Charming south facing 2 BR 1 BA year round home located on Fall Lake with 375+/- feet of sand beach shoreline. The home is situated close to the waters edge, and includes 12 acres of boreal forest. Major updates have happened in the past 10 years and it's transformed from a seasonal cabin to year round. Improvements are: a new insulated roof, all the interior logs were hand sanded and chinked, numerous new windows, the beautiful lakeside porch is now 4 season and accessed through the french paned doors. The kitchen is new with beautiful tile flooring, cabinets, granite countertops and stainless appliances. Previously accessed from the outside, interior stairs were added to access the partially finished very clean walkout basement; location of the newer propane furnace, mechanicals, laundry and bathroom. Lovely details: include antique light fixtures, freestanding wood stove, wood floors, vaulted living room, open to the kitchen and dining room. At the edge of the BWCAW; 1.5 mile boat ride from the dock to the BW and only 7 miles from Ely. So much history to this charming structure! This authentic 1930's log cabin was moved in the 1960s over the ice from Basswood Lake to Fall Lake; in 1985 it was placed on a new walkout basement foundation, new septic and indoor bath added in 1998, and new cedar siding in 2002. Includes both an open pole barn and enclosed one, two wood sheds, septic, and sandpoint well. Behind this property is the 350 acres U of M Wilderness Research Center. Secluded, peaceful and one of a kind property.
