This stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom log home is privately nestled in the woods on a peaceful 9-acre lot along the scenic shores of Balsam Lake. Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, it’s the perfect year-round getaway for those seeking tranquility and a connection to nature. Enjoy 226 feet of sandy lake frontage, a 12x8 boathouse, and a private VRDO 6-foot-wide dock—ideal for swimming, fishing, or relaxing by the water. Balsam Lake is renowned for its clear water, spanning 700+ acres and offering excellent fishing and paddling opportunities. It connects to Scrapper and Haskell Lakes, perfect for peaceful canoeing and kayaking. The property includes a 36x30 oversized Morton building with roughed-in plumbing and a separated concrete slab, offering potential for added living or workshop space. An overhang provides additional covered storage for gear and equipment. Outdoor enthusiasts will love direct access to miles of ATV and snowmobile trails and nearby Chippewa National Forest. The Mesabi Trail, a 150-mile paved biking route, is just 30 minutes away. Inside, the main-level living room features a Vermont Castings wood stove and ceiling fan, while the kitchen offers tile flooring, knotty alder cabinetry, a peninsula with breakfast bar, and natural light from a skylight. The adjacent dining room opens to a screened-in porch and refinished wraparound deck with stunning lake views. The main-floor primary bedroom offers vaulted ceilings, scenic views, and close proximity to a ¾ bath with walk-in shower and custom alder cabinetry. The lower level includes a second bedroom with private ¾ bath, a cozy family room with walkout to a 35x10 concrete patio, and a firepit area for relaxing evenings. A spacious laundry and storage area with lake access presents potential for a third bedroom with walkout. Recent updates include a new septic system (2022), ridge cap roof upgrade (2023), new basement lighting and ceiling tiles (2024), selective log repairs (2022), and a well-maintained exterior. Additional features include a Generac backup generator, Andersen doors and windows, and beautifully kept landscaping. Combining rustic charm, comfort, and outdoor adventure, this log home is the perfect lakeside escape.
