Description for 7185 HWY 1, Finland, MN, 55603 - Baptism River
A river runs through it! A few miles outside of Finland Minnesota, 1225 feet of frontage of the West Baptism River flows happily and peacefully through 13+ acres of iconic Northwoods Real Estate. Two classic cabins have steadfastly anchored down the enjoyment of several generations of lucky owners enjoying the pure, cool air in these parts. The main cabin is a log home expertly built and lovingly maintained. The guest cabin is a charming hybrid of log and stick frame building spacious enough to hold a whole crew of friends or relatives. Each is year-round with two bedrooms and full baths. Can’t build ‘em this close to the river anymore! Each enjoys a commanding view of the river and to sleep near the West Baptism with windows open is to discover a new depth of dreaming - insights into the flow and oneness of water and the persistent metamorphosis of ancient rock recycled into gravel and minerals. Wake early and cast for trout! Each kitchen is fully equipped to fry them up, plus process the berries and wild mushrooms so prevalent in these woods. In the late afternoon, laze in the hammock strung in the grove of riverside old growth red pines. Or, better yet, chillax in the gazebo - the perfect place for cribbage, cocktails, reading. The current owners have lovingly cared for the property. Not much for the new owners to do. New roofs, new windows in both cabins, new garage doors, freshly stained and painted buildings, new wood shed, new rear deck on main cabin, recently tuned up furnaces – the place is in great shape! The main cabin fireplace was fully redone in 2016. The remodeled, one of a kind sauna gets hot enough to take willing souls to another plane. 2023 solar electric system pretty much takes care of the electric bill! High speed internet hums along allowing for as much connection as desired. Though, may as well disconnect and reconnect to nature and your former self with the hopes and dreams of a Boreal Life in Northern Minnesota. Lots of room here, paths to walk on your own land, snowshoe, ski. All manner of fun and interest are nearby: snowmobiling, BWCA, a meal at the famous Trestle Inn, heck take in St Urho’s Day a March Finland celebration not soon forgotten. Life here flows like the river, effortlessly and pristine.
