Q[

As a company, there are a few things that we

believe

EDUCATION FIRST Our focus in every working relationship is on educating our buyers and sellers to the very best of our ability. If you are well educated, we believe you will feel comfortable with the sales process and be prepared to make the best decisions for yourself.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MATTERS We know the neighborhoods, woods, roads and water. How is the fishing? What length would the school bus ride be? Is this road

plowed in the winter? There are thousands of good questions. Your agent will have answers.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT We maintain strong relationships with service providers in our

area that you may need in your purchase or sale. This assures you

that you will have quality answers and solutions when questions or an unexpected problem arise.

TEAMWORK IS ESSENTIAL Our agents are independent, but are supported by the whole of the office. We believe that working together impacts our service in a

powerful way. When we help each other out, we are able to better serve our customers and clients.

NEGOTIATION IS KEY Putting an offer on the table as a buyer, or reviewing an offer that is being presented to you, is a pivotal moment in any search or

sale. Guidance that is clear, informative, and sincere is important.

Our agents will take you through each step with your best interest in mind.

WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY We are driven by creativity, excellence and innovation. Advertising should be smart and targeted. One checklist does not apply to all,

so expect a plan that is customized to your one-of-a-kind property!

Beware, we love to talk marketing!

THIS SHOULD BE FUN We don’t deny that buying and selling real estate can be among

the most important decisions you will make, but we hope it will be fun too. We are privileged to be your guide, and hope that in the end, it is a road you will be glad you traveled.

OUR ROOTS START HERE At the heart of who we are, and why we all love what we do, is the Annandale area itself. The Heart of the Lakes, as it has long been

called, is a wonderful lake country area that attracts young families and retirees. Many who once vacationed here now live here full time, and it’s no wonder why. It’s a charming small town with

great schools and endless recreation. It is important to us that

we surpass being just knowledgeable of the area, and that we also

provide you with service that goes above and beyond. As clients of ours, you will be treated like a neighbor... because you are. There

are a couple of things at the core of what “Seriously Local” means:

NICHE MARKETING Our focus is here. We know the local market, and its history,

extremely well. If you’re looking at property and want to know

specifics about fishing or a local school bus route, we have your

answers. If you’re selling, these are things your buyer will want to

know about too. As an independently-owned office, we make all of our own decisions, and at the heart of those decisions are what is best for serving our clients and the community.

LOCALLY-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY We won’t adopt a tool or system just to impress you, but we will

implement technology that makes sense for you as a buyer or seller. For that reason our web site, www.oakrealtymn.com, is useful

and full of local information. It offers quick links to area lakes, a

fantastic map search, and upcoming open house information. Our daily hot list is a favorite, and the only resource of its kind for immediate updates solely on the Heart of the Lakes market.

HEART FOR THE COMMUNITY This area is much more than the place we work. We are all active in the community, from various non-profit/civic groups to lake

associations, schools and churches. We love participating in local traditions like Annandale’s historic 4th of July parade, Maple

Lake St. Patrick's Day Parade, Clearwater Heritage Days Parade, Annandale Expo among many others. We also join in to support other surrounding communities in their celebrations as well.

Seriously Local

because we embrace the Heart of the Lakes

LAKE AUGUSTA

GRANITE LAKE

BASS LAKE

GRASS LAKE

A favorite fishing spot for a lot of the people who live on the Clearwater Lake chain. Consistently good, year after year on opening weekend. Lake Augusta is protected from high winds by steep banks on all sides of the lake. The warm river current brings in and holds the largest fish including; Sunfish, Crappies, Walleye’s and Northern. Lake Augusta is located 3 miles NW of Annandale and spans across 187 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 82 feet and 7 feet of water clarity.

Great lake for Bass & panfish like the name implies. Also, one of the clearest lakes in the area making it harder to fish on bright, sunny days. As for Walleyes...they are few and far between, but if you catch one, it’s going to be BIG! The Northern are also better than average; not always real big, but plenty of keepers can be had if you fish the right place...keep moving around! Bass Lake is located 4 miles N of Annandale and spans across 222 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 34 feet and 15 feet of water clarity.

