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.
