Property Description
1 BIRCH ISLAND, offers a rare opportunity to own a private island on Minnesota's Lake of the Woods! There are 15,321 Lakes (per my 6th grade Minnesota History Teacher) in Minnesota, but there is only one Lake of the Woods and there may be 12 private Island?s located on Minnesota?s side of it, but Birch Island is the True Pearl. Over 9 Private acres moderately developed in a premier location for accessing the entire lake. Birch Island is only 2.5 miles from mainland at the Northwest Angle, close to the many year-round resorts, businesses and populated Islands, and the winter ice road goes right by. More importantly than ease of access Birch Island is near world class multi-species fishing; both the big water walleye fishing to the south in the traverse bays as well as the highly sought after bass, crappie, and musky fishing in the Canadian waters of Lake of the Woods to the north. If you prefer to stay close to home there is no shortage of opportunities to catch all of the fish off of the diverse shoreline the Island has to offer.
The 2604 square foot Cabin/Home on the Island was built as a permanent residence for the prior owner so although modest and rustic it was built to last a lifetime with the concrete foundation being built on top of bedrock. This 1.75 story home features a Cedar Shake Siding Exterior and Oak Woodwork throughout the interior. There is a kitchen and bathroom on each floor which allows for a variety of guest/occupant arrangements.
Perhaps the most important feature of this property are the utilities onsite. There is electric power on the Island and to the Cabin, a several hundred foot deep 8? metal cased well, and a modern septic system so the property is ready for year-round use or expansion.
What I love most about Birch Island is it?s over 2000? expansive and diverse shoreline. There are rigid rocky bluffs to the west, quaint and tranquil protected bays to the north and east for parking your boats, and multiple sand beaches for swimming to the east and south which even features a man made helicopter pad made from shoreline rocks. There are multiple species of trees, plants, and animals that co-habit the Island and even a resident Bald Eagle.
Call today for more information. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a private Island on Lake of the Woods.