LAKE BETSY

Like all lakes that connect by a river, there’s a good variety of game fish. The Walleyes are what bring most people to Lake Betsy. There’s not a lot of them, but what you catch will be big! Winter ice can come early to this lake, ice anglers start here and then move to other lakes as they freeze. Panfish is the normal species early anglers are after. Lake Betsy is located 3 miles S of Kimball and spans across 153 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 29 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

CAMP LAKE or LAKE HENRY

The “Old Timers” favorite lake when they want to catch a mess of fish. There is not a lot of competition from other anglers, just hungry locals. They say you can drop a line just about any place in the lake and catch a fish. Camp Lake warms quick in the spring, bringing the panfish into the shallows. You don’t need a big Bass boat, just bring a big fish basket. Camp Lake is located 8 miles S of Annandale and spans across 122 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 45 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

You’ll find good fishing on this lake but with limited access anglers have to get creative. Access is by the Clearwater River from Lake Augusta in a small boat or canoe. Some people float down from County Road 2 in kayaks and canoes, as there is no public access. There’s a good number of big Sunfish and Crappie year-round, and they don’t get over fished. Walleye and Northern come up the river in the spring and quite a few never go back down. The fish will stack up where the river flows in after spawning before slowly dispersing back down stream to Clearwater Lake. Lake Caroline is located 2 miles N of South Haven and spans across 135 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 45 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

LAKE JOHN

One of the first flour mills in the area was just off the North end of the lake on Cedar Creek around the 1800’s. Cedar Lake is deep at 108 feet but you don’t have to fish deep to find action. Use your locator and find a bump or a bar that leads away from the shore and you’ll find the fish. Some days the fish are in shallows, other days they are deep and close to a structure. Cedar Lake is located 3 miles E of Annandale and spans across 790 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 108 feet and 8 feet of water clarity.

This is the lake most people think of when you mention the town of Annandale, it’s been bringing people to the area since the 1880’s. Visitors would come by train and then take a horse and buggy to the resorts. Clearwater Lake is always a good fishing lake, but the structure will drive you crazy...bring the GPS so you can save the good spot for next year. The lake is split in the middle by a sand bar at the ‘Narrows’ and the West basin has every fish you can think of to catch. East basin has the deep bars and plenty of Walleye honey holes. If you find a map marked by an ‘Old Timer’ where to fish, hide it in your safe. Most of the landmarks on shore the old guys use are gone now, so remember to mark them on your GPS. Clearwater Lake is located 3 miles N of Annandale and spans across 3,186 acres. This Lake also has a max depth of 73 feet and 7.6 feet of water clarity on the East end and 9 feet on the West end.

This little lake is cherished by those that live there. With good water clarity, it’s great for swimming and fishing. A pontoon is the choice for most residents on Eagle Lake. Walleye are few but available to those that look. Northerns run small but there’s always a 30 incher or two caught every year. Sticking with panfish on this lake is a sure bet, and nice Bluegills can be found in the lily pads during the warmer months. Eagle Lake is located 7 miles NE of Maple Lake and spans across 190 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 38 feet and 10.6 feet of water clarity.

MARY LAKE

This gem of a lake is on the far side of Wright County and half the lake is in Meeker County, but the fish don’t know the difference and bite equally well any place on Lake Francis. Known locally for an abundance of small ‘hammer handle’ Northern, the lake is a sleeper for that occasional big Pike that will test the limit of any fishing gear. A large population of Largemouth and a few Smallmouth in Lake Francis can also drive you crazy. Did we mention the big Sunfish? Locals get real hush-hush when they start to bite, watch for the boats that don’t move! Lake Francis is located 2 miles NE of Kingston and spans across 1025.3 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 17 feet and 10 feet of water clarity.

MINK-SOMERS LAKE

FRENCH LAKE

MOOSE LAKE OR LAKE MOSES

On opening day this lake should be on your short list. The eagerness of Walleyes and Crappies biting will keep you busy, making French Lake an ideal lake for anglers. The lake is home to both the White & Black Crappies. While the Crappies may school close together, they spawn at slightly different times, so when one isn’t biting the other will. French Lake is located 4 miles SW of Annandale and spans across 346 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 50 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

Reclaimed back in 1994, the lake is making a great co landing providing information on what you can kee Perch?

MUD LAKE

Anglers rarely speak of this little lake, but it does offer some very nice Sunfish and Crappie. It’s always good to explore a different water now and then, and this one should be on your list. You won’t have much competition and you won’t need a big boat! Mud Lake is located 8 miles S of Annandale and spans across 57 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 65 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

OTTER LAKE

Known as ‘The Big Little Lake’ and the go to spot for big Northern Pike, it also offers a bit of everything. The deep water holds nice surprises, but getting there can be a trek. Otter Lake is connected to Clearwater Lake through a channel. Work the edges right up to the cattails and hold on tight! Otter Lake is located NW of Clearwater Lake and spans across 92 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 51 feet and 8 feet of water clarity.

