66461 Island Lake Ln, Northome, MN 56661

The Property The lakeshore lot is approximately 4.81 acres of mostly wooded area and some cleared areas. The cleared areas include a grassed area just off the township road and cul-de-sac that intersects the property as well as an area across the road, set back into the wooded lot, accessible via a short curving driveway, suitable for a 30’ x 40’ shed or garage or other structure. There is also a cleared yard area the full width of the lot just behind the tree-line at the shore as well as the South facing hill. The clearing just off the road has a 10’ x 11’ painted and shingled storage shed. The road is maintained and plowed in the winter by the Ardenhurst Township. The main property sits high to the lake offering an astounding view of the entire lake and surrounding area. The lot offers a variety of build locations, including heavily wooded areas and nearly fully cleared areas. The 153’ of shoreline is located on the southern end of the property. Near the shore there is a 30’ - 50' tree line providing privacy and runoff protection for the lake. A clearing through the tree line provides access to the lake and is an ideal location for a dock. The lake bottom along the shore has a sandy bottom and gradual slope. The water is typically very clear, offering a clear view of the bottom, 100’ off shore. Included with the property are the storage shed (located on the yard near the road), and a storage dock box (located in the clearing access to the shore). The Lake Island Lake is an approximate 3100 acre lake containing both a larger and one smaller island and several small bays located along its perimeter. The lake has varying depths and many features ideal for fishing, including Walleye and Northern Pike. The lake association utilizes the attached rearing pond to periodically stock the lake with Walleye, so it has long been a very good Walleye fishing lake. Additional information can be found on the Minnesota DNR site (https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/showreport.html?downum=31091300). Island Lake is a very quiet lake. It is rare there is any traffic on the lake other than a few small fishing boats. Even on a beautiful sunny mid-summer afternoon, you may or may not see anyone else on the lake. The Location The property is located on the NW corner of Island Lake in Itasca County. Latitude/Longitude coordinates of the entry from the township road are 47.836506, -94.255388 (http://binged.it/17lHDLs). The neighborhood is very quiet. There’s very little traffic on the road other than nearby residents, which amount to two other homes on the dead-end cul-de-sac.

In addition to other businesses and residencies, Northome includes restaurants, a grocery store, a gas station, a hardware store, and a post office.
