Just Listed!
Look at this lot – perfect elevation, perfect hard-sand beach! Great cabin on Roosevelt Lake (a 1500 acre lake). If you have been looking for an Outing MN lake home on Rossevelt Lake – this could be the one! Priced to sell at $299,000.
If you are looking for lake homes or land for sale – you know who to call! Have a great day!
I spent all of last week at the Hennepin County Courthouse on jury duty. I ended up on a jury for an aggravated robbery – and after a few days of testimony, and a few hours of deliberation, we found the defendant guilty as charged. It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be – its just not easy to hold someones freedom in your hands. I am happy it is over (but I am technically still on jury duty – but they gave me “call-in” status for this week).
Anyway…while I was away – we had a lot of great new listings come on line – so here they are…
This first property is stunning (as you can see by the pictures) – it is a Trade Lake WI Lake Home on Spirit Lake and it features 250 feet of sandy shoreline on 600 acre Spirit Lake. We have already had quite a few contacts on this one – so check it out before its gone!
—————
Next we have this absolutely stunning Crosslake area lake home on Lower Mission Lake. This property features a 100′ sand beach and is in turn-key condition.
—————
Next is this gorgeous Crosslake MN lake home – and it may look familiar to you. We had this property, along with an adjoining lake lot listed separately – but now the seller has combined the two listings to create one super listing. This great property now offers 4.5 acres and 500 feet of lakeshore for those of you looking for a little privacy.
—————
Next on my list is a very special lake place. This Eagle River WI lake home on Anvil Lake features 6 wooded acres and 230 feet of pristine frontage. Anvil lake is a beautiful lake in the midst of a National Forest. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 5,000 square feet – this is as good as it gets.
—————
Last, but certainly not least – we have a couple of great Northern MN lake lots! Priced very affordably – the first of two Iron Range lake property listings features 7.7 acres and 600 feet of lakeshore. The second property – also located in Makinen MN on Mud Hen Lake features 3.9 acres and 285 feet of lakeshore. These lots are priced at $114,500 and $84,500 respectively.
If you have any questions or comments – feel free to contact us – and as always, happy lake home hunting!
So one of my favorite blogs is slowly, but most likely, coming to an end. Found Read is/was a blog in the GigaOm network. It features/featured advice for Internet startups, by Internet startups. Unfortunately, the blog did not gain enough traffic in its 12 month run to remain a stand alone site – so Om has moved it to the mothership and is calling it a category.
The “category” has not been updated for a while (it was usually updated once a day) and I am guessing it will slowly fade into the rss graveyard.
It was one of my favorite reads and Im sad to see it go.
Every now and then I like to publish LakePlace.com statistics so our clients (and everyone else) can see the numbers. Most companies keep this information classified as “Top Secret” – but we don’t really see the point of that. We do like to keep some information confidential…but our web traffic does not fall into that category.
So – here is the pitch – if you are thinking about selling your lake property – and you can find another real estate company that can put your property in front of more MN/WI lake property buyers than LakePlace.com (no matter what they spend on advertising, no matter how many agents they have, no matter how long they have been in business) – GO WITH THEM!
LakePlace.com is able to offer sellers something no one else can offer – the largest group of buyers.

JUST LISTED!
Wow – a wonderful Side Lake MN log home for sale – priced at $625,000. If you are not familiar with this area – you really need to take a weekend to check it out. It is one of my favorite spots in all of Minnesota. McCarthy Beach State Park really does take you back in time. Old logging camps, huge pines and probably the best sand beach in Minnesota – the park is truly amazing.
This gorgeous lake home is a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from the state park. If you have been looking for something in this neck of the woods – this could be the one.
Check out the rest of the pictures and contact us with any questions – as always – happy lake home hunting!
We get a lot of emails – last year, 19,000 email requests went through LakePlace.com alone. When we see trends – we do our best to address them. One of the big advantages of real estate investing is the 1031 exchange which allows you to save thousands of dollars in capital gains – if you are interested in learning more – visit the forementioned articles on LakePlace.com (which were contributed by attorney Stacy Johnson of Heartland Exchange LLC – thanks Stacy!). When we launched LandBin.com – we immediately noticed a lot of people asking if a contract for deed was available on several properties – so we posted an indepth article on that subject as well.
If you have some interest in a subject – and you think there is a good chance that someone else out here in cyber space may have the same interest – shoot us an email and suggest the topic…we would love to hear from you!
Have a great weekend – and as always – happy lake home hunting!
So it has been about 2 months since we officially launched LandBin.com. For those of you who are not familiar with it – LandBin.com features the internets largest database of Minnesota land for sale and Wisconsin land for sale. Currently the site is displaying 49,000+ land, acreage, lots and farms for sale – with 246 new listings today!
