Welcome, Buyers and Agents! Introducing a truly one-of-a-kind, off-grid retreat…perfect for your most discerning clients! This remarkable cabin is nestled on over 6 acres of serene wilderness, offering unparalleled privacy and world-class fishing right off your dock. Boasting 560 feet of Boundary Waters-esque lakeshore and unadulterated views of State Forest islands, no other cabins can be seen from this property. Featuring an off-grid solar system with new batteries (18 years of life), backed up by a 2200 watt generator and a 1500 watt inverter supplying plenty of 110 volt power for a modern oven/stove combo, toaster, vacuuming, wood working tools, etc. Eco-friendly water systems include a greywater septic system, gravity-fed shower, composting outhouse, and a wood-fired sauna. There's plenty of space on this property for the new owners to install a well/lake water system and a traditional septic system in the future, if desired. Also if desired, full electricity is located on neighboring lots for future hookup. Quality construction consisting of 2x6 framing in both the main and guest cabins, also both are fully insulated and vapor-barriered for year round comfort. The main cabin has both a wood stove and a propane furnace for heat, while the guest cabin is heated by a brand new Jotul wood stove. The new lakeshore sauna is lined with old growth Ponderosa Pine salvaged from a local dairy barn and is heated with a Kuuma wood stove manufactured by Lamppa Mfg in Tower, MN. The prismatic effect of the antique leaded-glass window installed between the changing room and the hot room disperses the soft glow of the lanterns into beautiful shades of blue, green, yellow, and red. This property is a true gem for those seeking off-the-grid living at its finest with walking trails, bountiful wild berries, and breathtaking views both day and night
