About This Home

As of August 2025

Your Northwoods Escape Awaits – Just 10 Miles from Ely up the Fernberg Road! Looking for peace, privacy, and a whole lot of nature? This stunning own owner 2+BR/2BA rural retreat is nestled on nearly 20 acres of woods and trails, offering the perfect blend of cozy comfort and outdoor adventure. Step inside and fall in love with the open concept living, dining, and kitchen area complete with a thoughtfully designed angled island, ideal for entertaining or weekend pancakes with friends.

Enjoy dining al fresco or simply soaking in the sights and sounds of the three W’s — weather, woods, and wildlife — from your wrap-around deck. Explore the property’s scenic trails year-round: snowshoe, hunt, ATV, birdwatch, or ski right from your doorstep! With in-floor electric heat, a cozy wood stove, a large woodshed, and a backup generator, you’re set for all four seasons in true northern Minnesota style.
