Kivi Talo, the “Stone Home!” A classic North Shore home along the shores of the Big Lake. This one goes way back, built by those who knew the best spots and craftsmanship. For years it was THE place to stop for a chat and to shop for diamond willow walking staffs. Cozy one bedroom and loft, all very manageable – tiny home before its time. The loft is cozy and imbued and polished with the dreams of former residents. There is a vibe here! The current owners have shined and loved it up, adding a sturdy log barn for the ages! The remodeled fish-house across the road sits on miles of public beach. 8+ acres of Northwoods to explore. Cleared area for gardens, firepit, and chillaxin’! East of Grand Marais just 10ish minutes. Out where it is more peaceful. Inside, the home is all warm, wood paneling, great wood floors. Solidly built – huff and puff and you can’t even dent the stone home! Tight, smaller home is perfect for wood-stove heat and what an idyllic look as you head in from a snowshoe, chimney smoke drifting in the Gitchi Gumi air. In the summer, crack the windows and Superior air cleanses hearth, home and heart. Walking on the beach is transcendent, there’s just something about strolling along 10,000 year old glacial melt, gets into a body and smooths it all out like one of those “heart stones” the lake churns up here and there. Plenty of elbow room here, and up yonder behind the home the land slopes upward and into the Boreal woods. The property borders public land, so feel free to wonder on the taxpayer’s dime! Ha. Lilacs, rhubarb, and an absolutely stunning gooseberry patch. Ok, maybe sell gooseberry-rhubarb tarts instead of walking staffs – I’d take a dozen! Easy jaunt into town when you crave the “City Lights”, stock up, take in a play, eat a donut. Don’t let the crowds get you down, you have your peaceful place back at Kivi Talo for solitude and peace.
