A rare find! This 24' x 24' rustic cabin is located deep in the heart of the Bear Island State Forest aprox. 15 miles SW of Ely on 40 acres with aprox 440 feet of frontage on a small quiet clearwater unnamed lake. The rest of the lakeshore on this lake is owned by the State of Minnesota and the County. The property directly adjoins thousands of acres of State and County lands that are south of Bear Head Lake State Park. The cabin is located aprox 7 miles from a paved road and is accessed by gravel roads that are in decent shape, but it is a very remote area, with little or no road maintenance. The seller reports that the lake has a max. depth of 14 feet and the water is clear and swimmable! The cabin has a large room that houses the kitchen, living room and dining area and there are also 2 bedrooms. Great lake views from the cabin and large decks on 2 sides of the cabin. No power, no well, no septic--but a comfortable outhouse. There is a private gravel road network through much of the property. If you want privacy, acreage, and a lake, this may be for you!!
