Hovland, what a groovy little town on the edge of the biggest lake around and less than 20 minutes from the Grand Marais harbor!

Come have a look at this sweet abode on 2.4 acres. Right at the corner of the Arrowhead Tr and the North Rd, it is conveniently located and just a hop skip to natural wonders, community or heck, head...Hovland, what a groovy little town on the edge of the biggest lake around and less than 20 minutes from the Grand Marais harbor! The Arrowhead Trail is the Gateway to sprawling forests, lakes, trails and solitude. Affordability alert! Can’t find a home in Cook County to fit your budget? Here you go! Come have a look at this sweet abode on 2.4 acres. Right at the corner of the Arrowhead Tr and the North Rd, it is conveniently located and just a hop skip to natural wonders, community or heck, head on up to Canada – it’s not far. Just a stroll down the North Rd is the singing Flute Reed River. Walking also works to the townhall, church and store! Yet, with your own acreage and forest, feels like Northwoods living! Former owner has a little food-patch garden ready for your vision. There’s a terrific half garage half workshop awaiting instructions. Will it be a fly tying station, dress the deer, yank the tranny, meditation, or just a place for all the extra tools and junk of this life? There’s a place for a woodstove out there: hot yoga, he/she cave? Inside, the home is a cozy retreat as would be expected from one of the good ones from back in the day. They picked the best spots and built them to last! Spacious kitchen looks out to the gardens. Living room is just the right size and overlooks the ancient lilac that scents the yard and home via summer windows. Full bath for scrubbing up after chores. Currently one bedroom, but the upper office, with the addition of a new egress window, could house the kids, visiting family, or all the guests who want a piece of the action up in the Tip of the Arrowhead! Down below is an unfinished basement area with laundry and a wood burning furnace that supplements the main system – nice on the pocketbook. Fiber optic purrs along at the wall, so feel free to bring the job with you, or just veg out to movies and surfing the web. Mature lot means mature trees: some big ol’ red pines are steady-on into the future with you. Lots of elbow room here to layout a bags arena, more garden, or firepit area for: S’mores, tellin’ tales, a bit of cowboy tv… figurin’ stuff out at your pace. Head North to Grand Portage to take in some history at the National Monument, grab a bite at the Lodge, try your luck at the casino! Though, just holing-up jives with the Hovland vibe. Come and make this property fit your vision.
