Lake Vermilion Real Estate

Just under the wire.

We almost got through September without a snowflake. And then it appeared. You know what I mean. That sky. That certain kind of sky seen at no other time of year. You know the one. A stiff northwest wind blowing a continuous stream of individually massed squall clouds. Each mass separated by a period of sun. Then a squall cloud filled with a snow/rain/sleet mix. Today was one of those days.

Even though tomorrow is the first of October, today was a day with an October sky.

Have you ever heard of Mashkenode Lake? Mashkenode is a 101 acre lake located south of the Lake Vermilion area near Virginia, Minnesota. The DNR LakeFinder site has details on the lake including a 2001 fish sample. Mashkenode Lake has a nice population of panfish, some northern pike, and (according to the survey) one walleye.

This lot is on the lake channel and is nicely sized with 3.5+ acres and 800+ feet of frontage. There is a nice wooded building site, the driveway is in, plus power and phone are available. Offered at only $34,900.

Please email me if you would like additional information.

It’s official.

The Autumnal Equinox is today. As the name would suggest it is that time of year when day and night are equal in length.

I’m sure many would agree this is the start of possibly the most pleasant time of year. Slowing pace. Cooler weather. Outdoor colors. And although some buyers do not take advantage of it, for a number of reasons this is also one of the best times of year to view real estate. If you have an interest in Lake Vermilion area property, please contact me to do some Fall shopping.

Also, if you have a minute, here is evidence to clear up an old myth about the Equinox and egg balancing.

Nice.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has a special day every Fall when you can introduce a young person to an outdoors experience. It’s called “Take a Kid Hunting Weekend”.

We took advantage of the event to sample a little pre-season waterfowl activity. No licensing required. Just a young person accompanied by an adult. I accepted the invitation from my youngest. Simply understated, he has an active interest in hunting and fishing.

So me, my son, and a buddy of his got up before the sun and trekked out to Sunset Creek. We paddled by flashlight out to the lake and spent the morning chasing the locals. Ducks, that is. The boys had an good amount of action and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. As the required elder, I pretty much just watched. It was all I needed to do.

What a beautiful morning! That low-angled sunrise light shining into the mist on the lake! Quite a show! I had the camera. A combination of photographic elements like that can make any hack photographer think he missed his calling. It really was memorable. It makes you wonder why you don’t start every day like that.

I sure am glad I got the invitation. (Want to see a few photos?)

For Sale.

There is a lake located just north of Lake Vermilion called Kjostad Lake. There is a secluded, boat-access 80 acre parcel for sale on Kjostad Lake. The land is partially wooded with 500+ feet of frontage and offers beautiful south-facing views of the lake.

If you are interested in a remote lake setting surrounded by miles of public wilderness land, then this might be of interest. Offered at $135,000.

Cook, Minnesota, that is.
