Situated on approximately 5.5 acres with 325 feet of pristine, level, sandy shoreline, Whispering Pines Resort has been welcoming guests for decades and offers an exceptional combination of proven income, outstanding amenities, and future upside. There are 29 bedrooms, that sleep close to 90 total people. For the past 25 years, Whispering Pines has been cherished and meticulously maintained by four family owners and they have enjoyed not only the financial benefits of the resort, but the priceless memories created with family, friends, and generations of returning guests. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, as properties offering both a treasured family legacy and established income-producing potential are seldom passed from one family to another. The property features 12 updated fully furnished cabins, including three newer log homes, 14 licensed RV sites, with six separately platted parcels ranging from approximately 0.85 to 0.99 acres, creating flexibility and long-term value rarely found in resort properties. Guests enjoy everything that makes a classic Minnesota lake vacation unforgettable, including a beautiful sandy swimming beach, beach volleyball court, three docks with boat slips, playground, fish cleaning house, traditional sauna, game room, and an on-site gift and bait shop. An owner/manager residence is located on the property, allowing for convenient year-round management and operation. Ownership has made substantial capital improvements, including a new $250,000 septic system and drain field, providing peace of mind for years to come. Whether you’re looking to continue operating a successful, turnkey resort, expand the existing business, or simply invest in one of the finest lakefront properties in the Perham Lakes Area, Whispering Pines presents an exceptional opportunity. Properties offering this combination of acreage, level sandy shoreline, established income, and development flexibility rarely become available.
