A Rare Luxury Retreat at the End of the Gunflint Trail and Lakeside Living on Pristine Gull Lake! Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own a true Northwoods sanctuary at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Set on the crystal-clear shores of Gull Lake—one of Minnesota’s most secluded and unspoiled lakes—this stunning four-bedroom, three-bath home sits on approximately five acres with 467 feet of private frontage, offering unmatched tranquility, world-class fishing, and timeless natural beauty. Very little private property exists on Gull Lake, making this a truly rare find. This property offers the perfect blend of wilderness adventure and refined luxury. Launch a canoe from your dock and paddle into the BWCAW, or fish the very waters where the Minnesota State Record Walleye was caught. After a day of exploration, retreat to the comfort of a beautifully designed home that caters to both relaxation and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a striking tile backsplash, wine rack and cooler, and breakfast bar seating. A window-lined dining area invites natural light and scenic views, while the expansive living room with maple flooring and a stone wood-burning fireplace offers cozy elegance. Patio doors open to a sun-drenched deck overlooking the lake—ideal for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. The main-floor primary suite is a luxurious escape with panoramic lake views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-style, custom-tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower. Guests will enjoy the additional main-floor bedroom with stunning views and full bath featuring a copper sink and tiled tub/shower. Upstairs, find two more inviting bedrooms, a shared bath, and a versatile sunlit bonus room perfect as a studio, office, or media space. Two rustic, primitive guest cabins on the property provide a nostalgic Northwoods experience for visitors seeking a more rugged retreat. Other highlights include a welcoming stone-tiled foyer, a walk-in pantry, laundry room, backup generator system, attached heated garage, and a massive detached heated garage/workshop with ample space for storage, gear, and even a golf net. Whether you're looking for a private year-round residence or an unforgettable family getaway, this property offers the rare chance to live at the end of the trail—where wilderness, comfort, and luxury meet on the shores of one of Minnesota’s most iconic lakes.
