Just south of Sugarloaf Cove, and overlooking Lake Superior, are 40 acres of elbow room awaiting a new owner, a lover of the North Shore, a steward looking for a nice chunk of the Northwoods! Hard to find a large acreage parcel, easily accessible, and pitched just so to provide evocative, energizing views of the The Big Lake. Current owners have provided a good start: put the driveway in, cleared a build-site, set up the firepit, heck they even planted a few apple trees. So much beautiful rock lurks in the gravels and underbrush in our country. A thoughtful pile of those beauties await the next owner’s Stonehenge aspirations. Cedar, birch, balsam, spruce, sprawl out, inviting druidic wanderings and wonderings. Over 100+ years ago, a large fire swept over the North Shore. The evidence of that epic blaze is mostly relegated to the history books. But, here and there on this parcel are charred cedar stumps, carbonized jewels, remnants telling a story from long ago. Resistant to rot, they remain, reminding us of resilience, the regenerative forested landscape that was set in motion 10,000 years ago when the last of the glaciers finally gave way. It’s an evocative landscape, a place to slowly get to know over time. Begin with a little getaway place, put your own touches on the land. Or make it the homestead. Lots of good southern exposure for a veggie garden, or cooling in the Gitchi Gummee breezes on the deck after a sauna. The lake is so close you’ll hear all its ways: grinding its teeth in November, booming winter rollers, tingling in early spring as the ice breaks up and whispering summer zephyrs: cool, leafy and dreamy - away from all that obnoxious heat just to the south. Get to know Sugarloaf Cove, a public access point to a dramatic Lake Superior park: trails, interpretation, etc. The land is centrally located so that forays to Grand Marais, Lutsen are easy and shooting back to Silver Bay for the summer music festival is easy! Come have a look, stand in the middle of your own 40, deep and away from the cares and worries of modern life.
