Great location for a northern getaway, located halfway between Ely and the North Shore. Insulated two story garage with living quaters above, offers plenty of room to store snowmobiles, atvs, and boats, with plenty of room for a separate workshop in the rear. The second story of the garage is a semi-finished apartment with a full bath, kitchen, and two bedrooms. There is also a covered 12x 34 ft porch off the apartment, which could easily be insulated to increase the living area. Also on the property is a square hewn log cabin with a loft, one of the oldest buildings in the area, it was originally built as a small general store for the logging camps around Isabella. It is a remodel in progress with water, sewage and electric run to it. There is a separate insulated/heated building formerly used as a greenhouse, that would make a nice little studio, or bunk cabin. Very easy access to snowmobile/atv trails. Surrounded by National Forest on all sides with many lakes in the area.

Great location for a northern getaway, located halfway between Ely and the North Shore. Insulated two story garage with living quarters above, offers plenty of room to store snowmobiles, atvs, and boats, while still leaving plenty of room for a separate workshop in the rear. The second story of the garage is a finished apartment with a full bath, kitchen, and two bedrooms. There is also a covered 12 x 34 ft porch off the apartment, which could easily be insulated to increase the living area. Also on the property is a square hewn log cabin with a loft, one of the oldest buildings in the area, it was originally built as a small general store for the logging camps around Isabella. It is a remodel in progress with water, sewage and electric run to it. There is a separate insulated/heated building formerly used as a greenhouse, that would make a nice little studio, or bunk cabin. Very easy access to snowmobile/atv trails. Surrounded by National Forest on all sides, with many lakes in the area, plenty of opportunities for recreation! A fixer upper with a ton of potential! Drilled well and compliant septic system.
