This is that little slice of heaven on Island Lake you have always talked about! Resting in a deep cove facing the east, with 1.68 acres and 220 feet of shoreline, this special property offers serene silence and magnificent sunrises! The one bed, one bathroom home has an open floor plan with a four-season sunroom over looking the lake. A short hop, skip, and a jump, and you are entering the studio-guest house. This features the original cabin from over 60 years ago! Similarly to the main home, this space is well-insulated, and heated with electric baseboards and a wood burning stove. Just up the trail is the log cabin. Built about 15-20 years ago, and designed with vaulted cedar ceilings, pine floors, metal roofing, and a mighty view of your own land and the lake! Take it all in from the cabin porch with your morning coffee! No need to rush, the 2-car detached garage sits at the entry of the property, and it's only a 20 mile drive to Downtown Duluth! Book your showing now, and make this special place your own!
