Beautiful building site for your new home! 5.5 acres off of a paved road. Great location only 12 miles to Duluth and 16 miles to Two Harbors. Short distance down to Lake Superior where you can launch your boat in the McQuade Harbor, ride your bike along the scenic 61 or a nice walk. Brand new 390' driveway all ready to go! Pick your spot to build, there is level areas and also some nice inclines to build a walk out style home. There is a creek and is wooded with a nice variety of trees. There is a short distance shared driveway with neighbor and an easement in place. Two pink flags at the road to mark the North and South boundaries. The pink flag in driveway is approximate. At the end of the new driveway there is a trail with orange ribbons marking the lines to the back corners of the property. Both corners have survey stakes and monument pins.
