Discover one of the most compelling Lake Superior properties near Grand Marais, featuring 5.8 private acres and 313 feet of dramatic ledge rock shoreline. Exceptional in both size and setting, the property offers substantially more acreage and shoreline than is typically found this close to town, creating a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and future potential. A long, winding driveway leads into a remarkably private, park-like setting surrounded by mature trees, native vegetation, and the timeless beauty of the North Shore. From the shoreline, enjoy picturesque views of Artist's Point, while selective tree clearing could open up breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Superior from a future homesite. A vintage family cottage remains on the property and has been enjoyed by generations of the same family. The structure and existing improvements are being offered in as-is condition, presenting an opportunity for restoration, repurposing, or removal as part of future development plans. The true value lies in the exceptional land, shoreline, privacy, and location. Rarely does a property combine this level of acreage, dramatic Lake Superior frontage, and proximity to Grand Marais. Whether you envision a private getaway, family estate, or custom year-round residence, this is a remarkable opportunity to create something special along Minnesota's North Shore.
