    Description

    Land Ho! Today is the day that you are going to buy a piece of history. This area is rich in culture and offers so much for your future. This parcel of land has been owned by the same owner for decades and it is now available for you! Located high up for nice vistas, and with a gradual sloe to the back of the 10 acres, you will have plenty of room for potential development with privacy and to get away from the action! The lot is thickly wooded and is teeming with wildlife! The Talmadge river runs through the middle of this property. The Talmadge River is mostly in Lakewood Township in St. Louis County, in the more developed region between Duluth and Two Harbors. It has a small watershed (5.4 sq. mi.), forested, with rural residential development scattered throughout. Fishing? There is not much to be found about the Talmadge River as to fishing, however the Talmadge is a MN designated trout stream with the MN DNR, listing Brook and Brown trout in the river. The back 1/2 of the property has beautiful red and white pines that are huge and beautiful! Listen to the wind blow through the needles. The sound is just amazing. The seller states that there was a woman that lived on the property in the distant past and that there may be some old garbage from 40+ years ago and an old shanty located on the property somewhere. There is an old well on the property that was properly closed years ago. The Seller does not have any documentation of the closure, but he knows that it was done property. Listen for the call of the wild. Can you hear it calling your name?
