A Rustic Retreat with Modern Comforts: Tucked against the pristine wilderness of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom walkout home is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. Originally built in the 1960s, it retains its original tongue-and-groove craftsmanship and beautifully crafted ceilings, complemented by thoughtful updates throughout. The open-concept kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring a granite island with seating for four, butcher block countertops, and a full-service butler’s pantry with a built-in sink, wine fridge, and beverage cooler. A stacked stone fireplace adds warmth to the living space, while the finished basement with a full bath offers additional room to relax. The maintenance-free exterior and windows ensure more time spent enjoying the outdoors rather than on upkeep. A 4-car oversized garage provides ample storage for everything you need to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape. Whether you're looking for a private retreat, a full-time residence, or an investment in Minnesota’s untouched beauty, this property is an extraordinary find. Here, life moves at your pace—whether that’s racing across a frozen lake, paddling through calm waters, or simply enjoying the quiet comfort of home. Adventure at Your Doorstep: From your driveway, access Minnesota’s most expansive and well-groomed snowmobile and ATV trails. Ride straight to the Vermilion Club on Lake Vermilion for their famous Bamboozler pizza and be back home before dark via the Taconite and Tomahawk trails. The Prospector Loop offers over 250 miles of newly added trails for ATV enthusiasts. Prefer the water? Explore the interconnected lakes—Farm Lake, Garden Lake, White Iron Lake, and South Farm Lake—where boat traffic is light and the BWCAW access begins. Wildlife is abundant, from eagles and owls to moose, foxes, and even the occasional black bear. Hiking trails wind through the vast forest, and the Mesabi Trail, the longest bicycle trail in the state, offers a scenic route right from Ely to Bear Head State Park and beyond. Whether you seek thrilling outdoor adventures or peaceful solitude, this location offers both.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
