Welcome to Belle River Lodge—an extraordinary sporting and luxury estate where exceptional craftsmanship, premier hunting habitat, and refined living come together on the Long Prairie River and nearly 375 breathtaking acres in the heart of Minnesota's Lakes Country, bordering over 700 acres of state managed wildlife areas. Designed for generations to gather, this custom-built 4,500± finished square foot lodge showcases soaring stained Douglas fir vaulted ceilings, walls of Anderson windows, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural stone gas fireplace that anchors the impressive great room. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into a chef's kitchen featuring Viking appliances, a professional gas range, microwave drawer, leathered granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island built for entertaining. The primary owner's suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a copper soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, private water closet with bidet, and an expansive walk-in closet. Five bedrooms and four baths comfortably accommodate family and guests, while the spacious loft with its own fireplace overlooks the great room and surrounding landscape. A deluxe bunk room makes hosting hunting parties, fishing groups, corporate retreats, or family gatherings effortless. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive concrete patio, hot tub, and panoramic views stretching across the estate. Built with both luxury and functionality in mind, the approximately 3,000-square-foot heated attached garage features in-floor heat, floor drains, multiple overhead doors, water, and electrical service—ideal for vehicles, boats, ATVs, and equipment. A massive 60' x 100' outbuilding offers exceptional space for storage, hobbies, equipment, or future possibilities. For the sportsman, Belle River Lodge is truly exceptional. Established food plots, strategically placed deer stands, mature timber, a stocked pond, clay pigeon shooting area, winding Long Prairie River frontage with a private beach, and outstanding wildlife habitat create a property designed for year-round recreation and unforgettable experiences. Also operates as a successful luxury short-term rental with outstanding guest reviews. Belle River Lodge offers future owners the opportunity to continue generating seasonal income or simply enjoy it as a private family estate. Properties of this caliber rarely become available. Whether your vision is a legacy sporting estate, luxury family retreat, executive getaway, or premier recreational investment, Belle River Lodge represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Central Minnesota's most remarkable properties. Belle River Lodge isn't simply a property—it's a place where traditions are built, stories are shared, and generations return.
