Description

Experience true Northwoods living at Ely Log Cabin, a hand-built log home set on 40 private acres just 15 minutes from downtown Ely and nearby 2 Minnesota state parks. This 864 sq ft off-grid cabin offers modern comforts including a 3/4 indoor bathroom with a flushing toilet and shower (full well and septic), solar power, and WiFi — a rare find for an off-grid property. The main cabin features vaulted ceilings, a Jøtul gas fireplace, an efficient kitchen setup with propane cooktop and fridge, and a sleeping loft with two queen beds overlooking the forest valley. A second structure, the Dovetail Cabin, offers additional sleeping space or studio potential, with its own road access and outhouse. Enjoy peaceful forest views, bird sounds, and miles of private hiking trails right on the property. This is a true retreat surrounded by nature, with easy access to nearby lakes and outdoor recreation. Wolves have been heard howling and grouse, deer, and even bear sightings aren’t uncommon on this incredible land with huge cliff faces and a creek right on the 40 acres.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from September 08, 2025

    "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."
