truly loved.
