Escape to the Northwoods with this outstanding 100-acre recreational property near Makinen. Conveniently located on a public road with utilities available along the frontage, this versatile tract offers privacy, usability, and direct access to some of northern Minnesota’s best outdoor recreation. With no covenants or deed restrictions, the possibilities here are wide open—whether you’re looking for a hunting property, weekend getaway, future cabin site, or long-term land investment.
The land features a strong internal trail system providing excellent access throughout the property. Rolling terrain and mostly high ground are complemented by a healthy mix of mature pine and poplar timber, creating an ideal setting for wildlife and year-round enjoyment. Near the road, a cleared building area is already established and includes an existing sauna building along with a unique bunkhouse currently set up as a bar and gathering space.
One of the property’s standout features is its western border adjoining more than 30,000 contiguous acres of State of Minnesota land, providing exceptional access to hunting, hiking, trail riding, and endless exploration right out your back door. Despite the secluded feel, the location remains highly accessible—less than three hours from the Twin Cities and under an hour from Duluth. Hard-to-find large acreage tracts with this combination of privacy, improvements, access, and public land adjacency rarely come available. Come check out this unique acreage in the big woods on northern Minnesota !!!
