Awesome Gunflint Tr home on wild and scenic Little Iron Lake. 2017 built home: 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 stall garage, sprawling deck, wraparound covered porch and a spacious screen porch with stone fireplace! 3100 sq ft. Serenity is central to this property in the quiet Northwoods with 1300+ ft of frontage and 5.6 acres - plenty of elbow room! Little Iron is surrounded by public land. Only six private properties abut the lake and two are water access only – very quiet here. Little Iron meanders into bays, channels and connects to Iron Lake. Also, easy access to Tucker Lake, a portion of which is in the BWCA and numerous BWCA entry points are nearby. A day of boating from your private dock to the east end of Iron to the west end of Tucker covers miles of Boreal Forest. In the winter, the snowmobile trail is just down the road. The home is an energy efficient hybrid of log and stick frame construction providing great thermal mass, charm and warmth of logs. All sits on a bombproof ICF foundation. Infloor heat off-peak boiler is easy on the pocketbook. Inside, the home is natural elegance: log posts and beams soar and support, stone tiles combine in the flooring and baths, two large field-stone fireplaces anchor the home. A crackling fire in the porch fireplace in early spring, cool fall, or chilly summer nights is a dream come true - you will live out there! It’s the place to get to know your neighbors: moose, marten, fox, warblers, loon calls reverberating off the walls. Interior finishes were chosen with beauty and durability in mind: Hickory kitchen cabinets, Australian Cypress flooring, Cambria countertops in baths and kitchen. The main entry is welcoming, and guests are immediately drawn to the wall of glass in the living room overlooking the lake. Cathedral log beam ceiling in this space elevates the mind. A tasteful, practical entry is the back mudroom combined with laundry – spacious and complete with stone tiled pet cleaning station! All has been well planned here, dear reader, just needs you! And anything you want to do in the kitchen will be handled easily: loads of cabinet space, top notch appliances, commodious pantry. Primary bedroom with ensuite bath and ample walk-in closet overlooks woods and water. Upstairs are two large private bedrooms. A cathedral, lofted area plays as a living room with a cute dormer office space. 36x34 garage houses it all, handy woodshed for firewood, neat floating dock system, wildfire sprinkler system.
