About this home
Public Remarks: Besides the 2 bedroom, 1 bath main cottage, there is a guest house with a bath and a 2-car garage. The "clincher:" this Lake Superior lake shore parcel is absolutely breathtaking and is located as your gateway to the Apostle Islands! The views are amazing and the spectacular, park-like grounds include mature maples, oaks, and conifers. Stairs to a dock that serves up even more views of the Islands and the perfect place to launch your kayak. Owned by one family 45 years and now is the time for your golden opportunity to own a very special parcel and 23 acres of it!
