Charming A-frame cabin on Long Island in Lake Vermilion offering 487 feet of shoreline and approximately 2.0 acres with water access on two sides. Built in 2019, this 20x24 cabin with a 10x12 loft features one bedroom plus additional sleeping space, new electric service, and a functional setup including a mini fridge and mini freezer. The property is located in a protected bay off Stuntz Bay, providing reliable access even in less favorable weather conditions and just a short 5-minute boat ride from the mainland.
The cabin offers a warm, modern-rustic feel with vaulted ceilings and natural wood finishes, creating a comfortable retreat for extended stays or seasonal use. An outhouse is on site, and the property has been approved for septic installation with two potential locations identified, offering excellent future improvement potential.
A separate 12x20 sauna and sitting room building is framed and weather-tight, with construction started in 2025. The 8x12 sauna area is ready for completion and includes a Lamppa Manufacturing sauna stove (not yet installed). The additional space provides flexibility for a gathering area, lounge, or recreation space.
Docking includes a Pier of d’Nort tip-in dock extending approximately 24 feet beyond the platform, ideal for boating and enjoying the lake. The property offers excellent fishing and a peaceful Northwoods setting with mature white pine trees, 200+ year old cedar trees, and natural privacy.
Additional features include a private archaeological site located on the property, adding unique historical character. With low monthly electric costs and reasonable property taxes, this property presents a strong opportunity as a seasonal retreat or potential vacation rental.
