Two Northwoods Minnesota Luxury Lake Front Retreats for Sale

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to own two very special properties in the beautiful Northwoods of Minnesota. The Historic Wilderness Lodge and The Yukon Jack Outfitters Property. Together these properties bring together the original grounds of the historic Wilderness Lodge Resort that began operation in the 1940’s and has now been lovingly and carefully restored and modernized to a luxury northwoods lake front retreat with beautiful grounds, breathtaking views, towering pines and an amazing assortment of buildings and cabins ranging from the 4500 square foot lodge to the rustic “Tower” cabin that used to hold the water tank for the property. The Wilderness Lodge is currently rated the Top Specialty Destination in the area on TripAdvisor.com with a 5 star rating.

Located on the shores of Turtle Lake in Itasca County, and surrounded by the peace and solitude of the Chippewa National Forest, the Historic Wilderness Lodge and the adjacent Yukon Jack Outfitters property together offer privacy and serenity among the towering pines just 35 minutes north of Grand Rapids MN.

Sun filled days on the private beach will end quietly with starlit nights in front of the campfire while being serenaded by the loons.

These properties are each zoned single family residential and the resort is currently operated seasonally under a bed and breakfast license as The Wilderness Lodge. The Wilderness Lodge is currently rated the Top Specialty Destination in the area on TripAdvisor.com with a 5 star rating. The properties are located 40 minutes north of Grand Rapids and 4 hours by car from the Minneapolis-St Paul international airport. There is a municipal airport in Bigfork MN and in Grand Rapids MN.
