This amazing Up North retreat boasts over 250 feet of private frontage on the Baldwin River, a clean and well-cared for 2 bed / 1 bath cabin, and 5.5 acres of woods and privacy. The cabin is filled with classic charm and invites you into an open, recently updated kitchen and dining area. Continue into the living room with a wood-burning fireplace perfect for taking the chill out of a cozy night. Two freshly updated bedrooms and a bathroom are off to one side, while toward the river is a front room to suit however you see fit. Enjoy all new flooring throughout! Across the entire front is an 8' x 26' screened-in porch overlooking the river frontage, primed for soaking in evening sunsets surrounded by nature. Lots of very recent infrastructure updates also, including a newer furnace and central A/C, metal roof, and well pressure tank and switch. Seize this opportunity for your own frontage on the Baldwin River, a renowned stream for trout, steelhead, and salmon runs. With extremely limited public access, the river receives comparatively little fishing pressure and has lots of mature, trophy fish. Also included are two 24x24 outbuildings with power and concrete floors that offer an ample amount of storage and parking for your snowmobiles, ORV's, boat, vehicles, and/or tools. There are so many recreational opportunities in the immediate area to be enjoyed, along with potential short-term rental possibilities. Don't miss your chance to own a truly special property to share with your loved ones - schedule a private showing today!
