About This Home

Here is that perfect little Lake Home you've been waiting for. Lake properties like this one rarely come available. Welcome to private (no public access) Little Pequaywan Lake just 30 minutes to Duluth. With 200 ft of pristine lake frontage, there is no lack of privacy at this 3 bedroom home with stunning views! Enjoy the cozy warmth of the original field stone fireplace. The original boathouse sits right on the water's edge and has been converted to a guest house. The heated and insulated 32x28 3 car garage is great for all the extras plus an additional 16 x 22 garage that would make an excellent shop. This pine studded lot has its own private boat launch and a huge concrete patio area for all your entertaining needs. The home has an attached 12x22 screen house, deck off the primary bedroom, and sits just a stones throw to the water. Ice fishing, snowmobiling (State Trail Access), and Cross Country Skiing (groomed trails right up the road) will keep you busy in the winter. Boating, grilling, and swimming will occupy you in the summer. This year round paradise is just waiting for you!
