60 Overlook Trail Tofte, MN 55615

As the glaciers receded and filled the Lake Superior basin, hills above Superior were exposed. Hills that support homes with views! Pure and constant, meltwater and rain found their way down the hills, etching into the rock. LeVeaux Creek incised deeply in its route and today is a lovely property border, shady, pleasant, culminating in a dramatic waterfall - a natural barrier on the east side of 60 Overlook Tr. Here’s a mountain getaway settled in the unique forest, rocks, waters and pure air distinctive to the Northwoods that abut Gitche Gummi. The stewards of this home have kept the woods close, natural, inviting. Lots to see and do here: warblers in spring boggle the mind, birds of prey in the fall cruise the thermals above the hills in astonishing numbers. Raspberries are thick this year with all the rain – come get moved in just when they will be ripening! A diversity of flowers get going as soon as the snow recedes and bloom robustly until the frost has its way. Come inside this winter and enjoy either of the fireplaces: the upper is in the great room with its commanding views of the Big Lake, the lower in the family room, a place for movies, cribbage, the kid zone if needed. Lots of room here, 3 bedrooms, two full baths. The main bedroom accesses a private deck for morning coffee or afternoon nap – do whatever you like out there, no one around to see! Huge walk-in closet welcomes all the season’s threads. Spacious kitchen with roomy center counter because everyone hangs near the food! Commodious pantry can handle a Costco load! Dining area, open to kitchen and great room, is filled with light and accesses the main deck – BBQ, G&Ts, shootin’ the breeze. Big ol’ garage for all the necessities of doing it right in the North Country! So many windows, so much light – strategically open a group of them to fill the home with sylvan airs, bird calls, barred owls at night infusing your dreams. Practical, spacious utility room houses the laundry and propane boiler that runs the cozy in-floor heat: nice on the feet and pocket book! Between Tofte and Lutsen, the options for food, hiking, skiing, golfing, exploring are innumerable!
