About this home
Discover 8.46 acres of classic Northwoods beauty just 2 miles from Ely — the perfect setting for a year-round home, cabin, or private retreat. This property combines rare natural features with practical advantages, offering both wilderness character and everyday convenience. A diverse forest of pine, aspen, and birch stretches across the land, opening to 697 feet of frontage on Longstorff Creek, a scenic waterway that flows directly into Shagawa Lake. Portions of the creek are navigable by canoe or kayak, giving you peaceful access to the surrounding landscape and a quiet connection to the lake system. Longtime locals recall that this parcel once served as a potato farm — an uncommon history in an area known for exposed bedrock and rugged terrain. That past hints at deeper, more workable soils and a landscape unusually well suited for building, gardening, or creating open spaces. Multiple potential building sites allow you to design your ideal layout, whether you envision a tucked away cabin or a home with open views toward the creek. To the north, the property borders U.S. Forest Service land, ensuring lasting privacy and uninterrupted wilderness stretching all the way toward Shagawa Lake. With reliable road access maintained through a road association, reaching the property is easy in every season. This is a rare opportunity to own a large, buildable, water adjacent parcel so close to Ely — a place where privacy, natural beauty, and convenience come together.
