Gorgeous Lutsen lot on hole 6 of the world class Superior National Golf Course. Pristine boreal forest of cedar, birch, and spruce with a tasteful cleared area for a home await the next steward of this special property. Golf course lots do not come on the market often. And this is one of the larger lots in the Heritage, a planned community on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Central to all the fun of the area. Lutsen Mts Ski Hill just up the road a few minutes. Easily can walk to the North Shore Winery, and if you stumble a bit on the way home, it’s so quiet and private only your furry neighbors will notice. A community sewer and water system are ready to hook into. With septic systems costing up to $50,000 and wells possibly $25,000, here is an opportunity to bypass those unknowns and concentrate on the home design. Currently, the Poplar River is spring swollen and audible just across the fairway. Be sure to slow down and pay attention: waves of warbler jewels pass through, deer browse at dawn, fox is on patrol, and the fall raptor migration tunes the mind into ancient rhythms. The roads in the Heritage offer peaceful strolling. At dusk and the offseason, the golf course is a hiker’s paradise or tune up the XC skis and snowshoes! Coast downhill to the Gitchi Gami bike trail and up the road is the Superior Hiking Trail, High Climber Mountain Bike Trail and the flat-water sections of the Poplar River perfect for canoeing and swan encounters. The sight lines from the current cleared area offer ample opportunities to site windows peering into the pure Northwoods. And sun, lots of sun graces this southwesterly oriented parcel. Sylvan breezes enrich the soundscape. There is a grove of cedars here that predate settlement. Walking among them slows it all down, reflective thoughts reorient the tired mind and soon all is well. As is the well-managed and fiscally sound Home Owner’s Association. Lutsen is the place! Easy to get out to the rest of all the charms of Cook County and historically a terrific place to own real estate!
