265 Mink Ranch Rd

Tucked at the quiet edge of the desirable Mink Ranch community, this beautifully crafted newer home offers a rare blend of peaceful quiet, efficiency, and North Shore charm. Set on an end lot surrounded by woods on three sides, the home feels immersed in nature, with tranquil forest views from nearly every window and protected HOA out lot land just beyond the backyard. Thoughtfully designed for comfort in every season, the home features in-floor radiant heat with three zones, high-efficiency systems including an on-demand propane water heater, and quality construction throughout—from solid pine interior doors and Pella windows to custom slow-close birch cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Outside, a fenced patio and fire pit create a welcoming setting for quiet evenings under the pines and Northern Lights. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the North Shore recreation corridor, the home sits just minutes from world-class skiing at Lutsen Mountains and a short drive from the harbor village of Grand Marais. Local favorites—including the cozy café at Fika Coffee, provisions from Lockport Marketplace, and tastings at North Shore Winery and North Shore Cider Company—are just around the corner. The North Shore State Trail borders HOA land nearby, offering immediate access to year-round outdoor adventure. With fiber internet delivering 100+ Mbps and an HOA that covers water, sewer, and snow removal, this home provides effortless North Shore living in a welcoming neighborhood of full-time residents. Please note that HOA declarations do not permit short-term rentals, preserving the peaceful residential character of the community.
