Lake County, Minnesota Land For Sale (3 results)

This property is what I'd consider a unicorn in the real estate world! If you're familiar with the Northshore of Lake Superior you likely understand the majestic draw that pulls folks up here from all over the state and region! There are tons of parks, trails, and waterfalls to visit along the shore, but arguably, two of the main attractions along the shore are Gooseberry Falls State Park and Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. This property is located as the crow flies approx. 2.18 miles from Split Rock Lighthouse and approx. 2.27 miles to Gooseberry Falls State Park. What makes this property so unique is the sheer size of the property and being so close to Lake Superior and surrounding sites. I'd venture to say a person would be hard-pressed to find this amount of acreage in many lifetimes this close to the shore and landmark sites! As you turn off Highway 61 onto Blueberry Hill Road, you follow that up through quintessential northshore timber and terrain. After approx. 1.8 miles, you come to a gate. From there, the rest of the driveway goes approx. 1.24 miles through the scenic Northwoods to the cabin/home site. As you pull into the home/cabin site, you can see scenic views of Skunk Creek. If a person follows Skunk Creek downstream that flows into the Gooseberry River and obviously from there down into the park and over the famous Gooseberry Falls! The beautiful log-sided cabin/home has amazing views out of all the great room windows! The cabin itself has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor. As well as an open loft that has more room for guests! The home is powered by solar with a generator backup. It also has backup propane lighting. Outside the home there is a beautiful sauna shack that has a changing room in the front half. There is also an approx. 16x20 single-car detached garage and a beautiful 48x60 Morton Building! The land is loaded with miles of trails to easily access the various areas of the property. Most are wide enough for side-by-side but would be perfect for someone looking to cross-country ski or snowshoe through their very own northern MN paradise! To ensure this property stays what it is for generations of its future landowners down the road, the property was put into a conservation easement with Minnesota Land Trust. This will ensure this property stays preserved and protected by the conservation easement guidelines. The property is also enrolled in Class 2c Timber Management Plan, which helps to keep the taxes down. As part of the forestry management plan, the sellers have replanted around 2,000 ish trees, primarily white pine and bur oak. While working my way through the beautiful trails through the rolling terrain I came upon several beaver pond areas along various areas of the property and creek. The property itself is a great habitat for deer, bears, and grouse. I also saw sign of moose. When I came in off of the highway, there was a pretty good amount of deer sign within 1/4 mile of the lake as the deer migrate down towards the lake come winter, and many will move back inland come spring and summer. There would also be chances to see otters, bobcats, and lynxes on this property as well. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime property! Call for more info or to set up a private showing today!

This is an absolutely beautiful property located in the heart of the Northwoods! This property has excellent access off a year-round paved road and an excellent driveway leading back to the pole shed. The pole shed is approx. 42'x64' Morton building with electric!! There's a workshop inside the pole shed as well. The pole shed is sitting near the north end of an old airstrip used many years ago! This old airstrip could be used great for riding ATVs and snowmobiles, or shooting some long-range shots. From the pole shed to the far end of the old airstrip, it's approximately 1,220 feet and approximately 1,490 feet from the north end to the south end. Towards the south end of the old airstrip, there's a nice trail that leads farther south as well to allow easy access to much of the timbered areas in the southern portion of the property! Not far east of the pole shed sits an unbelievable spot where they have what I call a crows foot set up for deer hunting. This setup has a box stand overlooking three clearings, one of which ends pretty close to where some low ground would push game up through one of the openings. These would be unbelievable spots to plant food plots! This property could have chances at deer, bear, grouse, and even see some of the local moose! To have a quality property in this area with this great access, already having electricity and a pole shed, is not an easy property to find!! If this sounds like something you've been waiting for, give me a call to set up a private showing today!
