Welcome to your own island of peace and tranquility, 40 secluded acres surrounded by public property, offering unmatched privacy and a true connection to nature. This off-grid haven features a beautifully crafted two-bedroom, two-bath home built with exquisite timber framing and energy-efficient structural insulated panels. An efficient and reliable operational system powers all the modern conveniences including Wi-Fi, denying the fact that this place is totally off-grid. Take in the breathtaking view of the Swamp River valley from the spacious living and dining areas. Open the windows or relax on the deck to enjoy the soothing sounds of the river and the songs of local birds. An ample room with patio door to the deck and windows all around potentially serves as hobby space, den, studio, office, you name it. The kitchen is warm and welcoming, featuring rich hardwood cabinetry and an abundance of natural light. Adjacent to it, a walk-in pantry connects to the main-floor laundry, which also opens to the main entry. A ¾ bath and generous storeroom complete the main floor. At the top of the stairs is a great space for lounging or exercise equipment. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and those same spectacular valley views. A second bedroom, currently used as an office, offers additional flexible space. Outdoors, a two-stall garage/carriage house includes workshop space and solar battery storage. The upper level is ready to be finished into a separate living space, with plans for a kitchen, bath, and balcony with patio doors. Equestrians and hobby farmers will appreciate the well-equipped barn, which offers two more garage bays, horse stalls, hay storage, and a large, fenced arena. Explore your own network of trails or easily access nearby wilderness adventures on the Superior Hiking Trail and the Border Route Trail. Property is in close proximity to some spectacular BWCA access points, snowmobile & atv trails, many fishing lakes, biking trails - there are endless recreational options!
