The various build sites offer a number of pre-approved septic locations that are conveniently complimented by paved road frontage. With a few high points that provide stunning 360-degree views, the various build locations will offer up breathtaking 4-season views. This property is located 12 miles northwest of Tower and 15 miles east of Cook, Minnesota—both communities offer simple access to convenience, grocery, hardware and lumber stores, and mixed in are a number of fantastic restaurants. While Lake Vermilion is a renowned world-class muskie and walleye fishery, and the crappie and bluegill fishing is often overlooked yet exceptional. However, the large- and smallmouth bass fishing has recently garnered national attention—it’s among the very best in the state, let alone the country. The fishing at Vermilion is tremendous all year long—but there are also abundant opportunities at whitetails, black bears, wild turkeys, grouse and more. I’m certain I saw moose tracks while traversing the property.
Directions
Drive north on 169 into Peyla, Minnesota, take a left at the Cenex station onto highway 77/Angus Road for 6.2 miles, turn right on 77 for an additional 3/4 of a mile. Turn left on Fectos Road. Plot C will be the second property indicated by signs on the right.
