Rare find! Log cabin on crystal clear Ojibway Lake +/- 15 miles east of Ely out the Fernberg Trail and near the BWCAW! Fully restored, one room vertical log cabin sits right near the shore of this jewel of a lake. Parcel has +/- 690 feet of gorgeous wilderness shoreline and 3.6 acres of privacy. Cabin is out on a point with southern exposure and unforgettable wilderness views. Property includes frontage in a quiet bay with a large dock and small boathouse, and on the main lake with big water views. Owner has also built a new driveway to a building site where a new home or cabin can be built in the future. Ojibway Lake offers miles of wilderness shoreline, great fishing, and access to Triangle Lake via a very cool roller portage where you can roll your fishing boat or canoe into another large island studded wilderness lake with great scenery and fishing!
