Ah, the majesty of Lake Superior! And here is 2.1 acres, 371’ of it. Ageless delight of water on rock, surrounded by pristine boreal woods and Minnesota pure air. Ageless, too, in its simultaneous youth and ancientness. The glacier newcomers of 10,000 years ago dug out sediments that filled a basin – a basin from the basement of time! 1.1 billions years ago a rift below the lake almost tore the North American Plate apart, then it mysteriously stopped, leaving an indentation in the earth that could later hold a bunch of water: crystal clear, cold, trout and salmon filled! 3 quadrillion gallons of it! A portion of which happily resides next to this lot for sale, some days caressing the rocks gently, other days massaging deeply with nor’easters. The rock is old, the water new, and your opportunity is now! Nestled near Terrace Pt, about five minutes west of Grand Marais, the location is dreamy. A sleeper of a lot, have to get out and explore this one, there’s more than meets the eye. A couple paths lead to the rocks, and be careful, because you’re going to fall in love! There are little nooks, pools, myriad rocky shapes to delight the eye. The soundscape is spray of windy water, booming curling waves, tinkling ice moving like a freight train as the winter conductor rearranges the flows. Hear too the sylvan, leafy, branchy movements choreographed afresh each day. A home or getaway will be tucked just so, an intimate connection to the lake and commanding views over all of Gitchi Gummi’s ways. The prized and highly localized Thomsonite gem stones are found along this stretch of coast – searching for those is akin to peering deeply into ancient scrolls, looking for wisdom, earth prayers emanating. All the senses expand here: floral breezes in the spring and early summer stimulate the spirit. Big lake air on the skin and through the hair invigorates, reminds a tired soul of youthful forays. On the right days, get crazy, jump in – yowza, that will realign the pulsing energies of your body. Launch a kayak and paddle to the Angry Trout if you’re that type. Of course, simpler to jump in the auto and go grab a pack of World’s Best Donuts, take in a some music at the Tavern, a brew at Voyageur – all the pleasures of Grand Marais so close! The bike path is nearby for exercise and peace. Starts at Cutface Creek, don’t get me started on the wonderous geology of Cutface! Make this parcel your dream come true.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
