About this home
Some lake homes are defined by the house. At 5488 Fairlawn Shores Trail, it is the entire property that sets this home apart.
Situated on .56 acres along Lower Prior Lake, the home is surrounded by mature trees, established gardens, stone paths, covered porches, and outdoor spaces that lead naturally toward the shoreline. The setting provides privacy, usable land, and a depth of character that is increasingly difficult to find on the lake.
That character dates back to 1872, when the original cottage was built by a Civil War veteran. Although the cottage is no longer standing, pieces of its history remain throughout the property. Stones from the original rock foundation were preserved and used to create the backyard fire pit. Redwood wall paneling from the cottage was incorporated into the current home. Photographs of the original cottage are displayed inside, along with the veteran’s preserved military pouch. Near the driveway, a streetlamp salvaged from London after World War II adds another unexpected piece of history.
The current traditional farmhouse style home was designed to respect what came before. The main level features a welcoming living room with a wood burning fireplace, custom built ins, and warm architectural details. The adjoining sunroom frames panoramic views of Lower Prior Lake, while the kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, and an open connection to the dining and living areas. Covered porches at the front of the home and along the lakeside create comfortable spaces for morning coffee, summer dinners, and evening views across the water.
Upstairs, the private primary suite captures elevated lake views and includes a spacious walk in closet and a bathroom with dual vanities and a tiled walk in shower. Additional bedrooms, well designed bathrooms, and upper level laundry provide a practical layout for family and guests.
The walkout lower level features a large family room and flexible finished spaces that can serve as an office, gym, hobby area, or accommodations for overnight visitors. It also provides direct access to the backyard and shoreline.
Outside, established gardens, a pergola covered patio, the historic stone fire pit, and multiple gathering areas allow the grounds to feel like a natural extension of the home. Positioned between the home and the water’s edge, the Lakeside Retreat features French doors, stained glass, a loft, and a private deck overlooking the lake.
The generous lot also provides long term flexibility to expand the home while preserving the property’s privacy and character. This lake property is not limited by its current footprint. It presents a rare opportunity to create a custom estate with multiple possibilities for future expansion.
5488 Fairlawn Shores Trail is more than a lake house. It is a home, a shoreline, and a piece of Lower Prior Lake history brought together in one remarkable property....
