The hard work has already been done! A private 4" drilled well, building pad, 2 bedroom compliant mound septic system, and electrical service are already installed, making this property ready for immediate recreational use or your future building plans. A dock and steps provide convenient access to the shoreline, while a professionally built-up building pad is ready for your future lake home and garage. A spacious deck overlooking the water creates an inviting outdoor living area and the perfect place to relax, entertain, and take in the panoramic lake views and spectacular sunsets. For buyers looking for a turnkey recreational setup, the existing 2019 Keystone Springdale 40' destination camper is available for purchase separately. The camper features a private bedroom, sleeping accommodations for up to eight, and a large awning that complements the outdoor living space. Camper is not included in the real estate sale and may be purchased separately by mutual agreement. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a seasonal retreat, or the ideal setting to build your forever lake home, this property offers an exceptional combination of existing infrastructure, beautiful lake frontage, and future potential. Improved lake lots with this level of infrastructure, exceptional views, and build-ready features are increasingly difficult to find. Start enjoying lake life from day one while planning for everything tomorrow has to offer. ## Location - **Address:** 1664 20th Street NW, Backus, MN 56435 - **County:** Cass - **Coordinates:** 46.87909235, -94.36491479 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=46.87909235,-94.36491479 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Marty G Ringham - **Brokerage:** Countryside Realty - **Broker Phone:** (320) 980-4029 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1664-20th-Ave-NW_Backus_MN_56435_M94864-20373?f=listhub&s=RMLSMN&m=7103624&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1302742065r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f351155740r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f684700347r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1266929948r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1920846479r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f935438241r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1308675642r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1719023086r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f3897381762r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2983060364r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2893874783r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f3096884501r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1987742770r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f593207466r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2867135391r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f556418306r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f3823669383r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2288313742r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1237205216r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f434131772r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f405751023r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f4150230323r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2880569628r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f1289713400r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2442267160r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f686599685r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f2328485644r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f3715045084r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f23468170r.jpg) ![1664 20th Street NW - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f660ab96dff98c51e4a2ee1d6eaf7b30l-f598056005r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 7103624 | **Updated:** 2026-10-20 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Northstar MLS.
