About this House

Beautiful one owner, custom built 2 bedroom, 2 bath home offering exceptional privacy on 11 wooded acres with 77 feet of Blueberry Lake shoreline. Bordered on two sides by public land, a short hike to the main body of Blueberry Lake. This special Northwoods property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, lake access, and additional living space. The main level welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, south facing windows that fill the home with natural light, warm wood floors, custom built-ins, and a freestanding wood stove. The open concept living room flows naturally into the kitchen and dining area. A lovely south facing screened porch, accessible from both the living room and main-level bedroom, provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings. A full bathroom and laundry area complete the main level. Upstairs, an open vaulted loft offers flexible space for an office, workout area, reading nook, or whatever suits your needs, while providing beautiful views of the surrounding woods. The spacious primary bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, 3/4 bath, and private deck overlooking the forest and lake. The home is served by a compliant 2-bedroom septic system. Outside, you'll find a one-stall garage with a heated workshop and ample storage. A separate, practical year round guest home provides even more versatility, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, along with a brand-new compliant holding tank. It's ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. And there's more: an original 10' x 10' dovetail wood-burning sauna with an 8' x 10' changing room adds an exceptional touch to this one of a kind Northwoods property. With 11 wooded acres, 77 feet of lake frontage, public land bordering two sides, a custom-built home, year-round guest accommodations, garage/workshop space, and a classic wood burning sauna, this is a truly special opportunity to own a private Blueberry Lake retreat.

    "Ely is surrounded by forests and it’s a lovely, peaceful place to reside. There are wonderful restaurants, shops, a great movie theater and a variety of outdoor activities to choose from year round. "
  • Derek H.
    "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 . "
  • Jennifer P.
    "Don't move here if you don't like being out in the woods. ppl on this town take care of each other. even if you're new. as long as you show you want to be part of Ely. "
  • Jennifer P.
    "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."
  • Rvhall
    "There is no public transport in this neighborhood , but Arrowhead transport does run in town for a nominal fee and there are weekly trips to Virginia Mn."
  • Lora L.
    "We have cab service and in town bus service. It’s a 25 block walk from first place in town to last. Generally, the city park,police,fire,library dot,and shopping district are within 8 blocks from anywhere."
