Property Description
Escape to the peace and beauty of 25-acre spring-fed Big Trout Lake with this charming 3-bedroom cabin, offered mostly furnished so you can move right in and start enjoying lake life. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors reclaimed from an old high school gymnasium, adding warmth, character, and a unique conversation piece to the home. Relax after a day on the water in the traditional sauna with shower, gather around the firepit in the evening, or unwind in the screened house while taking in the tranquil surroundings. The property also features a 1-car garage, metal roof, private dock, shed, and an outhouse for added convenience. Enjoy the sandy and gravel shoreline with excellent swimming or launch your boat from the nearby public lake access. Two paddle boats, a rowboat, and most furnishings are included, making this a true turnkey retreat. Nestled in a quiet, sparsely populated lake community, this property offers outstanding opportunities to experience nature at its finest. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of deer, bald eagles, hawks, ducks, owls, turtles, and resident loons, creating the perfect setting for a peaceful Up North getaway. The cabin has a point well. The septic is unknown and has never been pumped. The gas lights are still up in the cabin. The road has year-round residence that keep the road open
