Welcome to beautiful Island Lake! Just 6 miles from downtown Northome, this one-owner, custom scribed log home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Designed for entertaining, the spacious layout includes a large loft that easily accommodates extra guests—and could be converted into a third bedroom if desired. Enjoy stunning west-facing views with breathtaking sunsets and premium lakeshore, complete with minimal steps to the water for easy access. Inside, you’ll find standout features like a handcrafted walnut staircase with diamond willow railings and a bright, enclosed porch that’s been transformed into additional living space with panoramic lake views. Step outside onto the deck and relax in the fully enclosed gazebo—an ideal gathering spot for friends and family. The updated kitchen boasts white cabinetry and hard surface countertops, blending style and functionality. Garage and storage space are unmatched here. Just steps from the home is a large Morton Building pole barn, and across the road you’ll find an additional heated, insulated workshop—rare finds for a lake property in Northern Minnesota. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to snowmobile and ATV trails, as well as the abundance of public land nearby for hiking, hunting, and exploring—including the iconic Lost Forty, just 9 miles away. Wildlife is plentiful, with sightings of deer, black bear, grouse, geese, duck, woodcock, lynx—even moose! Island Lake is known for great fishing, offering walleye, pike, perch, bass, and more. And don’t forget to check out the famous Hoot N Holler Bar—just a ride away by ATV or snowmobile and a local favorite every weekend. As a bonus, the adjacent lot to the north with 150 feet of lakeshore and 2 acres is available to the buyer for an additional, reasonable price. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a true Northwoods gem!
