Lake Vermilion Real Estate

MyMinnesotaWoods is a website produced by the University of Minnesota Extension and Department of Forestry Resources.

Rural property owners will find lots of good stuff at each website.  One example is this nifty map showing the location and contact information for professional foresters who can assist with the development of a woodland stewardship plan. (The map reveals two contacts in the Lake Vermilion area.)

James A. Fitzpatrick’s Traveltalks were billed as “The Voice of the Globe”.

In just 10 minutes, this nearly 70 year old film illustrates Minnesota’s best visitor attractions under the description of “Land Of Plenty”.  View the YouTube video here.

Thanks, Bob!

I received a timely reminder today.

I got an informational piece via the ol’ news feed that refreshed my awareness of Lake Vermilion’s camping site opportunities.  With a slight hint of Spring in the air it was a welcomed prompt.

The information highlighted the Hinsdale Island area camping sites.  Hinsdale Island is a very picturesque area of the lake.  The State of Minnesota maintains 11 total campsites in that area and you can view their location on this map.

You could start planning your summer camping trip now!

The Minneapolis Association of Realtors posts a monthly video report on the Twin Cities area real estate market conditions. The video is short, sweet, and to the point.

The most recent video offers some (mostly) encouraging market news.  View it here.

Real estate sales is a business activity that relies on imagery as, perhaps, it’s most effective marketing tool.

Some Sellers find that their property, because of it’s complexity, will require images to effectively detail the complete story of their property’s features.

Fortunately, there are abundant tools to insure that prospective Buyers see the information they need to qualify a potential property of interest.

Custom online maps are certainly one way to provide information on a feature rich property.  Maps populated with location specific links that are tied to additional layers of information is one pretty nice solution.

I have a current listing that takes advantage of those tools.  It’s a large Lake Vermilion property (offered in several variations) where the listing information includes an enhanced Google map.  I think all parties benefit when imagery helps the Seller to sell and the Buyer to buy.

View the listing here.  View the map here.

I hard to believe that, not so many years ago, Buyers received 4 by 6 glossy photos sent through the mail as a response to their request for additional listing information.

Wow.

It is reasonable to expect that a casual trip down the lake will produce at least one opportunity to trip the shutter on your camera.

Such was the case this past weekend with these two Bald Eagles.  They, apparently, have decided to tough out the winter on Lake Vermilion’s Center Island.

I got an email a couple of days ago.

It was an invitation.  An invitation to go to the lake. To fish.  On the lake. Lake Vermilion.  On a Friday afternoon.  20 degrees above zero.  Sunny skies.  No wind.  A quiet and isolated bay with no other fisherpeople in sight.

I went.

We caught fish.  Nice fish.  Nice Walleyes.  On the lake.  Lake Vermilion.

If you get an invite to go fish.  Go.  To the lake.  To fish.  I recommend Lake Vermilion.

You, too, will be thankful for the invitation.

The invitation to fish.

The photo at the top of this website is a view across a (very small) portion of Lake Vermilion.  I thought, perhaps, some of the frequent visitors here may have wondered where I snapped that image.

The best way to show you is to point you towards the “Current Lakeshore Listing Map” (on the right side of the page) and tell you to go to the west side of Lake Vermilion and look for the green marker.  The photo was taken from that elevated shoreline looking towards the south-southwest.

Now you know.

Welcome to the renewed Lake Vermilion Real Estate dot com!

This extensive remake retains much of the previous content and style with an updated look and feel.  The site now offers more reading area and several newly added features!  Hopefully the frequent visitors will enjoy their favorite aspects within the new design.

New to the site are a Lake Vermilion area news feed (left side), regrouped links to current listings (right side), new type styles, and a speedier load time.

Watch for future updates and please pass along your thoughts or suggestions on the new LVRE.com.

Thanks, again, for visiting!

Most of the available properties noted on this website are from a defined segment of the total Northeastern Minnesota real estate market. That includes any properties noted as bank-owned or “REO” listings.

So… the complete list of all area bank-owned properties (from our MLS system) is not normally revealed here.

Until now.

I have assembled the complete list of bank-owned properties currently on our local Multiple Listing Service. This is a group of 35 listings and you can view it here.

See something of interest? Drop me a note!

(FYI, REO stands for “real estate owned”.)
