Rarely does a property come available that combines premier lakefront living, proven hunting history, complete privacy, and a newly constructed home all in one package. Located in Polk County near Fertile, Minnesota, this exceptional 20-acre property on Maltrud Lake offers a true turnkey opportunity for the outdoor enthusiast seeking year-round recreation, relaxation, and comfortable modern living. Built in the fall of 2024, the 30x70 slab-on-grade home was thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance living and maximum comfort. The home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms with in-floor heat throughout, creating an efficient and comfortable atmosphere during every season. Spray foam insulation, central air conditioning, a heat pump system, LED lighting, and a tankless on-demand water heater all contribute to the home’s energy efficiency and modern functionality.
Inside, the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area creates an inviting space for entertaining family and guests after a day outdoors. Vaulted ceilings, custom woodwork, and an electric fireplace add warmth and character throughout the home. Most furnishings are included, down to the dishes and kitchen utensils, allowing the new owner to move right in and immediately enjoy the property. All appliances will remain with the home, and high-speed internet is already connected for those working remotely or staying connected year-round.
The attached heated two-stall garage doubles as an outstanding entertainment area complete with a full bar setup and included 20-gun Browning safe. A screened garage setup helps maximize enjoyment during buggy seasons, while the outdoor patio fan assists in keeping insects at bay during summer evenings. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard features a large paver patio, flower beds, lakeside fire pit area, and beautiful views overlooking Maltrud Lake. There is a full camper hookup on the south side of the house and generator hook up from back up capabilities.
For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, this property delivers exceptional opportunities. Established food plots planted in chicory, clover, and alfalfa are already in place alongside elevated insulated hunting blinds. The area has a strong history of trophy whitetail bucks, black bears, turkey, and abundant waterfowl activity. Maltrud Lake is widely recognized locally for attracting large numbers of migrating ducks and geese, offering outstanding waterfowl hunting right from your own shoreline. With approximately 900 feet of private lakeshore and no public access on the lake, you can enjoy peaceful days on the water with very limited outside pressure.
The lake itself spans approximately 120 acres with depths around 8 feet, making it ideal for waterfowl hunting, kayaking, paddle boating, and leisurely pontoon rides. The property also includes a private boat landing, dock, and paddle boats. Whether enjoying a quiet sunset cruise, fishing, scouting ducks, or simply relaxing at the water’s edge, the setting offers an unmatched level of privacy and tranquility.
Additional outdoor improvements include a private driveway, cleared building area for a future pole barn, shop, or guest cabin, and a power line easement area that could be utilized for larger food plots or gardening projects. The level lot allows for easy lake access with no steps to the water, making the shoreline easily accessible for all ages.
One of the property’s greatest advantages is its location near hundreds of acres of public hunting land while still maintaining complete seclusion. Union Lake public access is located less than three miles away, giving owners convenient access to additional recreational opportunities throughout the Union Lake and Maple Lake area. Despite the secluded setting, the property remains within easy driving distance to nearby communities including Grand Forks, and Fargo-Moorhead.
Whether you are searching for a private hunting retreat or year round lake home, this one checks alot of boxes
