High Ridge Maples in Lutsen bordering public land. Rolling, lofty, Northwoods between Deeryard and Bigsby Lakes. Potential views in fall and winter of Superior and Bigsby. 44 acres of wild country, yet only a short distance to Lutsen and the public landings for Deeryard and Ward Lakes. Year round access. Mixed age class forest, with many soaring, old maples and twisty, wizened cedars. Birds, fox, bears, marten, wolves: the whole gang is here! Fungi galore. Need firewood for the woodstove in your new getaway? The wind throws down a maple or two every year just waiting for your saw and maul. There is room here to roam, space to wander and wonder in. There is a secret thimbleberry patch to fill the jelly jars. Protective covenants of the Deeryard Homeowner’s Association are sensible. Hard to find this much good, dry upland in the Lutsen area. Come see it in the fall colors: mind blowing. Then winter when the views and sky come tumbling in. Spring is warblers and time to get your syrup operation up and running! Summer is cool, dreamy and quiet. Come on out and have a good walk, take a look at the many ideal cabin or house sites, and let the dream unfold into reality!
