Property is 3 miles from a trailhead for the Superior Hiking Trail. Recent and current improvements are shaping this serene property into an attractive value. Electric and broadband is scheduled to be installed roadside (July2026). This will change this parcel from rustic off-grid to one with road accessible power and internet. Camp 20 road serving this area is planned (summer 2026) for 1.5 miles of improvement changing this remote area from unreachable to some to accessible to most.
