About This Home

As of August 2024

On the eastern shores of West Bearskin Lake you will find an exceptional opportunity to own a year-round retreat in one of Minnesota’s most picturesque locales. Savor the splendor of the tranquil waters and spectacular sunset views from your lakeside bunkhouse or from the unparalleled vista perch of the charming log cabin. The main cabin beckons with its rustic allure and inviting ambiance. Step inside to discover a cozy interior adorned with plenty of windows that frame panoramic views of the lake and surrounding wilderness. The addition of a bathroom and expanded living space, including a loft sleeping area, ensures comfort and convenience for year-round living or weekend getaways. Outside, a screened porch provides the perfect spot to savor the sights and sounds of nature, from the serene waters to the melodies of birdsong. A gently sloping trail leads down to 398 feet of coveted shoreline, where a 20' x 23' bunkhouse awaits, offering additional accommodation options just steps from the dock. This idyllic property is more than just a lakeside retreat; it's a gateway to adventure. With direct access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA), outdoor enthusiasts will delight in endless opportunities for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and fishing. The surrounding area boasts lush tree coverage, blueberry and raspberry bushes, and fragrant rose bushes, creating a haven for wildlife and a peaceful retreat for residents. Adding to the allure is the proximity to state land across the county-maintained road, ensuring privacy and seclusion. Meanwhile, the mid-Gunflint Trail provides easy access to a host of amenities, including lodges, restaurants, and recreational facilities, making it easy to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and charm of the Northwoods. Don't miss your chance to own this rare gem on West Bearskin Lake – a sanctuary where every sunset brings a new adventure and every moment is infused with the magic of the great outdoors.
