MLS# 6120098 - 16 Carlson Rd Grand Marais, MN 55604

A special home treasured by three generations. The first treasure is Mayhew Lake; a peaceful lake with only four homes along it's banks. Located right off the Gunflint Trail, it is situated on the edge of the BWCA. There is a nearby trailhead for the Border Route Trail. A half mile hike will take you to Topper Lake or as far as you wish to go! The second treasure is the home. So close to the water, you can hear the waves on the shoreline. This hand hewn log retreat was the last one built by Emerson Morris who crafted alongside the owners' family and friends. Don't miss the photo album in the loft showing all the details. The space is wisely designed with flexibility to entertain a crowd, accommodate overnight guests or provide places to relax; quietly tucked away with a book or working on your own craft. There are views of the lake throughout the home. Built with in-floor heat, you will be comfortable all year long. The next treasure is the "Barn". There are huge drive-in doors with massive hinges reportedly made by Bill Bally. The interior is over 2500 Square feet plus an upper loft area. The whole structure is heated and insulated with plenty of 220 power and a workshop area separated from the main space. The final treasure is the land. Allow extra time here to go on your own treasure hunt for Lady Slippers in bloom, a hidden picnic table, massive white pines, glorious cedars, or a stash of Moose droppings! Enjoy the trails along 400 feet of lakeshore and through the woods. Now is a perfect time to visit with all the wildflowers in bloom!
