What's special
After 30 years the Seller of this breathtaking Island Lake lot has decided to pass the torch. Their decision is now your opportunity to stake claim on an ideal parcel on the areas favorite inland lake west of Lake Superior. Locals and nonlocals know how coveted Island Lake Reservoir is! After decades leaseholder finally get to purchase the lots they have been leasing & loving for years. A 15 min drive north of Duluth, it boasts 8,000 sq. ft. of water, w/depths as deep as 94 ft & over 116 miles of shoreline. Island Lake is known for its expansiveness of offering good fishing, outstanding year round recreation all while being tucked away in northern Minnesota's wilderness. If you like lake life, this is the place w/easy access off paved Hwy 4, its close to the lakes only two restaurants & public launches. The lot speaks for itself, slightly tucked away in the nook of a bay the shoreline has a sandy beachfront that gradually increases in elevation to a sunset facing overlook perfect for that dream house or cozy cabin. This peak is high enough to enjoy a panoramic view, but slight enough to make it only 10 easy steps down to the dock. The land has a slight roll, a beautiful maple canopy around the current building site & it's own access down to the shoreline to launch watercrafts, put docks in/out & enjoy a beachside bonfire. The lakeside of the lot is spectacular, but just across the W. Van Road this 3.56 acre parcel also has a large wooded area full of opportunity. Picture a pole building, a guest cabin, parking space for toy storage & even hunting. The property isn't completely unimproved. There is an older 2 car garage, a garden shed & 3-story shell of a house full of building supplies. The Seller didn't finish their vision for the place, but it doesn't mean you can't. Either work with what's there or teardown & start anew. No well or septic to work around either. Truly have a blank canvas. Being sold "AS IS". Buyers are also required to sign a purchase agreement to purchase the land from MN Power. Contact Agent for buyout details.
