Agent Description

There is no other property on iconic Burntside Lake like this one! 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).
