This is the spot. Explore the lake and river from a home that's free of heavy shoreline pressure and activity like many other lakes. The home has been extensively updated to reflect a clean, modern interior while preserving the character expected in a true lake retreat. New flooring runs through the main living areas, complemented by updated windows that draw in natural light and frame the surrounding woods and water. The kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, new appliances, while fresh paint and updated lighting carry throughout the home. New central air system installed and new washer/dryer Aug 2026. A walkout lower level adds flexible living space, and the primary suite connects directly to the deck, creating a seamless transition to the outdoors and elevated lake views. The exterior continues to perform with a fenced yard, separate 3-stall and single-stall garages, and a series of recent improvements across all structures. A wooded roadway extends from the home down to the shoreline, where a new dock and boardwalk provide easy access to Lind Lake, which is well known for its fishing and fed directly by the Pine River. With a balance of privacy, usability, and updated features, this property presents a compelling opportunity for lakefront ownership in the Backus area. This home is offered fully furnished and is a successful VRBO. Future Equity: The lot comes with a separate tar driveway that goes down to Lindsey lake. The Elevation at the bottom of the driveway is a perfect gentle slope to the lake with an incredible view of Lindsey Lake. Excellent building site their provides potential to subdivide in the future. Administrative subdivision with approved plan would be available in 2030 or after. ## Location - **Address:** 3912 4th St NW, Backus, MN 56435 - **County:** Cass - **Coordinates:** 46.822121, -94.488427 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=46.822121,-94.488427 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://youtu.be/osEppYfnXYg ## Listing Agent - **Name:** James Flesch - **Brokerage:** Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Exclusive - **Phone:** 218-961-1200 - **Broker Phone:** 218-961-1200 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3912-4th-St-NW_Backus_MN_56435_M90339-49011?f=listhub&s=NYSMLS&m=11681973&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3683121104r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f93210457r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3663769148r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f366367251r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2216221987r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3749583918r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f379661429r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3845712473r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2018055821r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f803853998r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1000210802r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3645922533r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2827741514r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f310079532r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f4260473627r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2259011267r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2589055578r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2438677450r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2270937147r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2805252435r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f368975882r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2064943802r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f495343425r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1464628034r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1293468635r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f7526848r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1089862248r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f651461011r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1886220152r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f1225529643r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f3187135242r.jpg) ![3912 4th St NW - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bd24fd1d6f2a7f64e15268c31cd55264l-f2220994511r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 11681973 | **Updated:** 2026-09-17 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 My State MLS.
