Lake Miltona Homes for Sale

Named for Florence Miltona Roadruck, the wife of early pioneer Benjamin Franklin Roadruck who established a homestead in the area of Miltona Township, this lake is 5,724 acres in size, 105 feet deep at its deepest point, and features 17 miles of shoreline. Lake Miltona is located between Miltona and Leaf Valley Townships, with the city of Alexandria only 20 minutes away via MN-29 South. The area began growing when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act of 1862, allowing anyone who lived and tilled the land rights to ownership. This resulted in a surge of European settlers migrating to the area and staking their claims. Nevertheless, the Dakota War of 1862 erupted over European settlers breaching multiple treaties established by the United States government, causing many of the original settlers to flee the area, leaving many homes and businesses vacant. Over six years later, the Treaty of Laramie eased some of the tensions between the Dakota tribe and European settlers, allowing development to begin where it left off starting in the early 1870s. 

Even though much of this area remains untouched, Douglas County offers numerous indoor and outdoor activities for all age groups. Lake Miltona is home to a few lake resorts that offer residents and tourists the opportunity to rent jet skis, ski boats, flyer water jet packs, paddleboards, kayaks, and various other watercraft. In addition to that, there is horseback riding tours for all ages and skill levels, horse riding lessons, and tractor-drawn hayrides. Furthermore, there is around five large golf courses in the Alexandria area, one of which is Geneva Golf Club located at 4181 Geneva Golf Club Drive and features 27 holes, a golf academy, fine dining, and special membership offerings. Another thing that adds an alluring touch to owning property around the Lake Miltona area is being able to enjoy peaceful seclusion while also being within a stone’s throw of important amenities you expect to find in any normal American city.
