Property Description

A rarity on Lake Superior. Perched on a hill, this well-maintained log home offers stunning views of Lake Superior and its beach of ledge rock and beach gravel. In this home's magical setting, you can see, hear, sense or smell Lake Superior wherever you are, whether inside the home, bunkhouse, or garage and shop, or anywhere on the property. By taking a short path to the beach, you reach the Lake and can enjoy its beauty and its cool touch. Approximately ¼ mile from the property is a trailhead for the Superior Hiking Trail including the 3-mile stretch that travels the beach of Lake Superior. Cozy, comfortable and charming, this year-round log home started as a 3-room log cabin, dismantled from a resort site on Basswood Lake in the BWCA, the logs numbered, and the cabin re-erected on the property. Decades later, builder, Norman Moe built a beautiful addition to the original 3-room cabin. This newer part of the home also includes a stone fireplace and chimney crafted by Lloyd Speck. The fireplace has a Jotul Stove System 18 built-in surrounded with Silver Creek rock, and the exterior rock of the chimney is Carlton Peak rock. Since 2013, the transformation of this solid log structure into a quality log home included the work of two local log craftsman from Beeline Construction that converted a 3-season porch to a Lakeroom of windows, warmth and view.. A new roof was constructed for the entire house, Andersen windows installed, and insulation added to the roof and attic. Other transformative work included adding beautiful kitchen cabinetry by Steve Ashe, and 1010 Interiors bathroom construction and remodel, cabinetry, stone countertops, and flooring that includes energy efficient in-floor heat. The creative details of the finished carpentry work throughout the house makes this a unique gem on the Big Lake. For the interior, unique trim, wooden shelves, corbels or shelf backets, handles, hooks, towel bars, and clothes hooks create a charm like no other. The carved wooden antlers on roof gables add to the whimsy; and the outdoor 6 ‘x 8' sauna also speak to the character, ingenuity and creative spirit of the setting. The beach gravel on this property is known to change with wave and ice action. Will you be the next one to live in this cozy, charming home, and witness the waves of Lake Superior design the everchanging landscape of this private paradise?
