    Description

    Recreational land just west of Ely and adjacent on two sides to hundreds of acres of county land. Land is mostly low with a mix of tree cover and open areas with trails . This is a great hunting property, or a place to simply get away from it all. There are possible building sites with one closer to the highway in the NE corner of the property in a stand of mature aspen with a few pine, and a higher area in the middle of the property which would require a wetland crossing for road access. Former owner has a trail to this location with some wooden boardwalk in place. There is a creek in the SW part of the property. Property adjoins Highway 169 for year-round accessibility and access to electric power. The Mesabi Bike Trail goes along the highway for enhanced recreational possibilities!

      "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."
