Description for 6781 Village Drive, Finland, MN, 55603 - Nine Mile

A rare opportunity to acquire a proven luxury short-term rental and legacy lakefront estate positioned in one of Northern Minnesota’s most desirable recreation markets near the North Shore and Lutsen. Following an exceptional 2026 winter season driven by snowmobile tourism and year-round destination demand, the property is already over 70% booked for the remainder of the 2026 calendar year across the existing rental cabins — showcasing the strength of the area’s tourism market and the increasing demand for luxury lodging inventory in this region.Due to active guest reservations and ongoing income-producing occupancy, showings for the rental cabins are by appointment only and subject to guest schedules. Buyers are encouraged to inquire regarding showing availability.Designed with both privacy and gathering in mind, the property offers an ideal setup for multi-family retreats, co-ownership opportunities, executive rentals, corporate retreats, or continued luxury vacation rental operations. Each of the three existing structures features its own unique layout, architectural character, and design aesthetic while still flowing cohesively together as a thoughtfully curated compound. This intentional approach creates a luxury hospitality feel while maximizing flexibility for both personal enjoyment and income generation.In addition to the two highly successful existing rental cabins, the owner’s current private residence offers substantial future upside as a potential third luxury rental accommodation. Unlike many expansion opportunities that require years of planning and infrastructure costs, this structure is already completed, fully functional, and positioned for relatively seamless conversion into an additional income-producing asset if desired.Future expansion opportunities are exceptionally rare in this area and include adjoining build-ready parcels already approved for commercial use. Existing conceptual plans allow for possibilities such as a restaurant/bar concept, boutique hotel suites, expanded lodging accommodations, or additional mixed-use development opportunities. Buyers may continue expanding the existing vision, create their own development concept, or potentially work with the current seller on future build completion opportunities if desired.Adding to the long-term value, the property benefits from grandfathered short-term rental positioning — a highly desirable and increasingly limited asset in many North Shore-area markets. Investors seeking premium inventory in a constrained supply market will immediately recognize the significance of this opportunity and the difficulty in recreating a property of this scale, flexibility, and location today.Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Superior National Forest, the setting offers exceptional wildlife viewing, including moose sightings, endless outdoor recreation, and truly jaw-dropping sunset lake views that simply cannot be recreated. Nearby restaurants, trails, snowmobile access, hiking, boating, and proximity to the North Shore lifestyle continue to drive strong year-round tourism demand and guest appeal.Constructed with luxury-grade materials, high-end craftsmanship, and timeless architectural design, the improvements were intentionally created to appeal to a broad luxury buyer profile while maintaining warmth, functionality, and durability. Major infrastructure components including septic systems, wells, and utility groundwork are already in place, significantly reducing future development costs and timelines. The additional lots are build-ready, creating immediate future upside without the typical development hurdles and infrastructure expenses.Whether envisioned as a luxury investment property, private family compound, hospitality venture, boutique resort concept, or multi-generational legacy estate, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to control premium waterfront acreage with both immediate income generation and substantial future ups
