Walls of glass frame breathtaking lake views throughout the grand living room, where soaring vaulted ceilings, rich wood floors, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling flagstone fireplace create a warm yet sophisticated gathering space. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into a well appointed gourmet kitchen featuring granite surfaces, custom maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and double ovens; ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The dining area, adorned with a pine tongue-and-groove ceiling, opens to an inviting screened porch—perfect for enjoying tranquil mornings and sunset evenings. The main level primary suite is a serene lakeside retreat, complete with private deck access and a spa-inspired bath showcasing a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a generous closet. A striking custom staircase leads to an airy loft overlooking the water, currently curated as an office and creative studio, while the walk-out lower level offers two additional lakeside bedrooms, a spacious great room with a second stone fireplace, and a sauna suite with dressing area. Recent upgrades include a dual-fuel in-floor heating system and twin tankless water heaters, ensuring year round comfort and efficiency. The property is equally equipped for recreation and storage with both attached and detached garages. A short path leads to the impressive 40x60 “dream barn,” thoughtfully designed with abundant natural light, durable smart siding, a metal roof, dual 12-foot doors, and an expansive 60' x 10' cement lakeside patio; ideal for housing recreational vehicles, workshop space, or future customization. The barn is plumbed for portable propane heaters. Surrounded by mature pines, curated gardens, and manicured grounds that gently descend to the water’s edge, this exceptional property lies along the coveted White Iron Chain of Lakes, with direct access to the renowned Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, offering an unparalleled Northwoods lifestyle defined by privacy, beauty, and adventure.

  • Derek H.
    "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."
