About this House

Imagine owning your own private piece of paradise with over 10 acres on Waters Island with a staggering 2,000 feet of pristine shoreline on beautiful Burntside Lake and a rare offering of a separate 2+ acre mainland parcel with 210 feet of shoreline on Van Vac Road for convenient access and extra privacy provided by the massive, towering Pines. Between the Island, and Inland lot, you have two additional building sites AND a Cabin if you wanted to separate the parcels. Wrapped in rustic rough cedar siding, it sits perfectly on the island with breathtaking sunrise views greeting you each day, sitting where an original trappers shack was located. You have 3 docks and 2 additional buildable lots. The 3rd dock in on the 4-acre western parcel on the island and features two benches hand made from fallen trees, one overlooks the west view, and one overlooks the east view. In the cabin, you have cozy window seats line the living room, inviting you to soak in the vast lake views. Upstairs, the loft features beds tucked into the eaves for max space, with two more bedrooms on the main floor. Open floor plan hosts the living room, dining and kitchen all overlooking Burntside. And don't forget the Sauna! Spend your days exploring the island’s wooded trails and picking fresh wild blueberries. Modern conveniences are already in place: power, internet, septic system... Handy shed stores all your lakeside necessities. True legacy property that is being offered for the first time. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful family retreat, a hunting and fishing basecamp, or a private island getaway, look no further. It's time to start living your dreams today.

    "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."
