Welcome to one of the most extraordinary lakeshore properties available on the Gunflint Trail—over 700 feet of pristine, meandering shoreline on the legendary Sea Gull Lake. Nestled on 8.5 beautifully wooded acres, this new, custom-built cabin combines the best of Northwoods charm with modern comforts, all set against the backdrop of sparkling waters, rocky outcrops, and breathtaking views. Perched on a rocky knoll overlooking the lake, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin features thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and an open-concept layout. Vaulted ceilings and a spacious loft provide room to breathe and space to grow—perfect for additional sleeping quarters. Large windows throughout invite natural light and frame postcard-worthy views of the water, while whitewashed pine interiors add a bright, airy quality that blends rustic beauty with modern simplicity. The cabin is equipped with heating and air conditioning, making it quite comfortable. Step outside and enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, take in the call of loons echoing across the bay, or launch a canoe from your own private sand beach—rare for this area and perfect for swimming and wading. The shoreline here is truly exceptional: drive right to the edge of the lake and take advantage of not one, but two private docks—ideal for launching boats, diving in for a swim, or simply relaxing and watching the sun sparkle on the water. The property offers plenty of level parking space for boats, campers, trailers, and multiple vehicles. And if you crave wilderness adventure, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is practically at your doorstep—offering some of the best paddling, fishing, and exploring in the country. With direct access to Sea Gull Lake, you'll enjoy miles of interconnected waterways, abundant wildlife, and unmatched serenity. Whether you're looking for a peaceful personal retreat, a basecamp for outdoor adventures, or a stunning property to share with loved ones, this lakeshore gem offers it all. Properties like this rarely come available—don’t miss your chance to own a slice of the Northwoods paradise. Reach out today to schedule a private showing—your lake life dream begins here.
