Whispering Pines is a secluded home sub division meant to give the new owner all the joys of Rainy Lake living without the high cost of lakeshore acquisition and taxes. Whispering Pines is not on Rainy Lake but only 1/4 mile from a public boat launch. You get all the fun of Rainy Lake without the high carrying cost of lake shore, as well as the high maintenance of lake shore ownership dealing with high and low water levels, docks, and eroding shorelines.
If you plan to be a resident, you can keep your boat for the summer at a marina. If you’re a transient, you can keep your boat at your garage and 10 minutes down to the boat launch and you’re off. In either situation the tax savings on your non lakeshore property will more then pay for your marina slip or boat garage. Each of the nine lots range in size from 2 1/2 acres to 4 acres. They were all designed to allow road access and to maintain maximum privacy. Building foot prints will be surveyed once a building design is chosen and your exact building site is located.
Lots will be sold as first come first serve. Some parcels lend themselves to certain building designs and other sites lend themselves to other designs. A few lots have views of the lake. As of this writing, one lot has been sold with a view of the lake on June 20th, 2007, another non lake view lot has sold, and the other lake view is currently under contract.
A list of negative covenants accompanies the deed which spells out what you can build or do with your land. No pole barn buildings, no trailer houses, no cutting of trees outside of building envelope unless a hazard and so on.
There are walking trails within the 40 acre federal parcel that lies adjacent to the east of the sub division. There is a summer biking and walking trail at the access to Whispering Pines that also serves as a cross country ski trail in the winter. Tilson Bay ski trail is only 1/4 mile away. Whispering Pine’s access is right off Hwy 11 E 8 miles East of Int’l Falls.
Once all the lots are sold, there will be a home owners association organized to maintain roads and compliance procedures.
Once we have shown you the nine parcels and if you need more time to decide, we will give you a key for the gate so you can do your due diligence and decide on a parcel of your choice.
So, if you always wanted the beauty of Rainy Lake area without the high cost of shoreline ownership then Whispering Pines is a very affordable solution. Call us today for an appointment for viewing. We know of no other non lakeshore acreage that compares to the beauty of this land in the Rainy Lake Hwy 11 East area.
