Check out this phenomenal, quintessential Gunflint Trail estate, located on 4+ acres with 560 ft. of shoreline on Bearskin Lake AND frontage on the coveted Hungry Jack Lake. The original cabin consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, was built by Charlie Boostrom and is filled with custom made furnishings by local legend, Billy Needham. The cabin oozes charm with the full logs, massive rock fireplace, wood floors, attached porch and is finished off with a large deck, surrounded by beautiful trees. In 2005, the owner built the Carriage House, with 3 garage stalls and a beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a large deck overlooking the property. It is such an attractive space with cathedral ceilings, large windows, knotty pine woodwork throughout, a kitchen with tons of storage and a spacious great room complete with a gas fireplace. Additional buildings include an amazing screen porch overlooking the lake; the boat house, with 2 separate guest rooms; and a shower house, providing plenty of room for large groups. The property is stunning with a healthy mix of trees, including some majestic pine & white cedar trees and there are several walking trails. Across the lake is USFS land and on the south side, it is bordered by USFS land for added privacy. Bearskin provides some exceptional access points to the BWCA, as well as being located in the heart of the Gunflint Trail, minutes away from dining, hiking, biking, skiing and snowmobiling trails. It is basically being sold turn-key, including some canoes and a boat & motor and is truly a one of a kind property with boundless options due to having a total of 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Property has year round access, WIFI (perfect for working remotely) and all utilities, making it an exceptional property for a home, cabin or family retreat.
