Property Description
Back on the market due to no fault of the sellers! This is the Northwoods oasis you've been dreaming of! With plenty of space to expand, add guest cabins, or build additional structures, the possibilities are wide open. Nestled on nearly 8 acres in the world-famous Sax-Zim Bog, 9011 W Shipley Road offers panoramic lake views, towering pines, cedars, and maples, and approximately 900 feet of shoreline on stunning Aerie Lake. Just 30 minutes from Duluth, this peaceful and private retreat blends rustic charm with everyday comfort.
The thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom cabin features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and lake views from nearly every window. A charming guest bunkhouse with power and a wood stove provides flexible space for visitors. An oversized 2-stall garage offers ample storage for outdoor gear, while a whimsical sod-roofed pump house adds both function and storybook character. The property also includes private trails and a sandy shoreline perfect for summer days at the lake.
Whether you're dreaming of a year-round residence, seasonal getaway, or income-producing short-term rental, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for your vision. For those looking to expand, an adjacent 14-acre parcel with an additional 800 feet of shoreline is also available. Live here full time or retreat here part time—either way, you won't want to leave. This is your PLACE.
