Description
Located in northern St. Louis County, this +/- 40 acre property offers rolling terrain, diverse timber cover, wildlife habitat, and a rustic cabin setting with convenient access from Melrude Rd. W. The property is positioned between Virginia and the Cloquet/Duluth area, with access to Highway 53 located a short drive to the west, providing a practical location for weekend recreation or seasonal use.A 16x20 one-room cabin is situated on top of a ridge approximately 155 feet off the road, offering a private setting surrounded by mature timber. The cabin includes a wood stove and is configured for generator use. Around the cabin, the seller completed clearing work that opened portions of the understory and removed deadfall. These improvements create more usable space around the cabin while maintaining the property's natural character.The land features rolling high ground with mature aspen mixed with spruce, balsam, birch, and scattered maple. A wetland corridor separates portions of the higher ground, and multiple crossing routes were identified while walking the property using rubber hunting boots. Beyond the wetland area, the timber transitions back into rolling timbered terrain with a diverse mix of cover and habitat features.Wildlife activity was observed throughout the property, including deer sign, grouse, and woodcock. The wetland and open water area near the northeast corner of the property also attracted waterfowl activity, including wood ducks, mallards, ring-necked ducks, and Canada geese. The combination of timber cover, wetland habitat, and nearby water sources may appeal to buyers interested in hunting, wildlife observation, or outdoor recreation. The habitat is also excellent for black bear common to the area.The property's terrain and timber composition provide a blend of wooded privacy, recreational access, and natural habitat diversity. Its location in a well-known northern Minnesota recreation area offers access to public lands, regional trail systems, and nearby communities while maintaining a rural setting.Whether used as a seasonal retreat, hunting property, or recreational base camp, this St. Louis County acreage offers a combination of cabin improvements, wildlife habitat, and rolling northern Minnesota landscape.
