About this House

A rare point property on Burntside Lake on Blueberry Island, offering spectacular elevated views in three directions, including western sunset views, across one of northern Minnesota's most pristine lakes. Surrounded by dramatic Canadian Shield glacial rock outcroppings and native forest, this exceptional setting captures the timeless beauty of the Northwoods. The classic 1918 seasonal two bedroom log cabin exudes historic character and authentic charm. An open living and dining area invites relaxed lake living, while the cabin's close proximity to the shoreline creates the remarkable feeling of being on the water. Windows on every side provide cross breeze and soothing sounds of wind and water. A private dock extends into the clear waters of Burntside, perfect for boating, swimming and lakeside relaxation. The property retains its traditional simplicity with propane gas wall heaters, piped-gas overhead mantel lights, a range/oven, and a wood burning fireplace stove. The grey water system, lake water system, and compliant privy preserve the rustic simple island experience. This 1.95+/- acres and 944 +/- ft piece of prime lakeshore is conveniently located a short boat ride from the Van Vac public landing. This extraordinary island retreat offers both seclusion and accessibility, an increasingly rare opportunity on Burntside Lake. $529,000

    "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."
