Welcome to Aurora Waters, a one of a kind, landmark home on a spectacular island! This is a magical property: 5 hand crafted cabins and 4 exotic Yurts spread through an enchanted, open forest of 20.9 acres with 2,140 feet of sunny, southern facing shoreline. Towering Norway pines and high granite bluffs offer shimmering island studded views across the vast, main body of the lake to the legendary Boundary Waters Wilderness, world famous for canoe trips. Catch giant lake trout in the 120' clear, spring fed depths in front of your dock, and sauna and swim under the shimmer of the Northern Lights. Bald eagles and deer abound. Loons call in the still twilight, and the stars are bright and close. Waters Island is the largest, most central island on Burntside and Aurora's neighboring forest is held in a Land Trust. It's the ultimate in seclusion and privacy, yet easily accessible via a nearby dock (included). ## Location - **Address:** 2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road, Ely, MN 55731 - **Coordinates:** 47.927499, -91.994863 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=47.927499,-91.994863 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Lisa Janisch - **Brokerage:** Janisch Realty - **Phone:** 2187806644 - **Broker Phone:** (218) 780-6644 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2928-Waters-Is_Ely_MN_55731_M85950-97321?f=listhub&s=RAORMN&m=146931&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f3841530307r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f3288552545r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f4122173907r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f4143064074r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1433791434r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2437764952r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1888585934r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f3027243697r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2873103429r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f733705446r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1156922790r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2215411970r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f3085348885r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f753057900r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1014765476r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f615370075r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1302478526r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2826520255r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f316648219r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f381595334r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f637929780r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f4129930524r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1638512272r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2100287491r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1211679192r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2619110197r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f196950418r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f1035717226r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f3382699849r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f2183513189r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f934164283r.jpg) ![2928 Waters Is & Dock Van Vac Road - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f8a9353086f35fd96e600e231be0d1cbl-f572911886r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 146931 | **Updated:** 2026-05-31 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Range Association of REALTORS.
