Welcome to The Boreal Hut! Yes, this is a 40+ acre parcel with a 100+ year old hand hewn homestead on those 40+ acres. It is however, much more than just land and a structure. This homestead can never be re-created. You cannot fast forward 70+ year old red pines, tamarack, black spruce and mosses thousands of years old. Nor can you recreate a log home that has seen the seasons come and go over the past 100+ years. It simply cannot be done. . If you are looking for peace, beauty, sights, smells, sounds and touches of the boreal forest, look no further than The Boreal Hut. If only to look out the window with a cup of tea, go for a walk in the red pines, a ski in the bog, listen to the owls, or pick wildflowers in the meadow, we welcome you to our part of the North Woods.
