Deep in the peaceful forest, overlooking Gitchee Gummee, at the end of the road is a refuge. A home away from it all, tastefully designed and appointed. Stately Norway Pines frame the view to the Big-Lake and sound the pure breezes moving along the coniferous slopes. Warblers in spring ride those winds and migrants of all sorts cruise in the fall: raptors, dragonflies, songbirds of all makes and models. The forest here is laced with trails for exploring the 5+ acres. To bolster the lot’s health the current owners have lovingly planted and caged 220 white pines, tamaracks and red oaks! Out of doors is the mode here: two large decks sprawl for BBQ, conversation, sunning. Ornamental garden is soothing in a Zenish way. Sunrises here are spiritual! Screen porch is Scandinavian Modern and invites contemplation, reading, napping. Step inside to Northwoods elegance, high-end finishes, and light-filled spaces infused with Boreal vibes! The kitchen, two baths, living room, den and primary bedroom were all updated/remodeled in 2021. Tiled floors and backsplashes, paneled walls and ceilings, cathedral loftiness. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths – room for the whole gang or an office/craft/yoga/meditation room. The living room is all windows except the dramatic “wall-o-fireplace-and-shelves”- the stonework and chunky mantle are bulwarks against all the snow and deep cold that still come regularly in these northern parts – so cool! Many flourishes and small touches of design throughout infuse the space with a sense of comfort, ease and purpose. The family room is large enough to comfortably hold rivals when the Pack play the Vikings! Or carve out a corner for a crafts area or quiet nook to have those important conversations. Dual-fuel rate for the heat is nice on the pocketbook, air exchanger keeps it healthy. Oversized, double garage with two tool/garden benches. 10 minutes to Grand Marais. Public land abuts to the south and Cascade State Park can be walked to, sprawling out for explorers. Cute little guest cabin opens possibilities. Intermittent stream is bridged by one of the paths. Resident family of pileated woodpeckers are the nearest visible neighbors. Come and see this place above the Shining Big Sea Water, where glinting drops of snowmelt invite spring, summer is dry-pine aromas, fall - splash of colors and drop of splitting axe, winter woodsmoke curling into the ether, mingling with human dreams of skiing, snowshoeing, next year’s paddling. Come make it home.
