Description

This unique property features a stick built 3 bedroom, 1 bath main home, along with two additional guest cabins. Ideal for rental income, extended family, or a private retreat. The main house offers a cozy enclosed front porch, main floor living, wood floors and butcher block countertops in the kitchen. Set on a corner lot, there’s plenty of outdoor room for summer bonfires, gardening, or parking your RV, camper, or boat. The corner cabin has been completely remodeled inside and out, offering fresh finishes and a modern update. The second guest space is a 1-bedroom cabin complete with its own kitchen, living room, and full bath. Both cabins are approximately 400 square feet and offer excellent potential for short-term or long-term rental use. Zoned commercial with frontage on Aarwood Road and Rapid City Road, the property also holds strong investment value and other opportunities. Live in one home while generating income from the others, rent them all or do something completely new. Located just minutes from Torch Lake access and boat launches.
