Great rustic cabin on 10.5 acres at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness!! This Fernberg Rd property is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast -- Easily accessible year-round and conveniently located partway between downtown Ely and Snowbank Lake, the true “end of the road”, with Fall, Garden (White Iron chain), Tofte, Ojibway, and Moose lakes along the way. The cozy, one room cabin has been wired for electricity to be powered by a small generator, and connects to a 20lb propane tank for the kitchen stove and additional/alternative lighting. Cabin is well insulated to enjoy year round with the wood stove for heat and comes complete with firepit, porta-potty, storage shed and most furnishings included. Continue to use the cabin as is or build your dream home in this beautiful setting -- Driveway is in, powerline is on site, building site cleared, and property backs up to thousands of acres of County/State/Federal land adjoining the BWCAW. Excellent property, a must see!
