About this House

*Seller is licensed real estate broker and will pay buyer’s agent fee*
North woods paradise.
This property is truly a treasure. Over 9.5 acres of rolling forest with over 1000 feet or shore along the French River, not to mention the stunning artisanship of the log and cedar-shake home and garage.
This property is a fairy tale in every season: the quiet stillness of winter, the sounds of birdsong, rushing water and life in the spring and summer, and a vibrant fall canopy of green, gold and orange. Beautiful diversity of wildlife outside your windows, including birch, quaking aspen, sugar maple, fir, spruce, white and red pines, ash, alder, cedar, and more.
Campfires and a cold beverage along the river, afternoon naps in a hammock in the woods, walks along the built trails during the workday for fresh air, and a reviving steam bath in the cedar sauna: a wilderness retreat every day.

There are so many activities to enjoy outside your door! Walking in the woods, fishing for trout in the river, swimming in and ice-skating on the river, tubing around the loop during the summer, snowshoeing along the cliff with views of the house and river… This is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, especially considering the nearly 100 miles of hiking trails within a 30 minute drive and the miles and miles of snowmobile/ATV trails. Conveniently located 20 minutes from Two Harbors and 20 minutes from Duluth, you're never far from amenities.
High-speed internet (60 Mbps) means working from home (or the stunning screened in porch) is a viable option.
The home features dual fuel electric heat, a brand new propane boiler (installed 2019, inspected 2021) with in-floor heat on the first floor and two new EPA-certified efficient wood stoves. Sellers use approximately 800 gallons of propane per year (avg. $107 p/month) and the average electric bill with dual fuel for 2019 and 2020 was $77.64.

The home addition was built in 1989 around the original 1890's log cabin; the original cabin was constructed by loggers working in the area. This piece of history has been updated to include a 3/4 bath, vaulted windows, underfloor heat and a new wood stove.
The front sun room-porch is heated by hydronic heat and makes a terrific sitting area and mud room with ample light for plants.
A 288 square foot screened porch overlooks the woods: sip on coffee in the morning and hear the songbirds, watch deer, porcupine, martin and all of the wildlife the north woods has to offer.
The beautiful log garage has a 420 sf tongue and groove studio above with a chimney for a wood stove, a separate breaker panel to provide plenty of power for a workshop or studio, and low-e windows letting in plenty of light.

Updates since 2019 include:
- New Slant Fin boiler
- New well pressure-tank
- New well cap
- New tile floor, wood stove, loft railing, carpet and library ladder in loft cabin
- Brand new (Feb. '21) ¾ bath off of loft room
- Added 1/4 bath upstairs
- New chicken coop and wood shed
- Garage restoration project with cedar log replacement ($21,000)
- New high efficiency dishwasher
- Fallen trees cleared and trails created throughout property
- Fresh paint throughout
- New sump pumps
- Transfer switch installed for exterior backup generator
- High efficiency shower heads
- Historic cabin painted with high quality exterior paint and gutters added
- Loft cabin and front of house stained
- Gutters added to sauna
- Landscaping improvements
- Douglas fir raised bed garden and fencing built

There is a fishing easement along the shore of the French River for anglers to try their luck.
Owners are deeply saddened to sell but are doing so because their work situations have changed due to COVID.
