Ode Circle, Browerville, MN 56438
A lot in Prairie River Heights, part of Sylvan Shores outside Browerville, with electric service in the area and a dirt lane along the west side. Ownership here comes with two private lakes, a clubhouse, a pool, and tennis courts for modest annual dues. If you've been meaning to build the house you actually retire in, this is a place where that plan has neighbors who did the same thing.
The Last House You Build Should Be Near Water
You've built for other people your whole working life, or paid for houses that were never quite yours, and the plan was always the same: one more, near a lake, on your own terms. The lakefront lots got away from that plan a long time ago. This one didn't.
It's a lot in Sylvan Shores with power running in the area, and the deed comes with the run of the place: two private lakes, a clubhouse, a pool, and tennis courts the association has kept up for fifty years. Mornings are a walk to the water, afternoons are whatever project the garage is holding, and the grandkids get a pool that isn't yours to clean.
You're about fifteen minutes from Browerville in Todd County, and half an hour from Little Falls, where Charles Lindbergh grew up on the Mississippi; his boyhood home is a state park now, which tells you how this part of Minnesota feels about people who leave and make good. Brainerd and Baxter are about forty-five minutes for the big-box run.
The trade is the rulebook, and it's a real one: Sylvan Shores wants a proper house, started with the board's blessing and finished on the outside within a year, and it does not allow camping or living in a trailer while you get there (which is why the place still looks like a neighborhood and not a storage yard).
A house is a house. A house where the lake knows your boat is a different kind of address.
Is this your kind of land
A site-built or modular home on a flat lot with access to private lakes, clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts in an established community.
Not a fit for RV living, tent camping, mobile or manufactured homes, or off-grid setups without permits. HOA covenants require a permanent structure of at least 600 square feet.

The record

Water: On-site: None. Options: Well or Haul. Would be a well, water haul and holding tank or other similar option
Sewer / septic: On-site: None. Options: Septic.
This is a build lot in a covenant community. Todd County zones it Shoreland Recreational Development Limited and issues the land use and septic permits, and the Sylvan Shores Association layers its covenants on top: one site-built or modular home of at least 600 square feet of living space, plans approved by the board before you start, exterior finished within a year, and a garage or boathouse only alongside the house. Power runs in the area, water is a permitted well, and sewer is a septic system with inside plumbing. There is no camping on the lot and no living in an RV or trailer while you build, so plan on staying in Browerville or the association's members' campground until the house is dried in.
