Escape to the woods without giving up the convenience of being in the heart of Lutsen. Tucked away on 5 private acres off Steam Engine Road, this 20-foot yurt offers a unique North Shore getaway that feels wonderfully off the beaten path while keeping you close to everything that makes Lutsen such a special place. The property is set among the trees and offers a peaceful, secluded setting with plenty of room to explore, relax around a fire, or simply enjoy the quiet. The yurt provides a comfortable home base for your North Shore adventures, and an onsite outhouse with a composting toilet adds to the simple, off-grid experience. From here, you're just minutes from skiing and year-round recreation at Lutsen Mountains, hiking and biking trails, Superior National Forest, Lake Superior, restaurants, golf, and all the shops and attractions along the North Shore. Head into Grand Marais for the day or stay close to home and enjoy everything Lutsen has to offer. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, recreational property, or a place to enjoy now while dreaming up future plans for the acreage, this is a rare opportunity to own 5 acres in an incredibly convenient Lutsen location with the privacy and Northwoods feel you'd expect to travel much farther to find.
Boreal forest with season stream running through, high ground overall with a nice knob build site on the lower side of the stream, mid way through the 5 acre parcel. Year round access, great site to build your little cabin that you can build on as you become more established in Lutsen. Great recreational site, nearby the local snowmobile trail. Walk to "downtown" Lutsen, drive just a minute down the road to Lutsen Mountain's Ski Resort. Worth a look if you LOVE Lutsen!
