About This Home

Welcome to your own private Northwoods retreat! Nestled on 46 breathtaking wooded acres, this extraordinary property offers the perfect blend of tranquility, recreation, and natural beauty. Whether you're searching for a peaceful escape, a year-round residence, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this remarkable property offers a unique opportunity.
A network of trails winds throughout the property, inviting endless opportunities for hiking, walking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ATV riding, and exploring the woods. Beyond the property, the trail system connects to recreational trails, including convenient access to the Soo Line ATV Trail and the Willard Munger State Trail, allowing you to enjoy miles of adventure right from your own retreat. River-fed Ice Lake, approximately 22 feet deep, offers exceptional kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and peaceful relaxation amid breathtaking scenery. The lake is home to northern pike, bass, crappie, and more, while abundant wildlife makes this a true nature lover's paradise.
Every season showcases picture-perfect views that feel like a living painting. Adding even more value, the property includes a transferable DNR Forest Management Plan, providing benefits such as reduced property taxes and potential future timber revenue.
The beautifully maintained, energy-efficient log home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless character. The logs were professionally treated in 2025, helping preserve the home's beauty and structural integrity. The natural insulating qualities of log construction provide exceptional year-round comfort while contributing to the home's impressive energy efficiency. The stunning kitchen was completely remodeled in 2025 with luxury cabinetry, elegant granite countertops, and premium finishes. In July 2026, the home, garage, and gazebo were professionally treated and freshly stained on the exterior. The spacious detached garage provides abundant room for vehicles, recreational equipment, storage, and a workshop, making it an ideal space for projects, hobbies, and year-round storage. The gazebo interior was freshly painted, and the gazebo roof was completely refreshed, completing the property's meticulous care and maintenance.
Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water, casting a line from the dock, exploring the miles of connected trails, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, this is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Rarely does a property offer this exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, thoughtful updates, impressive energy efficiency, and year-round recreation. Experience a place where every sunrise, every season, and every view leaves a lasting impression.
