Aitkin sits on the west side of Mille Lacs, the second-largest lake wholly inside Minnesota and the one the Twin Cities

Aitkin sits on the west side of Mille Lacs, the second-largest lake wholly inside Minnesota and the one the Twin Cities drive to when they want water without resort pricing. The Mille Lacs Arrow is a 1976 A-frame on 0.66 acres of that shoreline, split across two parcels.

The triangle is the original article — roof planes carried to the deck line, a glazed gable facing the lake, a dark metal roof, and a shed-roof wing off the flank. Inside is 906 square feet: knotty pine to the ridge, exposed beams, a fieldstone fireplace, and a loft railed over the great room. It is offered furnished.

The waterfront carries the price. A sandy bottom well out from shore, a dock, and a boathouse — and Mille Lacs shoreline rules make new boathouses effectively impossible, so that structure is not replaceable.

At $499,900 the house runs $552 a square foot against a $433,500 Zestimate. The premium is the frontage, not the floor area. Well and private septic; cooling is wall and window units only.
