Yesterday I added a Smith Lake home to Alexandria, Minnesota's MLS. It is a two bedroom, one bathroom lake home that is ready for the summer. By that, I mean there really isn't anything to do but enjoy the lake and summer breezes. Below are two videos and a virtual walk-thru the home. If you aren't familiar with Smith Lake, the first video will give you a better feel for it. The second video will give you a better feel ...

Chippewa Trails is a homeowners association at Lake Ida in Alexandria on Wahtomin Trail NW. I was nearby it last Sunday and being that each year I receive inquiries about Chippewa Trails real estate I figured there might be someone out there that would be interested in seeing some shots from above and/or how Lake Ida is looking at the end of March in 2019. Chippewa Trails one of two associations in the Alexandria Area that has an in-ground pool ...

The view, for those wanting the ice and snow to leave, should be even better at Lake Darling today than in the photos below. Wednesday of this week I was at Baywood, Arrowwood's neighbor, to collect them. I have a listing that went on the market two weeks ago and there was a whole lot of white in the photos I took at the time of the listing ...

Maple Lake is nearby the southern business district of Alexandria. In the video embedded above (recorded in October) you will see a number of Maple Lake homes. They are located at the southeast and south end of the 830 acre lake. The video begins at the southern portion of Forada Beach Road (for those that are familiar, the start location is where Forada Beach Road is unpaved) and moves south and then west along South Maple Lake Road. All of ...

Late in October of this year I recorded the video below at Lake Le Homme Dieu. With November having been frigid, it seems like a long time ago. What you will see is the north shore of the lake and then pass over the Carlos-Le Homme Dieu channel into Lake Carlos. You will see some of the homes at the southeast end of Lake Carlos and then will head inland and back to the north end of Le Homme Dieu ...

Not the best blog post title. Kind of sounds like it might be a bad television series on one of the many obscure networks. But, that is what you will see in the video recorded on Friday, November 2, 2018 around 4:30 pm at Maple Lake. Your view will be from 200-300 feet above the lake and moving northward to Maple Spring Drive and then along Yanda Drive with the end being at the beginning of Forada Beach Road. On ...

Forada Beach Road has some of the best, if not the best, lakeshore at crystal clear (20.6 feet average water clarity per the MN DNR) Maple Lake. Yesterday I added a new listing to Alexandria's MLS for a lake property with 68 feet of level lakeshore and hard, sandy bottomed lake frontage at Forada Beach Road. If you watch the video you will be able to see what I am referring to. A couple of cool things about this property ...

At the northwest side of the largest lake in Douglas County, Lake Miltona, lies the homes and cottages of Riedel (pronounced "rye-dell" for the name of the family that platted it back in the 1950's) Beach Road and Riedel Beach Lane. The total distance of the two roads is less than 1/2 mile. Below is a video (safe for work...no sound) with an aerial view of the two that I recorded one week ago. Lake Miltona has over 17 miles ...
