Description of 7643 Bear Rd, Cushing, MN 56443
Listing details for 7643 Bear Rd, Cushing, MN 56443 : A truly unique Lake Alexander property offering privacy, acreage, extensive recent improvements, and exceptional recreational amenities. Built in 2009 by Gottwald Gwost, this four-bedroom, 2½-bath home sits on approximately 1.7 acres and has undergone extensive improvements from 2022–2026, including major updates to the home, detached garage, drainage, landscaping, concrete, utilities, and private lakeside area.
The home features a completely updated water system with a 220-foot well drilled by North Star Drilling in 2022, Kinetico water treatment system, filtered-water faucets, and exterior water service. A new heating and central air-conditioning system was installed in 2026, along with an air exchanger, additional in-floor heat, new ceiling fans, and updated lighting. Approximately 90% of the interior has been repainted, oak trim and doors refinished, and all carpeting replaced in 2026. Smart lighting, electronic keyless entry, security system, camera surveillance, and bronze-tinted front windows add comfort, convenience, and privacy.
The kitchen received extensive 2026 upgrades, including a 36-inch four-door refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, sink, disposal, built-in cup/glass washer, and filtered-water faucet. Lower-level bathrooms and the laundry room were remodeled, with new flooring, fixtures, washer, and gas dryer.
The detached garage has been completely reconstructed from the structure up. The floor was raised approximately five inches, with new concrete, epoxy flooring, drain tile, waterproofing, siding, Andersen windows, insulation, electrical, and a 9' x 16' insulated full-glass garage door with pull-down screen and bronze-tinted windows.
Above the garage is approximately 420 square feet of finished, heated and air-conditioned loft space with knotty-pine finishes, white steel ceiling, LED lighting, waterproof vinyl plank flooring, internet, and lake views. Ideal for an office, den, kids' hangout, or additional recreation space.
A comprehensive underground drainage system was installed around the home and garage, including screened gutters and downspouts connected to underground piping, drainage grates, surface drains, drain tile, and backup sump pump. Yard and driveway elevations were raised and low areas corrected.
The grounds have been substantially redesigned, graded, and landscaped. New stamped concrete patios and walkways, a paved driveway, screened pergola, raised 20-foot exposed aggregate fire-pit area, outdoor lighting, and extensive tree work create inviting outdoor living spaces while maintaining privacy. There are no immediate neighboring homes looking directly into the property.
The private lakeside recreation area is a standout feature, offering premium RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electrical service, underground water, 50-amp marina/dock power, fire pit, park-style grill, decorative lighting, professional landscaping, and private lakeside access. Approximately 120 feet of shoreline includes a DNR-permitted aquatic-plant removal area extending along the shoreline and dock area.
A like-new 120-foot Beach King aluminum dock extends into Lake Alexander and features a 16' x 16' aluminum platform with ladder, bench, kayak racks, maintenance-free decking, and illuminated steps. The lake bottom is sand and gravel, and the water is reported deep enough for a 5,000-pound boat on a lift.
This is far more than a lake home—a private, extensively improved retreat combining acreage, privacy, year-round living, boating, RV capability, exceptional outdoor entertaining, a finished recreational garage and loft, and approximately 120 feet of Lake Alexander shoreline.
