Property Description

Burntside Lake Retreat – 5.5 Acres with Sandy Shoreline in Highly Sought-After Ely, MN Location! Welcome to a truly rare opportunity on the legendary Burntside Lake, known for its crystal-clear waters, dramatic scenery, and exceptional recreational quality. This year-round Northwoods retreat is set on 5.5 acres with towering pines, privacy, and one of the most desirable sandy, west-facing shorelines on the lake—perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and unforgettable sunsets. The expansive 4,872 sq ft home is as unique as the setting itself, offering three separate yet connected living areas under one roof. Each section includes its own kitchen, bathroom, and living room, allowing for flexible living arrangements—ideal for hosting family, friends, or multi-generational use. These spaces can be opened up for large gatherings or closed off for added privacy. In total, the home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 full kitchens and lots of additional space. Tucked just off the main home is a charming 16' x 24' dry guest cabin, surrounded by woods and perfect for additional guests, creative space, or quiet retreat. Located on one of the most coveted stretches of Burntside Lake, this property offers the best of lake life in a peaceful and community-focused environment. Burntside is one of Minnesota's most sought-after lakes—celebrated for its clean waters, stunning shoreline, and proximity to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Ely's vibrant community.
