Description

Experience the magic of the Minnesota North Shore, at this A-frame sanctuary, tucked in among old growth, conifers, and just steps away from Lake superior —and just steps away from Lake Superior beach without the higher taxes. Set along the scenic stretch of E Hwy 61 in Hovland, this property blends rustic charm, natural abundance, and true Northwoods living. A seasonal creek winds through the land, blooming with marsh marigolds in the spring, and a small bridge leads you into trails perfect for hiking, skiing, and exploring. These paths guide you to hidden waterfalls and a secluded swimming hole where the only company is woodland wildlife. The property is rich with medicinal plants and established fruiting trees, including elderberry, apple, plum, and high-bush cranberry. Inside, the home welcomes you with a spacious mudroom offering a large closet for all your outdoor gear. From there, move through the kitchen and into the open living and dining area, featuring bamboo floors and direct access to a screened-in porch—an ideal spot to enjoy the forest’s quiet rhythms. Upstairs, cathedral ceilings frame 2½ bedrooms, one with a Lake Superior view and another overlooking the foothills and forest, where moose, bear, and ravens are frequent visitors. The home includes a detached garage for vehicles, tools, and outdoor equipment, and the expansive yard offers room for gardening or play. Recent updates include a new energy-efficient furnace and a new septic system, providing a solid foundation for someone ready to bring creativity and care to this rustic retreat. With direct access to Highway 61, you’re minutes from Lake Superior’s rocky beaches, the Superior Hiking Trail, Judge C.R. Magney State Park, and the countless outdoor adventures that make Hovland such a sought-after destination. Grand Marais is a scenic drive away for dining, arts, and amenities. Perfect for those seeking inspiration, simplicity, and a deeper connection to nature, this North Shore A-frame offers peace, privacy, and the rare magic of living among the wild.
