Welcome to an extraordinary private estate where luxury, recreation, and self-sufficiency come together on 80 breathtaking acres just 45 minutes south of Duluth. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this one-of-a-kind property offers exceptional privacy, a private 13-acre lake, rolling fields, mature hardwoods, and a lifestyle that’s nearly impossible to duplicate.

Established gardens, fruit trees, grapevines, and a new concrete driveway apron complete the grounds.The land is equally impressive, offering approximately 30 acres of tillable ground - currently supporting hay, 20 acres of mature hardwoods, abundant wildlife, established hunting stands, and a private lake reaching depths of approximately 40 feet. Whether your dream is hunting, hobby farming, fishing, entertaining, or simply enjoying unmatched privacy, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a true Northwoods legacy estate.
