What's special

Established water collection sitesSolar-powered cabin

Road and just minutes from Moose Lake, Snowbank, Ojibwa, and so many classic BWCA entry points, this property puts you at the doorstep of some of the most beloved wilderness in Minnesota. The 3-room solar-powered cabin is simple, sturdy, and surprisingly well-equipped, offering far more than meets the eye. You’ll find a full insulated septic system, established water collection sites, and a solar setup ready to keep the lights on while you enjoy life off the grid. Need storage? You’ll love the 24x32 pole building with 14 ft walls and 12 x12 garage doors on a solid concrete slab, perfect for your vehicles, tools, ATV, snowmobiles, pontoon, canoes, or whatever toys you bring to the Northwoods. And if you decide off grid isn’t your long-term plan, power is nearby, making future expansion or upgrades completely possible. Onwer/Agent
