Description

Mature Norway Pine studded 260 feet of White Iron Lake shore just south of Ring Rock offers a nice 26 x 26 modern cabin that is well suited to three seasons. This cabin is a four season possibility with a well and the addition of a furnace. There is currently a newer septic system and has a lake water system in use. The home sits on a full basement with walkout. The main floor walk in leads to the living area, with excellent lake views and beautiful sunsets from it's western exposure. A comfortable lakeside three season porch just off the kitchen area is done in knotty pine allows for relaxation and comfort. There is a full bath and bedroom on the mail floor. The spacious loft extends the bedroom or recreation areas of the cabin. A dock is provided with an easy roll out at the end of the season. Fishing is excellent from the dock or the ring rock area. It is just a short boat ride to the river feeding White Iron and another excellent place to fish and explore. A very private spot.

    "Ely is located at the end of the road. No roads go to much further north due to the boundary waters canoe area which strictly prohibits dwellings or any man made structures. Ely can seem like a long way from anywhere at times and the community recognizes this and most willing are willing to help whoever and whenever the need may arise. We take care of our own and then some . "

    "as a new comer to ely try to get into activities around town, especially if you have younger children who are not school age. jobs are not always easy to find and though the cost of living is fairly low you do money can get tight quickly. ely is a nice town but it's hard on you too. more work for less. your kids are safe here but still know who you're talking to before hand."
