Property Description
Ultimate Waterfront Compound: Island, Bay, and Mile-Long Shoreline. A Generational Legacy on Lake Vermilion’s Most Coveted Shores. Retreat to a world of unparalleled privacy and natural splendor on one of National Geographic’s Top 10 Most Scenic Lakes. Spanning 46 pristine acres in breathtaking Wakemup Bay, this estate is a masterclass in seclusion, featuring its own private island & sheltered bay with calm waters perfect for a floatplane dock. At its heart lie three grandfathered cabins perched directly at the water’s edge—a historic privilege no longer granted to new builds. Anglers and adventurers will thrive with a mile of shoreline, elite fishing, and crystal-clear swimming areas. Modern infrastructure—including permanent electricity, a new septic system, new roofs and surveyed potential for subdivision—ensures this rugged paradise is as functional as it is beautiful. This sanctuary has hosted generations of milestones. Now, it awaits your story. Photos show apx property lines.
