Not every lake earns its reputation, but Big Stony does. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath year-round home sits on 114 feet of hard-bottom, East-facing shoreline on one of the Northwoods’ premier all-sports lakes – a private acre along a quiet dead-end road, just 10 minutes from Park Rapids. At 343 acres with 9-foot water clarity, Big Stony offers exceptional fishing for walleye, bass, and panfish, and all the room you need for boating and water activities you enjoy. Your private dock is included and the shoreline is waiting for you to enjoy this swimming season. Inside, over 2,500 sq. ft. of quality construction is designed to live as well as it looks. The open main level connects kitchen, dining, and living seamlessly, anchored by knotty pine and floor-to-ceiling lake-facing windows. The kitchen features granite countertops, hickory cabinetry, a stone backsplash, stainless appliances, and a large island. A lake-facing wet bar sitting area with vaulted ceilings and a three-season porch keep the water front and center, while a fireplace and in-floor heat make every season comfortable. The main-level primary suite is built for rest — soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual granite vanities, vaulted ceilings, and a walk-in closet. Main floor laundry adds everyday convenience. Three additional bedrooms and a reading nook are upstairs. The finished lower level adds a family room, flex space/office, and a ¾ bath. Two-car detached garage included. New upper-level ceilings and attic insulation recently completed. The Park Rapids area has plenty to offer beyond the water — hiking, walking trails, and abundant outdoor activities are all close by, along with a public boat launch, restaurants, and groceries within ten minutes. This is not a cabin. It is a well-built, move-in-ready lake home on one of the best lakes in the region — the water views alone are worth the trip.
