You have arrived. The foyer is generous, and the beamed ceilings draw your eye up the moment you step inside. The living room opens before you, vaulted and warm with geothermal heat rising through the floors. The stunning kitchen with a center island breakfast bar, maple cabinetry, and every appliance you would want. The dining room sits just beyond it, and the wraparound deck is right through the doors, where nature's beauty is at its full effect. The primary suite is down the hall, spacious, private, with a walk-in closet and its own bath. A second bedroom, a half bath, a quiet office, and a custom mudroom with built-in storage complete the main level. Downstairs, the family room is enormous, with a walkout to the backyard and plenty of room for everyone. The flex room or media area offers options for its use. Two more bedrooms and a full bath finish the lower level. Outside, ten wooded acres with 1.75 miles of private trails, a fenced play area, and a chicken coop. Plenty of wildlife too: bear, moose, white-tailed deer, wolf, bobcat, and cougar have all been documented on this land. Twenty minutes to Duluth. Those trails deserve their own mention; privately maintained paths wind through the full depth of the acreage, traversable on foot, snowshoes, or cross-country skis in winter, and by boot or mountain bike in the warmer months. The Guest cottage, a 1700+ sq ft house, is thriving as a short-term rental and welcomes visitors seeking the same magic that draws people here. With two bedrooms, a spacious living area, a kitchen, a dining space, and a cozy sitting room, it promises a true Northern Minnesota retreat. It's perfect for longer visits from friends and family, too! It impresses everyone seeking seclusion, winding trails, abundant wildlife, and easy access to Duluth and the North Shore, making it a year-round destination. Income records are available upon request.
