About this home

A River Runs Through It!! Truly a one-of-a kind property where you’ll listen to the Flute Reed River from your log cabin perched above this designated trout stream. The Flute Reed River flows over 1,480 feet through the center of this 82 acres of pristine forest and meadows, originally homesteaded for 13 years. While staying true to the character of this off-grid lifestyle, the well-built 2 bedroom, 700 sq. foot log cabin has a metal roof, double pane screened windows, is wired throughout via solar-powered electricity, kitchen with propane stove and refrigerator, a newer direct vent propane furnace as well as a quality wood stove for heating. Good-sized bedrooms upstairs boast extra-large closets for storage. Known for great deer hunting opportunities, this unique property is easily accessed year around. Located on North Road in Hovland, less than five minutes from the beautiful shores of Lake Superior and a short 20-minute drive to Grand Marais.

Log Homestead on the Flute Reed River. This charming off-grid log cabin sits perched above the river with outstanding views. The 2 bedroom cabin is primitive, but very livable with many updates and improvements. The 80 acres of land is beautiful and private with a long winding driveway and great seclusion. There are some old meadows where the original homesteader kept his horses. Good trails and access to adjoining public lands; even distant views of Lake Superior. It comes furnished and ready to go. The current owner has loved and cared for the property for 20 years, adopting it from the original homesteader. It's a true wilderness retreat. You'll fall in love on the drive in and never want to leave.