Since the launch – over 100,000 people have visited LandBin.com and they have viewed 788,000+ pages. The record day so far is 6,367 visitors and 15,326 page views. So far, this month (as of 04/23/08) LandBin.com has had 58,017 visitors and 245,316 page views.
While the site is currently #1 on Y! for a couple of key phrases like mn land for sale & wi land for sale – we have not been seeing great results in The Big G…that is…until yesterday. Cameron and I were pleasantly surprised when we caught a glimpse of what could be the future. LandBin.com was ranked very highly on the Big G yesterday for some very competitive keywords and phrases. Although these rankings have disappeared for the time-being – we think we somehow ended up connecting to an updated G server and we are hoping (and keeping our fingers crossed) that those results are currently propagating through the massive system. Time will tell. If the results we found yesterday do happen to stick – it will be one of our greatest accomplishments since getting into the internet marketing business 10 years ago. It took years and years to get LakePlace.com to its current position – and if we cut out 4 years of heavy lifting with LandBin.com – we will be very pleased.
Land prices are going crazy right now – the demand is super high. The big players in the online land market (currently) are LandsofAmerica.com, LandandFarm.com & LandWatch.com – they are all great websites..but down the road, LandBin.com will display more land listings than all of these websites combined – which we believe will drive traffic and offer buyers and sellers the same advantage LakePlace.com currently offers.
If you plan to buy or sell land in the near future – we hope you will consider LandBin.com. Have a great day!
So yesterday I posted that LakePlace.com has taken some listings in a couple of new states. We listed some North Dakota lake properties and Michigan lake property for sale…so yes – we are finally expanding – but the beautiful thing is that the market made us do it (more on this later). Cameron and I have been very careful about growth. Growth is a great thing – but if it is not managed properly – it can be a disaster. The website is finally in a position where we feel we can start to move outside of the invisible borders of Minnesota & Wisconsin – and bring this little site we call LakePlace.com to new markets.
A world-wide audience.
While the vast majority of our current visitors come from the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, Chicago & Madison (in that order) – It is amazing to see how many visitors and emails come from around the world. Soldiers in Iraq planning a vacation when they return home (frequent), buyers in Dubai setting up appointments to view properties, etc…it is truly amazing to see the reach and potential of the internet and LakePlace.com.
The market made us do it.
We have a list of emails a mile long from cabin owners, vacationers, buyers and sellers that have requested we add additional markets. Most of these requests have come from Michigan. We listed a couple of Upper Peninsula (UP) lake properties late last fall – but we snuck them into our mix of Wisconsin lakeshore property listings. Yesterday we listed 15 Devils Lake ND lake property listings – a great development for those looking for excellent fishing at an affordable price. We added North Dakota lake property and UP lake property maps to our For Sale page – and we are now open for business in these states. In short – the market made us do it – the market demanded we spread our wings and we are excited and looking forward to working with an entirely new, additional group of great people!
For the record, we are now officially accepting real estate (waterfront, water view or deeded water access) listings in North Dakota and Michigan’s UP from this point forward and will be adding more listings soon. We plan to offer buyers, sellers, rental owners and vacationers the same great resources we currently offer in Minnesota & Wisconsin. We will be offering cabin rental and resort advertising in these markets. If you are a seller, agent, cabin rental owner, or resort owner/manager in Michigan or North Dakota – and you would like to team up with LakePlace.com (or if you have any questions) – please contact us online or give myself (Dave) a call at 612-366-4457 or my partner Cameron a call at 612-366-4454.
We look forward to working with you – and as always – happy lake home hunting!
Calling all serious Walleye Anglers! LakePlace.com just listed Devils Lake ND real estate – 15 lakefront lots on infamous Devils Lake in North Dakota – where WALLEYE SEASON NEVER CLOSES!
Devils Lake offers 122,000 acres of water with some of the best walleye fishing in the country (rated a top 10 walleye fishery by Field & Stream Magazine). These lots offer 100′ of lakeshore. Check out the listing to get a taste of the fishing (all walleyes pictured were caught at one of the lots on a single day – over a dozen 6 lbs and up.) Hunting is also awesome here!
Priced at only $99,900 – North Dakota is a great option for those who love the outdoors and love getting a bang for their buck! To schedule a showing – please use the contact form found at the bottom of the listing page.
As always, happy lake home hunting!
P.S. You may notice that we changed the maps on the LakePlace.com “For Sale” search page. You can now view our available North Dakota lake property & our Upper Peninsula lake property – we plan to add more listings soon!
New Listing! Take a look at this 2001 built Trade Lake WI lake home for sale – the property features 250′ of sandy shoreline on a great, spring-fed, 600 acre lake (Spirit Lake) in Burnett County. Offered by LakePlace.com at $399,900.
