Description

Discover the unmatched charm and craftsmanship of this high-quality, one-owner log home set on 2.35 beautifully maintained acres. With over 2, 500 finished square feet, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and meticulous care. The home is positioned on rolling and level terrain surrounded by perennial gardens, apple trees, a Christmas tree plantation, 150-year-old white pines, slate rock outcrops, rock landscaping, wildlife-friendly features, and thoughtfully placed drain tiling. Enjoy a newer metal roof (2018), maintenance-free decking on the front and rear entries, a walkout basement, and an east-facing rear patio perfect for morning sun. The craftsmanship throughout is extraordinary—the upper level was built using boards milled from salvaged Tamarack logs from the St. Louis River, vaulted living room logs were reclaimed from a 100-year-old hay barn, and additional structural lumber came from Duluth’s historic Elevator 8 terminal. Inside, the rooms are spacious and bright with deep window sills, custom treatments, built-ins, and abundant storage. The walkout level includes a workshop/bonus room that could serve as a 5th bedroom, an immaculate utility room, and a nearly soundproof apartment featuring a full kitchen, living/dining area with custom Lori bed, ¾ bath, and a legal egress bedroom—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental opportunities. Outside, the property offers a 2-car garage, pole building, additional outbuildings, a log garden shed/playhouse, boiler shed, sandbox beneath the deck, volleyball posts with cement inserts, clothesline, tree swings, compost site, scaffolding, and a full RV hookup. A remote-controlled antenna provides excellent TV reception, and multiple security/motion lights offer peace of mind. The home sits 120 feet off County Road 3 with minimal traffic noise, and a new pickleball court is being installed across the street. You’ll also enjoy quick access to paved hiking/biking/snowmobile trails, Jay Cooke State Park, and Carlton’s local conveniences. The property is served by city water and sewer, natural gas, a Trane forced-air furnace with central air and newer heat pump, high-efficiency water heater, and optional wood boiler system. The sellers have meticulously documented every detail of the home’s systems for the next owners. Make an appointment today to see this beautiful home!
