Description
Set along 300 feet of pristine shoreline on Upper Whitefish Lake, this extraordinary Northwoods estate encompasses 21.4 acres across two parcels, creating a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and legacy ownership on the Whitefish Chain. The primary homesite includes 3.73 acres on Upper Whitefish Lake, while an additional 17.67-acre parcel offers access to the Chain through Mud Lake.
Surrounded by towering pines and protected Northwoods beauty, the property offers a sense of seclusion seldom found on one of Minnesota's premier lake chains. Expansive lakeside decking, a dramatic three-season porch, and walls of windows capture breathtaking water views and create seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Designed for gathering, the home blends timeless lodge-inspired architecture with exceptional comfort. Warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, spacious living and family rooms, and a main-level primary suite with lake views create inviting spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.
Guests and extended family will appreciate the seasonal guest cabin, while the attached garage, detached three-car garage, workshop, and additional storage spaces provide ample room for vehicles, watercraft, hobbies, and recreational equipment.
Beyond its impressive acreage and shoreline, this estate offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, and permanence. Surrounded by towering pines and connected to the Whitefish Chain, it is a property designed to be treasured for generations.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is just OK. They spend money on sports and salaries. The facility is constantly upgraded while the bullying and student support decreases. The teachers scream for more money (while adequate teachers) aren’t producing positive productive students. In my opinion the school (while heralded as a great community champion), is like the town- run by people who like certain families (and their children.) If your child is on the fringes, they may or may not do week- it is literally a coin flip here. If you don’t mind gambling on your child and families future- this is a fine choice. I, personally, would look into private options or home school.Other Review1y ago - Pine River-Backus High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageParents BEWARE... I was a very active parent volunteer. The good: The school is a very nice updated & modern facility. The sports program all though limited is very good. Most teachers are mostly good to excellent in the elementary school (K-12 is all one building) The bad: Elementary school HAD some wonderful teachers & still have a handful of wonderful teachers. The principle is selectively getting rid of the (old school) teachers & bringing in her new (i mean fresh out of college) teachers strictly because of money & intimidation factor (opinion). Don't get me wrong, to bring in SOME inexperience teachers is good, but not all, I mean over 8 teachers in the past 2 yrs. in elementary alone. The new teacher s classrooms are very chaotic, no discipline. We are now classified as a Title I. Less than a handful of gifted student programs but plenty of money & programs for challenged children which isn't a terribly bad thing, but moneys should be better divided equally into multiple levels. Bullying is a problem. They talk the talk, but not walk the walk. Bottom line is if you have an average to above average child, please do your own research before you choose Pine River/Backus.Parent Review15y ago
