What's special

Large rock outcroppings

North of Ely on the scenic Echo Trail is this gem of a lot. 4.39 acres of wooded forest near Big Lake. The property is elevated and has large rock outcroppings covered with some large pine, birch and maple. Western sunset views over state land while also adjoining federal land to the north. A short driveway leads to a small 12 x 12 bunk/shed which is insulated, heated and wired for generator. This location makes this an ideal spot to explore the nearby lakes and BWCA entry points and the setting has a very peaceful “grab your favorite book” feeling to it.
