About This Lot

As of July 2025

Awesome and private south facing lakeshore parcel on quiet Wolf Lake just 15 minutes from Ely!  Large 3.5 acre parcel with aprox 865 feet of pristine shoreline to enjoy!   Easy access to the shore from the building site and has some sandy/gravel areas for great swimming!  Mixed mature tree cover and some dramatic elevated views from a very cool rocky ridge!  Property is surveyed and septic approved.  Long  private quarter mile plus private driveway from the Wolf Lake Rd. to the parcel is an  easement for access and power through adjoining county land.  Wolf Lake is 289 acres, has a max. depth of 28 ft, and has some great fishing for a variety of fish species including walleye, large and smallmouth bass, northern pike, crappie and sunfish!  Included is a 16' x 20' wall tent on a wooden platform with a wood burning stove! There is traditional power a quarter mile away on the Wolf Lake Rd, but the owners have installed a solar power system on the property that handles their present needs including pulling water from the 300 plus foot drilled well. It all can be operated by a portable generator as well. The present owners have created a comfortable building site area that allows comfortable enjoyment of this fantastic parcel.  They also have a model year 2020 23 foot Airstream Globetrotter RV on the property that provides all the comforts of home and is available, if desired, for a discounted price of 70k.  Or, it can be removed by the Sellers.  This is a great parcel with a great Ely area feeling on a great lake!
