    Description

    Burntside River, Pasture, Woods, Privacy and more....+-1,400' of winding Burntside River make up the southern boundary of this +-14.5 acre property located west of Ely near Burntside Lake. Seller will grant an easement for a new driveway entrance off of the Van Vac road to connect up with an existing driveway that runs through the eastern side of the property down to the river and a bridge. To the west of this driveway is an old pasture that runs all the way down to the rivers edge. This +-6 acres of field could be mowed and converted back to a pasture. Moving further west across the field brings you to the wooded portion of the property and the ideal building site. This part of the property is more elevated with rock outcroppings, pine trees, and southern exposure across the river basin. The setting and location are great for a year round home, seasonal cabin, or hobby farm. Hop on the river to go canoeing, snowmobiling, skiing or walk down to the bridge and catch a few fish for supper.
    xxx Van Vac Rd, Ely, MN 55731 is a lot/land. It last sold for the $84,900 asking price on Jun 30, 2021. 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."
