Gorgeous 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath home, thoughtfully situated on 17.1 acres on the edge of what makes up the world's largest Boreal forest. The property borders the Superior National Forest, a wonderful neighbor, providing added privacy with vast wilderness experiences just outside its doors. Stunning vaulted wood ceilings with efficient gas fireplace and lovely natural light, create a living room you'll be drawn to and won't want to leave. The lower level boasts a newer updated family room with a wood burning fireplace and walkout to the sun drenched patio. All bedrooms are spacious, cozy and have healthy sized closets. The eat in kitchen offers direct access to the deck for outdoor grilling and dining. This is a meticulously kept, move in ready, one owner home, with many charming features and fine finishes. The home offers a 2-story detached double-stall garage with 200-amp electric with heating options on both levels. The upper level's 27 x 16 space has functioned as a wood-shop / hobby area since it's construction. This area can easily be imagined as a yoga studio, craft / project space, private retreat area or additional living quarters. The lower level boasts metal cabinets and ample shelving for all your garage storage needs. Conveniently located a short distance from Bear Island and Birch Lake public landings for your water access desires. The property is accessed via paved county-maintained road which makes for easy winter ingress / egress. With spectacular fall colors surrounding the sprawling yard, quiet environment year round, and a short distance from all Ely / Babbitt and the surrounding region have to offer, this property just makes sense. Whether a year round home or seasonal retreat, this is an amazing setting with ample opportunities to grow. New 4-bedroom compliant mound septic system scheduled for installation in early October 2026.
