Buried Gem In Hiawatha National Forest

If you're looking for a place to escape the world's problems, look no further. This underground home sits on Joel Creek and is 100% surrounded by Hiawatha National Forest. Watch the creek flow and wildlife meander through its large canvasing windows in the living room and both bedrooms. Its large open areas provide room to visit with guests, while tucked away nooks are a great place to work from home or curl up with a book. Large Pine and Hemlock timbers sourced from the property support the roof, complementing the rugged Lake Superior stone fireplace. It provides all the comforts of home yet could easily be converted into off-grid living. The 40'x60' pole building provides ample storage to protect all of your up-north toys. The 20'x32' heated workshop found within provides a great workspace during winter's harsh months to craft, build, and tinker. The kitchen, bathroom, bartop, and rollup door found within the workshop provide a great layout for hosting large gatherings and family reunions. Located at the entrance of the property sits a Quonset hut. These guest quarters with full kitchen and bathroom have historically generated additional income as a short-term vacation rental, with room to sleep 7-8 individuals comfortably. 1,500+/- ft of Joel Creek runs through the deep cut of the property, shielded by old-growth Hemlock, Cedar, Pines, and Yellow Birch. Its gravel bottom and cool, clean waters are home to Brook Trout and the occasional Steelhead. On top of the ridge overlooking the creek, you'll find a vast array of trails to walk, ride, and relax. Enjoy nature's bounty by growing your own food in the two garden areas, hunting and trapping the bountiful area, or possibly catching a brook trout for dinner from your front yard. Not many places like this exist where you can step any direction off the property and not be trespassing. Don't miss your opportunity to step foot onto this one.
