About This Home
Unbelievable...You turn the corner into the drive and your eyes widen as you suddenly feel transported to Sweden. An extraordinary retreat tucked into the pristine waters of the Northwoods, captures the essence of European elegance while embracing the untamed beauty of Minnesota’s wilderness—where crystal-clear lakes meet towering pines, and every sunrise paints the sky in colors too vivid to be real. Here, luxury doesn’t compete with nature—it harmonizes with it. Thoughtful details abound, including in-floor heat in the lower level, garage, and bathrooms for year-round comfort. And with the lakefront property connected to the White Iron Chain of Lakes, you’ll enjoy access to an additional 4,462 acres of water for boating, paddling, and exploring. Gorgeous architecture and warm woods create spaces that breathe with the rhythm of the forest, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame ever-changing views like living artwork. Steam rises from your coffee cup as you settle into your canoe, the mug balanced perfectly in front of you. Each paddle stroke sends ripples across the glassy water, the only sound the soft drip... drip... drip of water falling back into the lake. In the distance, a loon’s haunting call echoes across the stillness. The sun begins to peek above the trees, casting a golden light that makes the morning mist dance like spirits on the surface. This isn’t a daydream—it’s your daily life. From your private dock, paddle directly into the wilderness of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. No driving to access points. No crowded launches. Just you, your canoe, and miles of untouched beauty waiting to be explored. Fish virgin waters. Camp under a canopy of stars. Wake up to the call of loons echoing across the lake. This timeless retreat offers more than a beautiful home—it offers a lifestyle. A sanctuary where refined design meets raw wilderness. A place where every detail honors comfort and the natural world that surrounds it. Your adventure begins at your back door. Welcome to your private paradise in the heart of Minnesota’s crown jewel.
