About This Home

Terrific Lutsen Cabin on 8+ acres with deeded access to Tait Lake. Abuts public land on two sides! The cabin boasts a wood-fired hot tub, wood-fired sauna with ample changing and chillaxing area, and a really slick wildfire sprinkler system! Perhaps “cabin” is not quite right as it evokes only a getaway maybe even rustic. Make no mistakes, this is a quality, year-round home with all the creature comforts! Heck, reinvent yourself, move up north and put down some homestead roots! There are clearings for gardens and add a garage if you like. Though, there is a nice spacious shed to hold down the tools, toys, etc. Fiber optic keeps one connected when needed. Off-Peak heating system is more than adequate and nice on the monthly utility bill. There is an off-peak unit down in the spacious, dry crawlspace – awesome place for storage. Covered, screen porch, nice and cool in the summer – cribbage and naps go well out there! Airy, open deck has commanding views over the woods and leads directly into the hottub! Starry Northern Light Nights in a wood fired hottub!? Doesn’t get much better! Until you head over to the sauna which has room for the whole crew. Good space out there for cooling between reps, maybe even bunking a guest there with a summer bed – loon serenading comes with the price of the real estate! Inside, the layout is classy, clean lines enriched with wood: hearty oak floors, warm pine paneling. Main bedroom is private and spacious. Kitchen whips up the blueberry cakes and walleye fries. Living room is light-filled, and in the shoulder seasons and winter, purrs along with a Lopi Woodstove. Large loft provides another bedroom and a sitting area for puzzles, reading Sigurd Olson, or a good chat about the ol’ days and the adventures to come! All around the Boreal Woods await exploration. In the dead of winter, at a place like this in the glow of the woodstove, maps of wild country are consulted and plans are hatched! Owner has access to two private Tait Lake docks. Sensible HOA. No rentals allowed. Good fishing lake and lots of public land to keep it peaceful and full of wildlife. Well-maintained structure, siding was just restained 4 years ago. Just plug yourself in and start living in the Great Northwoods. A quieter life, cool sylvan air, a forest spirit that invites contemplation. It’s a place to slow down, reflect, perhaps pivot and make a life change. Or, just have the getaway, ready anytime you need it – the dream now reality!

    Clara Lake is nestled inland from Lutsen in an expanse of pure Northwoods. Clara itself is primarily surrounded by public land with a small section where a group of lucky souls have cabins that epitomize Up-North living! Here's the opportunity to get in on the action. A classic cabin resides in the middle of 400' of pristine shoreline. Sweet privacy, accentuated by being near the end of the road.
