Private. Pristine. Unrepeatable. A legacy estate on Pequaywan Lake. Positioned at the tip of a peninsula with nearly 800 feet of shoreline, this 4BR/4BA, 16 room home offers big water views, seclusion, endless sunrises & sunsets from three docks, rocky shores and your own sandy beach. At the end of a paved & plowed road with no through traffic—this year round estate provides a rare combination of access and seclusion roughly 25 miles north of Canal Park in Duluth on private Pequaywan Lake with no public access. The home is designed for year-round living and energy efficiency, with geothermal heating, induction cooking and thoughtful material choices throughout. Inside, you'll find vaulted 14' ceilings, post and beam style construction, expansive windows, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, stone counters and tongue-and-groove woodwork. The home includes two primary suites, open flexible gathering spaces all anchored by lake views. A walk-out lower level includes a game room/bar, bunk room with egress, and spaces currently used as a gym and an office. Outdoors you'll enjoy expansive wraparound decks, a covered front porch as well as multiple outdoor seating areas designed to follow the sun and shift with the seasons. The setting includes over 1/2 mile of trails, birch, fir, spruce and pine as well as 200 newly planted trees, native wildflowers including your own patch of pink ladyslippers! Extras include: 3 car log garage with attic with new steel garage doors, wiring for a hot tub in place, generator hook-up, new roof in 2022, new Geothermal internal HVAC with balance of transferable warranty (2020), garden spaces, two laundry rooms, and plenty of parking for all the toys. Lower level is easily separated into its own space.
