For about $1 million, you can get a taste of Lake Wobegon on the St. Croix River.
Garrison Keillor has put his 11.5-acre riverfront property in Pierce County, Wis., up for sale.
Complete with 460 feet of shoreline and clay tennis courts, the two-parcel property features four dwellings: a nearly 1,900-square-foot log home, a log guest home, a studio and a detached office.
"It's in the woods - it feels like a hamlet," said Joyce Peterson, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Burnet.
The office, which, Peterson called "a writer's cottage," was where Keillor wrote the novel "Wobegon Boy," she said.
The main home has two bedrooms and one bath. The guest home adds another bedroom.

I agree, his program used to very funny. I think basically Keillor has run out of funny material. He's exhausted it all. I remember getting bad vibes about him about twenty years ago when during an interview with some Minn reporter, he went off on a crazy tangent condemning every Republican as a small-minded fascist. I was still a Dem at the time, but I was stunned. Where was the gentle humorist the media had led us to believe was Garrison Keillor? Now I call him Garrulous Squealer. Like many libs in the media, he thinks he's smarter than he actually is. And the real GK is indeed a very bitter person with a real dark side.
Old Garrison is living at Lake Brainbegone now.
