Set along prime Highway 371 frontage in Backus, it offers the rare combination of comfortable living, business visibility, and easy access to the Northwoods lifestyle people come here looking for. The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, giving you a practical home base with everyday comfort. Just beyond it, the detached building adds an entirely different layer of opportunity with a showroom or studio-style apartment space, independent heating and cooling, and an attached one-car garage. Whether you envision a home business, vehicle sales, creative studio, office, guest space, hobby shop, or a place to showcase your work, this setup gives you room to make it happen. The Highway 371 frontage is a major asset. With strong visibility and steady traffic exposure, the property has previously worked wonderfully for selling vehicles, allowing the location itself to help do the marketing. For the right buyer, that kind of road presence is hard to recreate. And when the workday is done, the outdoors is close in every direction. Just 0.7 miles away, you'll find access to trail systems and over 20,000 combined acres of tax-forfeited and Foot Hills State Forest land for wheeling, hiking, hunting, exploring, and getting deep into the quieter rhythm of northern Minnesota. You are also close to several beloved local lakes, including Pine Mountain Lake, Sanborn Lake, and Big Portage Lake, giving you easy access to fishing, boating, paddling, swimming, and summer days on the water without having to give up the visibility and convenience of Highway 371. Live here. Work here. Launch something here. Spend the day on the lake, hit the trails by evening, then come home to a property that gives you room to breathe and room to build something of your own. More than a home with highway frontage, this is a flexible Northwoods basecamp with visibility, utility, and lifestyle built right in. ## Location - **Address:** 1547 State 371 NW, Backus, MN 56435 -
