About this home
Your Lakefront Escape Awaits on Little Pequaywan Lake Tucked among towering pines on a private, no-public-access lake just 30 minutes from Duluth, this rare gem offers 200 feet of pristine shoreline and year-round serenity. The 3-bedroom home captures breathtaking lake views and features a cozy, original fieldstone fireplace that sets the perfect cabin-in-the-woods vibe. Step out to the spacious 12x22 screened porch or unwind on the deck just off the primary bedroom—both just steps from the water’s edge. The original boathouse has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming guest house, ideal for hosting friends and family. A heated, insulated 32x28 three-car garage offers space for toys and gear, plus there’s an extra 16x22 garage perfect for a workshop. Entertain with ease on the expansive concrete patio, launch your boat from your private access, and enjoy all four seasons of outdoor adventure—boating, swimming, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing on nearby groomed trails. This peaceful lakefront retreat is the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and rustic comfort—don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
