About This Home
As of January 2024This charming earth sheltered, solar and generator powered cabin is 20 minutes from Lake Superior to the south or the nearest BWCAWilderness entry point to the north. Make this your base camp in Cook County and you can be on the Superior Hiking Trail or Sugarbush ski trails in 15 minutes. The best biking, canoeing and hiking in the Midwest is just down a scenic road. The cabin, on one of the highest points of a glacial esker, looks across a vast expanse of the Temperance River Valley and the Superior National Forest. The quiet is immense. The Milky Way blazes across the dark night sky. Witness the Aurora unblemished by light pollution. A short trail through the jack pines leads to the Temperance, a beautiful wild river where you might see otters, mergansers, even wolves. Springs flow from the base of the esker where the river has cut through. When conditions are right there is no better place to ski. This is a place to get close to the boreal forest. Wildflowers grow around the cabin and along trails. Wolves howl, moose browse near the pond, fishers visit the suet and gray jays land on your hand for treats.This is a rare 40 acre property with a truly wild character, yet pretty easy access. The paved part of the Sawbill Trail comes to within 2 miles, and the rest is good gravel road and driveway. With public land all around, the places to explore are limitless. Wake up to the rising sun flooding the forest view with light, and within an hour be setting up camp on Brule Lake, the biggest non-motorized lake in Minnesota and one of the gems of the BWCAW. Watch the weather coming in from your perch on the ridgetop. From the deck, listen to the natural sounds of the forest: river flowing, wind through the trees, ravens calling, and long periods of soothing quiet. It’s an ideal spot, close to the Lake Superior shoreline, to the beautiful Boundary Waters lakes Brule, Sawbill, Kawishiwi and more, all short drives through the national forest. Eagle Mountain, the highest point in Minnesota, can be hiked on an easy day trip from the cabin. The property has several potential building sites with grand views, in case you’d like to build a modern house once broadband and power arrive in a year or two. Use the cabin while you build your dream home. Put yourself on the doorstep of Cook County, where you’ll find the wildest and most beautiful places in Minnesota.
