71 Benedict Ln, Lutsen, MN 55612

Property Description

Beyond unique, this outstanding and creative log home was skillfully crafted using 200+ year old giant MN native white cedar logs. With 7.11 acres & over 500' of shoreline, you'll enjoy total privacy the minute you drive in. With a true old forest setting and an expansive waterfront experience on the shores of pristine Pike Lake, you'll enjoy northwest sunsets and room on the property to explore and expand. The property has space and the infrastructure to build other structures — envision a "buildable legacy!" The septic system is already sized for more bedrooms and future structures/guest cabins. This is a rare place to see and own for log cabin enthusiasts – a living showcase of traditional craftsmanship rarely found today. Such care was taken in the build of this cabin – inside and outside. You'll appreciate that the logs were hand cut, air dried and hand peeled – with skylights bringing in the light! Notice the Vermont Slate floors (w/ in-floor heat in place) and walk-in shower, the meticulous placement and use of natural stone, the custom-built doors, windows & cabinets, shelving & furniture - and interior and exterior crystal light fixtures. The restored vintage kitchen appliances and fixtures stunningly reflect a true 1930s vintage cabin feel, yet you'll enjoy the modern conveniences of a dishwasher, a washer/dryer, broadband, an air exchanger, a compliant septic system (ready for an additional cabin) and a drilled well. Also, you'll enjoy the trail that leads to the private campsite (complete w/ electricity!) along the shore and the trail that wraps around back to the log home. There's so much opportunity at this truly one-of-a-kind piece of the North Shore. Please make sure to see the "FINER POINTS" supplement under associated documents. This property is remarkable!
