Updated Cabin on Lake Shagawa – 5 Private Acres, 700’ Shoreline, and Breathtaking Vistas Stepping onto this property feels like arriving at your own private Boundary Waters campsite only with modern comforts and thoughtful updates. Nestled on 5 acres with a rare 700 ft of shoreline on Lake Shagawa, this Ely gem offers a perfect blend of wild Northwoods beauty and refined cabin living. The lot is a true Northwoods retreat. It is flat and accessible near the water, yet wooded on the front half of the property. There is a trail that winds up to a stunning lookout point showcasing panoramic views of Shagawa Lake. Inside the cabin, you’ll find an updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with charm and craftsmanship throughout. The custom kitchen cabinets, warm finishes, and approachable layout make it both cozy and functional. The crown jewel is the oversized deck. It is ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing in the sun, or soaking in the sounds of the surrounding wilderness. Two bonus structures on the land need a little TLC but add tons of value to this property. One is a guest house perfect for extra bunk room or home office, and a sauna just inches from the shoreline. Finally, a large 2-stall garage provides ample room for all your outdoor gear, boats, and toys. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a basecamp for adventures this cabin is a beauty that has it all. Just minutes from downtown Ely. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a legacy property.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
