Soaring Old Growth White Pines, primeval cedar grove, end of the road privacy on pure and enormous Pike Lake. 450+ feet of shoreline, 5.30 acres, lots of elbow room and privacy that just is hard to find these days in the Northland. A top-notch three-bedroom, one bath 2019 built home has been lightly used, well cared for and awaits the next lucky stewards of this inland lake boreal woods gem! Cedar siding, steel roof, thoughtful landscaping welcome you to home or the getaway as you wind down the driveway. Built to last was the mantra and there’s nothing to do but show up, unpack, unwind and dream up the each day’s adventure: fishing on Pike is great, back road to Grand Maris is fun, snowmobile right from home, or get sweaty splitting some wood for the living room’s main attraction: floor to ceiling stone fireplace with cedar log mantel. Or kick back and take it easy. Plenty of room here to relax with a book, maybe have a private conversation in the 4-season porch. The kitchen is class act with hickory cabinets galore, granite countertops and sprawling center island to host the whole crew. Dining area combines with kitchen and living room to create a happy gathering space for a chilly winter night of games or pouring over summer maps for the next day’s journey. Wood paneling throughout, hardwood and tiled floors, cathedral ceilings expand the bank of lakeside windows – look closely for warblers, pine martens, all kinds of interesting “neighbors.” Very practical design: infloor propane boiler also handles the domestic hot water, two one-thousand-gallon propane tanks guarantee plenty of comfortable heating! Mini split provides AC and heat back-up. Spacious bathroom has tiled tub and separate shower. Bedrooms laid out for maximum privacy - one of them would make a nice office. There is an absolutely bomber 50x40’ garage constructed of insulated concrete forms – three little pigs eat your heart out! Garage doors on each end make storage and access to all the toys easy. Create a warm, dry shop up there for all kinds of projects. Timber-frame shed and woodshed also serve the property. Roll in aluminum dock is included. Lutsen and all it offers is about 20 minutes away. Though it will be hard to leave this paradise. The white pines, cedars and thriving healthy forest are just so classic. Pike Lake clarity is 15+ feet – boating and swimming here is dreamy. The well-planned and like new home, what more can be said folks… Look around and compare, this is THE place.
