Experience true Northwoods living at Ely Log Cabin, a hand-built log home set on 40 private acres just 15 minutes from downtown Ely and nearby 2 Minnesota state parks. This 864 sq ft off-grid cabin offers modern comforts including a 3/4 indoor bathroom with a flushing toilet and shower (full well and septic), solar power, and WiFi — a rare find for an off-grid property. The main cabin features vaulted ceilings, a Jøtul gas fireplace, an efficient kitchen setup with propane cooktop and fridge, and a sleeping loft with two queen beds overlooking the forest valley. A second structure, the Dovetail Cabin, offers additional sleeping space or studio potential, with its own road access and outhouse. Enjoy peaceful forest views, bird sounds, and miles of private hiking trails right on the property. This is a true retreat surrounded by nature, with easy access to nearby lakes and outdoor recreation. Wolves have been heard howling and grouse, deer, and even bear sightings aren’t uncommon on this incredible land with huge cliff faces and a creek right on the 40 acres.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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