About This Home
As of July 2025Hang a left at Lutsen on the Caribou Tr, eventually meandering through majestic old-growth pines to Christine Lake - quiet, secluded in a vast stretch of the Superior National Forest. Most of the Christine shoreline is public: protected, wild, pure. A handful of lucky landowners live amongst the beauty and peace. 48 Christine Point Rd tucks into the surrounding Northwoods as comfortably as the swans that nest each year in this remoteness. A classic square hewn log cabin, just the right size for getaways or downsizing to a year-round Thoreauvian approach to the 21st century. Doable here with power and fiber optic humming along reliably. The cabin encourages orderliness, with each thing in its place, like living on a ship, this one adrift upon a vast Boreal Woods Ocean! Attached screen porch expands into the forest aromas, the breeze whispering - good place to sleep all summer, dreams tinged sylvan green. For true outdoor living, just nearby is a 16x10 timber-frame covered platform, the place for hanging out, eating with the gang, string up a hammock for a snooze, tent spot for guests, do some whittling, study the warbler wave infilling each nook and cranny every spring. Back in the cabin it’s toasty with woodstove and baseboard electric when the fire cools down. Loft up above serves well for sleeping, kids, or just a place to escape it all! Composting toilet works well. Cedars of all age classes predominate in the forest, some stout ol’ beauties curve and twist in subtle movements imperceptible to the rationale mind, coming alive in the imagination. Lady slippers appear below the cedars each year, one of many delights within this rich biologic web. A representative of the Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District summed it up thusly: “The acreage is healthy, unique and well-positioned for future insect / climate impacts.” A botany professor friend was amazed, “a dozen species of sedge are on this property!” Sellers are ready to hand over to the next owners with lots in place to make for instant cabin living. Come try your hand at it... harvest some wild rice, split some firewood, stroll the back roads with a pet, take a long deep breath into the here and now.
