Sugar Maple Delight on the Shores of Deeryard Lake. Wander back into the Lutsen woods, away from the hustle and bustle to a bit of peace and quiet on a dreamy lake. Well, more than a bit: 2.3 acres and 175’ of frontage on a clear, healthy, rocky, walleye-filled boreal lake. Deeryard is mainly surrounded by public land, so it is quiet, plays more like a BWCA lake. The view to the south is wilderness, no man-made structures in sight. The home is solid! Sits on an insulated concrete form foundation, sided in Montana hand-hewn white pine, roof is just a few years old, brand new sprawling class-act deck! Plenty of room for a family reunion! 4 bedrooms, one in the walkout that can sleep all the grands, though they might need to be separated if too much giggling and mischief. A dramatic row of oversized windows brings the maple woods and lake-life spilling into the living room – uffda what a view! Fall color here is mind-blowing, next-level! Woodstove in the corner whispers on a cool, rainy day and roars at 20 below when like a gunshot you hear a maple split in the icy grip of winter. Come April, the sap loosens, and harvesting it is pure joy, pure golden Northwoods Mana for hotcakes, your coffee or maple-glazed walleye fillets! Heat up and relax any time of year in the sauna. The family room below is movie central when the weather acts up. Above is a roomy, lofted space for reading: any of Sig Olson’s, Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha, Heinrich’s Mind of the Raven. Or, just take a nap! Tandem, large, detached garage, has attic room truss for storage or finish it off. Propane generator is dutifully ready for any power outages. Off-peak, infloor heat is easy on the pocketbook. Terrific, spacious dock is home base for: cool dips, boating forays, Milky Way and Aurora Borealis observations, or a long, overdue chat. A massive white pine, older than the good ‘ol USA, is the overseer, making certain we keep the right perspective: enjoy the sun, weather the storms, go with the flow! Wizened cedars are throughout: fragrant, curvy, breezy. The road in is a dead-end, keeps it quiet. Lutsen is about 15 minutes: ski hill, golf course, winery, groceries. Head to Grand Marais for fun, about 30 minutes. XC ski trails are down and across the lake. Snowmobile spur to the main system is close by. Or just stay put. Let the mind and body reconnect to nature, leave the screens. Groove into forest time, forest ways, pure waters, sylvan winds.
