Unique Lake Superior Quality. This beautiful timber-frame home sits on dramatic gently-sloping ledgerock shoreline, with cobble coves and spectacular views to the Grand Marais harbor. Privacy and pristine beauty with 3+ acres and 230 feet of shoreline, only a short walk to town. The location is special, and the home has uncompromising quality and charm. The reclaimed timbers came from the "world's largest railroad roundhouse" from the early 1900's in Proctor. Masterfully crafted into a stunning private "lodge" with soaring ceilings and expert joinery showing off the character of the douglas fir timbers. The 5200 square foot home features: stone fireplace, wood and tile floors, professional quality kitchen, and quality details too many to list. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, office, a den/sitting room with outstanding views, cedar sauna, large rec room, workout room, and loads of storage space. The home was constructed with extreme energy efficiencies in design and systems. The attached 3-car heated garage has room for workspace and storage. Enjoy lake-side privacy on the expansive ironwood deck, including an outdoor gas fireplace so it can be used even in the shoulder seasons. All this grandeur, plus a 40 X 30 shop building with the same timber-framing and energy designs. Its high ceilings, bathroom, kitchen and sitting area with wood stove make it a comfortable place to do projects or be a home unto itself. A must see. The property is served by a large solar system designed to help offset energy bills. Most furnishings included. Come live here or enjoy as a retreat property, it's a one-of-a-kind North Shore masterpiece.
