Description

Discover a rare, creative lakeshore opportunity on 6.23 acres with approximately 468 feet of frontage on Jack Lake, a designated natural environment lake, facing a county park access and otherwise undisturbed shoreline with no other improved properties in view, and abundant wildlife including deer, pheasant, and waterfowl for nature lovers and sportsmen. This flexible property is ideal for out-of-area and out-of-state buyers seeking a private country retreat, potential RV/campground concept, or nature-focused getaway with acreage they can customize and make their own. The home is served by a newer three-bedroom compliant septic system installed in 2025 and currently offers two three-quarter bathrooms, one on each level, supporting comfortable multi-level use. The main level includes an approximately 600 square foot sleeping area that can be divided into separate rooms, while the walkout lower level features an open floor plan leading to a large screened porch—ready for additional bedrooms, family room, bunk space, or hobby area. A full-length lakeside deck spans the upper level, capturing sunrises, sunsets, and long water views, and the home is equipped with a mini-split system for heating and air conditioning plus a vented propane heater for additional heat, extending the usable season for this lakeshore retreat. Outside, the property offers on-site RV parking and county zoning that allows it to be considered for development as an RV park, adding significant potential for an income-producing lakeshore RV resort, seasonal campground, or multi-RV family compound (subject to local approvals). Access is provided via a platted 50-foot driveway from the public road, giving clear legal access and ample room for vehicles, trailers, and RV traffic. Despite its quiet, private feel, the location remains very convenient: Worthington, with hospital/medical services, groceries, and broader shopping and dining, is approximately 20 minutes away by car and serves as the primary service hub. For regional metro access, Sioux Falls, South Dakota is roughly about an hour to an hour and a half away by car, offering a larger city, major healthcare, shopping, entertainment, and a commercial airport. The Okoboji Lakes area in Iowa is also about an hour to an hour and a half drive for boating, fishing, and resort amenities, while the southern Minneapolis–St. Paul metro and MSP International Airport are approximately 2.5 to 3 hours away by car—an attractive balance of secluded lakeshore acreage, wildlife, development potential, and reasonable access to major cities, airports, and services. Adjoining bare land may be available as first right of refusal to purchaser.
