About This Home

Relaxing haven with views of Shagawa Flowage. River is just a short paddle to Fall Lake & the BW beyond. Private yard, with mature tree canopy, is shielded from the street by house & garage for a courtyard atmosphere; complemented by raised veggie/flower beds, firepit & 3 season gazebo. Endless hours can be spent here listening & watching the antics of wildlife along the shoreline. Simplicity & relaxation continues into the home with original hardwood floors & spacious sized rooms, plus 2 baths! Tinkering can occur in insulated/heated workshop of 20’ x 22’ detached garage. To the east, property overlooks both sides of Shagawa Flowage, a vital waterfowl migration area; to the north, it abuts gov’t land’s heavily treed buffer. Located near the Fernberg Trail corridor for easy BW access, but yet only 5 minutes to Ely. Affordable in-town amenities & taxes ………… It’s almost stress free!
