## Description

### Agent Description
Exquisite Year-Round Log Home Retreat on 4 Wooded Acres. Priced below appraisal value. Set on 4 private, wooded acres just outside Ely. This finished log home is a rare combination of year-round comfort and true multi-purpose space The main log home offers a private primary suite plus a loft for additional sleeping space, warm-tile floors in the kitchen and bath, and the timeless character only a real log home delivers. But the real story here is everything around it: a heated two-car garage with two separate workshops - ideal for woodworking, mechanics, fabrication, or serious hobbyists - topped by a fully finished upper level with three additional bedrooms and a half bath. Altogether, this property offers flexible living and sleeping space for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living, all while keeping the main home private and quiet. Just minutes from many lakes, trails and the BWCA. This property delivers.