PICKEREL LAKE

A hidden gem with only walk-in access. Pickerel Lake doesn’t have record size Sunfish but what is there, will always give you a meal. Protected on all sides by tall trees and steep hills from the high winds, the calm it provides will allow you to fish on the windiest days. Pickerel Lake is located W of Lake Sylvia and spans across 20 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 37 feet and 3 feet of water clarity.

PLEASANT LAKE

A personal all-time favorite during the winter or summer months. The West side of Pleasant Lake has some of the biggest Bass in the area. Make sure to use strong line and fish in the weeds, or if you’re adventuress, use a cane pole or drop a frog in a spot and give it a shake. There are numerous humps around the lake that hold Walleye, start on the top of the humps and work deep. If there is a West wind, work the bar by the North public access for Crappie or work the East and South side with a small Minnow.

Known for it’s city park on the South side and county park on the North side including; pavilions, picnic areas, fishing piers, launches and excellent sand beaches. Pleasant Lake is located in the city limits of Annandale and spans across 597 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 74 feet and 8 feet of water clarity.

RAMSEY LAKE

Don't be fooled. This lake is often overlooked by fishing enthusiasts because it is overshadowed by the lake that carries the towns name. Look at the DNR fish survey and you'll see that Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye are all in the upper size percentage as compared to other lakes in the area. That is why this lake has been the go-to lake. Remember, ‘weeds are your friend’! Ramsey Lake is located 1.5 miles S of Maple Lake and spans across 316 acres with 2.7 feet of water clarity.

ROCK LAKE

Hungry for a meal of fish, well...try Rock Lake! Winter anglers will hide the bucket if you ask them what they’re catching, normally all you hear is ‘a few’. This is a good panfish lake with some record class years finding plenty of 11” & 12” Crappies. Plan on launching the boat on your weekday off, you may have the lake to yourself, but don’t forget the big fish basket! Rock Lake is located 4 miles S of Maple Lake and spans across 183 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 37 feet and 3 feet of water clarity.

SILVER LAKE

Just on the South side of Silver Creek, this lake offers a little of everything. Some just fish from shore on the East side of Silver Lake by the Sportsman Club, Walleye and Northern being the main target. You may also find a Bullhead on your line, they taste great...keep them! Silver Lake is located 6 miles N of Maple Lake and spans across 82 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 42 feet and 4 feet of water clarity.

SUGAR LAKE

Known as the only state stocked Musky lake in the area, most anglers go after the big Crappie and Sunfish. Northern and Musky seem to follow the panfish, watch the depth finder and fish below the cloud of bait-fish. Most winter anglers target Walleye, find a ‘city’ of fish houses and ask, “what’s biting”.

In the summer, drift the many hot spots along the drop-offs. Sugar Lake is located 6 miles N of Maple Lake and spans across 1,015 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 69 feet and 9 feet of water clarity.

LAKE SYLVIA

The ‘Crown Jewel’ to many with a water clarity standard to which most other lakes are compared. It was once said there were hardly any Walleyes in Lake Sylvia, this was because of Fresh Water Herring in the lake with fantastic water clarity making them hard to find and get to bite. A decline of Herring in the 60’s has made ‘Big Eyes’ easier to find as long as you fish cloudy days, in the weeds, or at night. Every now and then you hear of someone that caught a big Northern with a funny color, you know it’s a descendant of private Musky stocking. Most anglers come back yearly for the super Sunfish and Crappie. Make no mistake, this lake is a favorite destination for many! Lake Sylvia is located 4 miles SW of Annandale and spans 1,573 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 97 feet and a whopping 21 feet of water clarity.

LAKE UNION

Travel to the West side of Wright County and you’ll find this little gem. Only parking for 2 vehicles at the access, so you will have to get there early! Out in front of the access is a good spot to troll, or use a slip bobber and you may find a nice Crappie or Sunfish nearby...take your time and work the area. Lake Union is located 8 miles SW of Annandale and spans across 93 acres. This lake also has a max depth of 35 feet and 5 feet of water clarity.

OUR HISTORY Founded in 1974, Oak Realty is the Annandale area’s oldest real estate brokerage. That year Don Bruggeman purchased and renamed what was Daryl Gunnerson Realty and our red and white leaf was born.

Oak Realty operated on Oak Avenue, Annandale’s Main Street, for many years, developing a reputation as a highly respected and professional real estate company serving the Annandale Area. Don’s son Steve joined the business in 1986 and the company continued to grow into the early 90’s.

In 1996, the company made a move from its location in downtown Annandale to a new, log-sided building on Highway 55, visible as you enter town from the East. Steve purchased the company in 2000, and with each passing year Oak Realty has continued to grow and succeed through an ever-changing market.
