Description

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own private frontage on a wilderness lake. This is the kind of place you dream about owning, where everything slows down as soon as you turn off the highway and onto the two-track. It’s the perfect setting to focus on what truly matters—family, friends, and inner peace. Picture yourself reacting to the first grouse flush of the season in September, or getting steadier with your dog for the same opportunity in December. Whether you’re pondering where to be for deer opener, trying for a bear tag next fall, or deciding between an afternoon spent on a trout stream or in a canoe fishing for walleye, this property offers all that and more. Located at the edge of the 73,000-acre Michigamme Highlands, this rare property is the only private frontage on a wilderness lake, completely surrounded by Nature Conservancy old-growth forest. The area is untouched and open to hunting, fishing, canoeing, and every quiet sport you desire. With only a few designated ATV and snowmobile trails—placed to minimize impact on wildlife and sportsmen—your access to this remote paradise is as pristine as it gets. Your exclusive, gated access—shared only with land management personnel—winds through 5 sections of beautiful Precambrian upland forests, hidden lakes, bogs, and streams. This journey brings you to Loon Lake, the Conservancy’s “jewel,” with its high-altitude, spring-fed waters. The lake spans approximately 1-1/4 miles in length and is accessible by air for those lucky enough to enjoy that rare privilege. While the property’s inaccessibility kept lumbermen away from harvesting valuable Bird’s Eye Maple, this preservation allowed the trees to grow to massive proportions, as they have in the remote Huron Mountain locations. The land also boasts mostly high ground, overlooking an ancient, deep, spring-fed beaver pond that forms one of two tributaries flowing toward the West Branch of the Sturgeon River, just 1/4 mile from the cabin. A short walk down the two-track leads to a much larger tributary, where Brook trout spawn in the fall. With public lands extending for miles to the north, this is a true haven for nature lovers and sportsmen alike. The hand-hewn log cabins are surrounded by more public land than you’ll ever have time to explore. This is a rare opportunity you must see to truly appreciate.
