Build your vision on this roughly 0.78 acre lot on Howard Gnesen Rd, right across the street from Homecroft Elementary School, with Ridgeview Golf Course just down the road. The parcel measures about 103.75 x 326.84 feet, a deep lot with room for a home, a shop and a private backyard, and part of a pond sits on the property. Rice Lake Township says this is a non-conforming buildable lot, as long as the required setbacks are met. The parcel is being separated from 4773 Howard Gnesen Rd through an Administrative Land Split. Enjoy quick access to Duluth shopping and services in a quieter, more rural setting. Buyers should check zoning, setbacks, utilities and permits with Rice Lake Township.
Rural Duluth, located between the St. Louis River estuary and the North Shore highlands, is a wooded and lakeside Duluth neighborhood with gravel backroads and wide-open trail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Martin Road corridor near the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area, where ski runs, bike trails, and a low-key lodge scene set the pace. Spirit Mountain anchors four-season recreation, while Mont du Lac Recreation adds another slope-side hub just west of town. Homes range from cabins and contemporary builds to older farmsteads, often set back behind pines and rock outcrops. Jay Cooke State Park and the Munger Trail bring long, scenic miles for hiking, biking, and snow sports. Daily errands point toward Duluth proper, while the landscape stays defined by ridgelines, creeks, and big sky.
