Set on 10 pristine acres in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest, this extraordinary estate delivers the kind of privacy, scale, and craftsmanship that rarely comes available in Northern Minnesota. Surrounded by mature pines and adjoining public land, the property offers a true sense of seclusion while still being just 25 miles from Grand Rapids. Manicured trails wind throughout the acreage, creating a private outdoor escape perfect for walking, riding, or simply enjoying the stillness of the Northwoods. With direct access to ATV routes and snowmobile trails, this is a four-season recreational basecamp. The home itself is a showpiece—offering over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Expansive windows throughout flood the interior with natural light and create a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Hardwood flooring and in-floor heat provide both warmth and comfort, while three functional fireplaces on the main level add timeless character. At the heart of the home, the custom kitchen is built for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a double oven, propane cooktop, and generous workspace. The main residence includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, highlighted by a luxurious primary suite complete with a full bath, separate soaking tub, tiled shower, and walk-in closet. An attached 1 bedroom, 1 bath mother-in-law suite offers flexibility for guests, extended family, or private living quarters. Two attached two-stall garages provide abundant storage for vehicles, tools, and recreational equipment. Outside, the setting continues to impress. Thoughtfully landscaped with established perennials, a fenced garden, and a large garden shed, the property blends natural beauty with functional living. The home offers undeniable curb appeal with a strong “wow factor” from the road, while maintaining the privacy you expect from a wooded estate. Properties of this caliber, offering space, quality finishes, and direct access to thousands of acres of public land, are few and far between.
