About Abc Bally Creek Road
Rare opportunity to build your dream home on 120 acres of manicured forest lands and expansive Lake Superior views! There’s a rough road accessing the property from Bally Creek Rd, just ten minutes west of downtown Grand Marais! Views from the TOP of Murphy Mountain are astounding, not only overlooking Lake Superior, but looking toward the North as well! The views along the shore toward Grand Marais and south along the Sawtooths are jaw-dropping. A network of roughed-in roads and paths make exploring the large expanse of land easy. Take some time, get to know it, there are so many interesting viewpoints, forested nooks, cliffs, lofty stands of pines. The current owner is a master tree planter, lovingly caring for this land for many, many years. Come witness the outcome: shady red pine stands, scented spruce groves, thoughtful openings to wander and explore with the Big Lake’s air blowing through your hair. Evocative remnants of an old homestead peek out of the forest floor – the old timers had their choice of the finest lands! The prevailing mood here is quiet, ease, a thriving ecosystem moving along at “forest-time.” The band of cliffs are intricate and expansive. Facing the cool north, they are covered in moss, lichen, cedars. Walk along the top for ever-expanding views of miles of inland forest. Traverse the base considering the ways and life of ancient granite – cast the mind back into deep time. There are natural open meadows and exposed rock atop Murphy Mt that invite a ring of stones for a bonfire - gather friends, look out and into the future. Take time, then, unveil the plan: a getaway place, home with gardens and elbow room, keep it natural and preserved, sell off a lot or two? Many opportunities with 120 acres in the Great Northwoods, overlooking an inland sea forming America’s North Coast. Lace up your boots, bring some maps, a water bottle and snacks – have a look within to see if this is the dream becoming reality.
