Description
Exceptional top quality three season Birch Lake cabin located approximately 1 mile from Babbitt on a phenomenal parcel. Property also includes a 2nd multi-use cabin. Both cabins are nestled onto the hillside amidst towering red and white pines, and have panoramic big water views of Birch Lake! At nearly 20 miles long, Birch lake is the longest lake in the entire Ely-Babbitt area, has fantastic fishing, and is bordered largely by federal land. The parcel consists of .93 acres of leased USDA Forest Service land. The main cabin boasts two bedrooms, one bathroom, a combined kitchen and dining area, and a cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace and large windows affording you great lake views. Don’t forget a screened porch also with views of the lake! The cabin comes fully-furnished with quality furnishings such as Lazy Boy recliners, beds, a dining table, kitchen appliances, and much more. You will enjoy the Marvin windows, beautiful wood laminate floors, and vaulted cedar tongue and groove ceilings! The bonus multi-use building includes a rec area, laundry room, bathroom with shower, as well as a fully equipped workshop. Both buildings have electric baseboard heating and 20-gallon water heaters. The lake water system utilizes a Seagull water purifier. Stay connected with fiber optic high speed internet and Wi-Fi. Great place to work on line from the lake!! Included with the sale is a newly acquired 52' Floe dock and 3600# boat lift with 24' canopy, an electric log splitter, and Snapper battery powered lawn mower. This property is truly ready to step into with everything you need! There is also a convenient and fun paved bike trail to Babbitt and to the public beach and boat launch! This lease property is part of the “Recreation Residence Program” which was established by Congress in 1915 to facilitate recreation experiences in National Forests. This property is the perfect 3-season get-away location on the lake!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI really like this school. It's a smaller school with most classes being a nice ratio of student per teacher. All the kids are friendly to each other and respectful of the adults. They lack in sports/activities due to size and finances but you have quirks everywhere you go. I chose for my kids to go there. We are in a different school district (Mesabi East) but I refuse to let them go there.Parent Review14y ago - Northeast Range Secondary
