Running from the Cascade River is a ridge of maples
* Has Contingent Offer *Glorious in the fall and sap for syrup in spring! At the end of this ridge is 7.5 acres of Home Sweet Home. The coveted Pike Lake Rd area, out past Babineau Corner, close to the XC ski and snowmobile trails and near to peaceful, fish-ful Pike Lake. All 11 miles from Grand Marais. Each building at this property was well-constructed and lovingly maintained. Its the sort of Northwoods place an owner develops slowly and carefully over time. Putting thought into each step, each clearing, how to place structures and windows so. To let light dance, winds meander and downy flakes pile up in myriad forms. Gardening is important: sustenance of course, but soul work, so may as well have several gardens, even asparagus. All is ready: soil enriched, fenced. There are lilacs and other thoughtful contributions to the local flora. Its the sort of spot thats hard to come by these days: high and dry upland, a boreal forest kissing a maple sugarbush. Two sides abut thousands of acres of public land. Wander, wonder, take a nap in pathless woods. Return home by following the scent and beacon of woodsmoke curling from the woodstove. Two bedrooms, one bath, a light-filled living room facing southwest. A sunroom for contemplating seed catalogs in the winter and plowing through novels anytime of year. A roomy deck adjoins the sunroom and an upper whimsical deck provides a commanding view, a place to sun-worship, dream, talk it all out. A shed near the home is pure purpose, compartmentalized: wood storage, gardening tools, machine storage (rototiller, snowblower.), all the seasonal necessities of a northern life. Garage down the hll is also well designed: wings for additional storage and a heated workshop/office plan and complete the projects!
It all started for the current owners with what is now a little bunkhou se. They lived there first while envisioning how to open the land for an extended stay, raise a family, get to know all the birds and other neighbors. Now it can be for friends and family, a little studio, lots of options. Seller generously wants to get you going in the right direction: lots of excellent personal property can be included. This is a dreamy opportunity to take over a true homestead. A comfortable and inviting place, settled in now, still fresh and strong a home in its prime looking for new owners to thrive with, dream a bit, do the daily business of loving and living.
