Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY to purchase +/- 1000’ shoreline, but even rarer to find on crystal clear Cedar Lake approx. 2 miles from BWCA! Spacious +/- 1500 sq ft cabin situated on +/- 3 acres point adjoins 40 acres of State land; all towering Norway, white pines & cedars. Massive indigenous stone, wood burning fireplace is Great Room’s focal point by evening, but spectacular 180 degrees lake views take over in the morning! Vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring & skylights throughout 2 bedroom/2 bath seasonal home. French doors in Primary Suite leads to spacious screen porch to enjoy early morning coffees. Though expansive, 3-sided wrap around cedar deck is where one spends majority of day if not in/on the lake. Lake side, wood fired sauna with sandy beach. At day’s end, sit by point’s campfire for breathtaking, sunsets over opposing shoreline's unspoiled views (100’s of gov’t acres). Cedar Lake is 465 acres with 45’ of depth, water clarity of 11’. Pristine setting very characteristic of the BW.

    "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."
