Your Private Lakefront Oasis – A Rare Slice of Heaven Tucked away at the very end of a dead-end road, surrounded by Minnesota Power and tax-forfeited lands, this property offers unparalleled privacy and an escape like no other. Imagine 195 feet of pristine sandy shoreline, breathtaking views, and not a neighbor in sight. This is the true Northwoods dream. The main cabin, thoughtfully constructed in the early 2000s, blends craftsmanship and comfort. Featuring Marvin windows throughout, 3/4” solid oak floors with in-floor heating, and a cozy gas fireplace, every detail was designed for year-round enjoyment. The massive primary bedroom offers space and serenity rarely found in cabin living. A unique touch—an elevator from the heated, oversized 2++ stall garage to the main level—adds both convenience and accessibility. Adjacent to the main home is a charming guest cabin, featuring its own cozy wood stove and a flexible layout ready for your finishing touches—ideal for guests, extended family, or even a short-term rental opportunity. If that’s not enough, the property includes a newer pole building with scissor trusses, offering exceptional clearance for RV storage, boats, or workshop space. Garage lovers—this one checks every box. A 64-foot artesian well provides crystal-clear water with incredible pressure and an endless supply. The lush, meticulously maintained gardens, mature apple trees, and thoughtful landscaping only add to the curb appeal and create a sense of pride in ownership. All of this serenity is conveniently located less than 30 minutes to Duluth, making it the perfect weekend escape or full-time residence. Properties like this simply do not come available often—a true once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most private and stunning parcels in the region. Your lakefront sanctuary awaits.
