Located 11 miles north of Ely, just off the renowned Echo Trail, this serene retreat spans 11.46 acres of stunning pink granite and towering century-old White Pines. Constructed in 2016, this 14 x 20 cabin is designed for year-round use, providing a perfect escape from city life and an ideal vantage point for observing the Northern Lights and the expansive northern sky. Nearby, walking access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) enhances the outdoor experience. This "glamping" cabin features wood heating, a propane cooking stove, a sink with a 5-gallon grey water washstand, an 11 x 14 dining/living area, and an 8 x 11 open bedroom. Guests need only to bring potable water and can enjoy a mostly furnished space equipped with essential amenities. The cabin is powered by three 12-volt ceiling fixtures connected to a marine battery, with the option of using a solar charger for year-round battery maintenance. An inviting 6 x 14 deck at the entrance provides seasonal outdoor space for grilling or relaxation. Additionally, an 8 x 14 woodshed with attached 4-wheeler storage, complete with ramps, is fully stocked and ready for use. The property also includes a vaulted privy system, permitted by St. Louis County, which is scheduled for inspection soon. A cozy outdoor firepit area invites gatherings under the starlit sky, allowing for a truly immersive experience in nature. With a gated entry off the Echo Trail, this 11.46-acre property offers abundant privacy and tranquility.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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