S Caribou Dr, Lutsen, MN 55612

Beautiful Upland Maple Forest in Lutsen MN! Lots of maples! 30 plus acres. High, dry land with potential for very sweet views both toward Lake Superior and Caribou Lake. And, speaking of “sweet,” imagine the sap flowing next spring! Tap into it and produce some Lutsen Gold! Right at the corner of the Caribou Tr and South Caribou Dr, the locale could not be more central to all the fun, activities and good living in Cook County MN, up in the pure Northwoods, along America’s North Coast. The Superior Hiking Tr borders the north line! For those seeking privacy, head back to the high point of the land, well away from it all, and put some roots down. Or, if a new owner wants to develop some land, there are few better options. Currently, the land is five separate parcels. One more could possibly be created. With a recent zoning change, even more building sites could be contemplated than the number of parcels. Check with Cook County Land Services to learn more. There is a lot of room, land, dreaming and scheming that can happen here. The paved Caribou Tr and the well-maintained S Caribou Dr border the land for many access options as well as convenience to power and fiber optic. Ever lived in a maple forest? Summer is cool and shady, oven bird and indigo bunting singing. Fall explodes with color and the delight of leafy, windy, crackling sounds – ever try catching a falling leaf? Harder than it sounds… Winter is wide open light, maples popping in the deep, pristine, cold like a gunshot. In Spring an incredible bit of alchemy manifests as various salamanders and frogs somehow thaw out, crawl to the surface and witness the profusion of spring beauties that bloom before the canopy develops. Warblers passing through are a jewel box emptied from above. The owners acquired this land a while ago, when good, dry parcels were still available. Compare to other current options for larger tracts – nothing is quite as appealing. And what better place to invest some dollars than Cook County MN? Very desirable place to be, yet only 9% of the County is private land. The air is cool and clear. Maple forests are stable, not prone to disruption from disease or forest fire. This is a good one! Come have a walk, take a seat on a moss-covered boulder, imagine the possibilities.
