In the heart of Itasca County, an idyllic retreat sits on a private lake where ownership rarely changes hands. Perfect for creating family memories, retiring in paradise, or simply escaping, this Wasson Lake property has been a cherished family getaway since 1973. It holds the highest land value on the lake—thanks to 2,200 feet of pristine shoreline,18 forested acres, two pine points and a secluded bay. Wasson is known for its clear water - ideal for swimming, boating and fishing.
A meticulously maintained cedar-sided cabin features a multi-use great room with a vaulted, beamed ceiling, hardwood floors and stunning, artisan-built stone fireplace. A screen porch welcomes dining, napping and lake watching. A new dock and sandy swimming area are ready for the pure enjoyment of being in and on the water.
This unique property is on the northeast end of the lake, with the look and feel of the Boundary Waters wilderness. Privacy abounds. Nearby multi-use trails, state forests and parks offer endless adventures.
