About this home

Discover your Northwoods retreat nestled in the heart of Finland, Minnesota. This spacious 4-bedroom, 1-bath single-family home blends rustic character with modern conveniences, all set amidst natural surroundings. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence or a peaceful getaway, this property offers space, privacy, and endless possibilities. Step inside to an inviting open-concept main floor where the kitchen, dining area, and living room flow seamlessly—perfect for gatherings with family and friends. The main level features the primary bedroom and a generously sized hallway with floor-to-ceiling storage. Hardwood floors lie beneath some of the carpeting, ready to be uncovered and restored. The living room is filled with natural light from large windows that frame tranquil views of the landscape. Several windows have been updated with vinyl for improved energy efficiency while preserving the home’s original charm. A small office area provides a quiet, dedicated space for remote work or study. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms—affectionately named the Antique Room, Sunflower Room, and Bear Room—along with another wide hallway complete with built-in storage. The unfinished walk-out basement adds convenient access for storage and future potential. Set on an impressive 17.6 acres with approximately 1,600 feet of frontage on the Baptism River, this property offers a rare connection to nature. Spend hot summer days cooling off in the river, or unwind along the shoreline while enjoying the soothing sounds of flowing water. Adding even more value and flexibility is a separate building site that once housed four small hotel units. Already equipped with an artesian well, septic system, electricity, and phone service, this area is ready for your vision—whether that’s glamping cabins, rental units, or a creative retreat space. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the 30x48 Miracle Truss pole building, ideal for storing vehicles, equipment, and recreational toys. With nearby snowmobile and ATV trails, plus easy access to hiking and biking, this area is an adventurer’s dream. Enjoy day trips to Ely, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and Lake Superior—all within reach. This unique Finland property offers privacy, riverfront living, and unmatched versatility. Rarely does a home combine this much land, water frontage, and opportunity in one package. Schedule your showing today and experience the potential of this remarkable North Shore retreat.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
