Just a stone throw southwest of Alexandria's Lake Mary is the north end of 263 acre Pocket Lake. I was at Pocket last week and took a few photos from the air. Most of the Pocket Lake homes are at the west/southwest and south end of the lake. So, a pretty quiet setting for the people that own a property at Pocket or make use of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Access at the south end of the ...

The real estate market in Alexandria takes a breather in the fall but what a great place it is to have that breather. The number of new and 'pending' (under contract but the closing hasn't been completed yet) slows and for that reason, it still is a good time for a new listing. Having fewer new listings means that your property will possibly stand out more than it would during busier times of the year such as spring. Ofcourse a ...

With the addition of a DJI Spark to my UAV fleet (if a fleet qualifies as two, I have a fleet) it has become much easier for me to capture aerial photos and videos. It is so small that I can put it in the glove box of my car and can be up in the air in very quickly. My larger DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is the UAV I use for aerial photos and videos of properties but the ...

Today I shared this photo on Instagram of Blakes by the Lakes. Blakes not only has frontage on Carlos but also has some across Nokomis on Lake Le Hommme Dieu. Pretty cool.

From Blakes it isn't that long of a walk to places such as Sunny's, Interlachen Inn and Bugaboo Bay ...

Hermosa in Spanish means 'beautiful', es hermosa equals "it is beautiful". As you will see in the aerial photo I took earlier this week, Lake Miltona's Hermosa Beach Road is indeed beautiful. Like other locations at lakes in the Alexandria area where beautiful is one of the first adjectives that comes to mind when asked to describe it, it is pretty rare that real estate is offered for sale. Currently there are no Hermosa Beach Road properties for sale. The ...

Lake Brophy is the westernmost lake in Alexandria's Chain of Lakes (The order...Brophy > North Union > Stony > Taylor > Cowdry > Darling > Carlos > Le Homme Dieu > Geneva > Victoria > Jessie).

Last Saturday I was chatting with a client of mine that owns a second home at Lake Victoria prior to heading out for a tour with him of the lake via Stand Up Paddleboard and he asked about some of the videos I have recorded with my quadricopter. It happen to be in my trunk so I was more than happy to give him a demonstration. In the video below you will have an eastern view across Lake Victoria and ...
