About this home
Set on 193 feet of private Bluewater Lake shoreline with commanding lake views from its bluff-top setting, this 3,581-square-foot custom hand-carved log home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and year-round recreation. Nestled on 1.43 wooded acres, the property is located on the coveted Wabana Chain of Lakes, one of Itasca County's premier lake systems. A private 100-foot tram provides easy access between the home and shoreline, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a bluff-top location while remaining effortlessly connected to the water. Filled with natural light and framed by expansive windows, the home showcases lake views from nearly every room. The living and dining rooms feature dramatic 20-foot vaulted ceilings, while the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and loft also feature vaulted ceilings that enhance the home's open and airy feel. Exposed log craftsmanship, thoughtful architectural details, and a striking stone fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere reflecting the timeless appeal of log home living. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area where the lake becomes part of the living experience. A spacious primary bedroom, guest bedroom, full bath, sunroom, and gardening room with skylight provide comfortable and versatile living spaces. Just outside, a patio perched on the bluff offers a peaceful setting to relax, dine, or take in the beauty of the lake below. Above the main living area, a loft bedroom overlooks the great room below and features its own half bath and lake views, creating a unique and comfortable space for family or guests. The finished walkout lower level includes a large family room, a ¾ bath featuring a traditional sauna, and a dedicated gym and workshop. The gym could easily be converted into a spacious fourth bedroom. Outside, 193 feet of sandy-bottom shoreline and a private dock create an ideal setting for boating, fishing, swimming, and quiet evenings on the water. Bluewater Lake is renowned for its striking turquoise color, exceptional water clarity, and depths reaching approximately 120 feet. The lake offers excellent fishing for trout, walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish. The private dock accommodates multiple watercraft and includes racks for a canoe, kayaks, and paddleboards. Additional features include a detached 3-car log garage with loft storage, a large shed, woodshed, and a private road shared by only three other homes. Directly across the road, the Chippewa National Forest provides protected wilderness, while extensive state and national forest shoreline throughout the Wabana Chain helps preserve the area's natural beauty, privacy, and limited development for years to come. Whether as a year-round residence or a seasonal getaway, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of northern Minnesota's most beautiful lake settings.
