    Description

    Rugged & beautiful, this outstanding northwoods parcel is +-42 acres of rolling terrain with ledgerock outcroppings & great elevated views. Just as diverse is the mixture of mature tree coverage. It is understandable how this parcel has remained within one family since the late 1800’s; purchased during Ely’s youth! Lower terrain running through the center of the tract would allow for trails/driveway to the south & higher elevations where great vistas overlook the abutting gov’t lands. Located just outside Ely’s western city limits, it will be within easy access to the new recreational trailhead & just minutes to Shagawa Lake! This is an ideal setting for either developing your new home or just merely to use as your Ely playground!
    TBD Hwy 169, Ely, MN 55731 is a lot/land. It last sold for $80,000 on Sep 20, 2019 (20% below the $99,900 asking price). It is currently off market.

      "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."
