The 60 by 34 new metal build is ready for you to finish. In floor heat and some plumbing is done, walls for the two bedrooms and baths are roughed in. The large windowed doors will let in the sun. The soapstone wood stove will bring extra heat in the winter. A new full season septic is ready to be hooked up. There are many more features and items in the home. When you have guests or until the project is completed you can use the cabin just down the path. This is perfect property for someone who wants to get away from it all and experience the north woods. The pond is a good place to view wildlife. Numerous entry points to the BWCA are on the Echo Trail as well as Forest Service roads and trails. This house is set up to be off-the grid with passive solar heating, and photovoltaics.
