The lower-level family room includes a sofa bed for additional sleeping space. Two bathrooms serve the home: a shower/tub on the main level and a shower on the lower level.

Agate Bay, a stunning property on the shores of Lake Superior, offers the seclusion of the North Shore with close proximity to the lively community of Grand Marais, Minnesota.

Featuring three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, Agate Bay is only one mile from the heart of the most dynamic town on the North Shore. And in case you were wondering, we call this home Agate Bay because it comes with access to a private cobblestone beach, a known area by hunters of the elusive Lake Superior Agate.

And while a private beach is one feature, it is just the beginning. The home features a large living area on the main floor, including a kitchen with all the accessories you’ll need to prepare a homemade meal. The many rivers and lakes nearby are full of walleye, trout, and other coveted North Woods fish, meaning you’ll have ample opportunities to prepare a fresh fish fry right on the property. A spacious dining room and sun-filled lounge area offer outstanding views of Lake Superior. In addition, a large deck located off the lounge area and the master bedroom is perfectly situated for views of evening sunsets over the Big Lake.

The recently renovated lower level of the home includes a family room, game table, and a supplemental kitchenette. As the world’s largest freshwater lake is known to spark the creative spirit, a magnificent art area with a focus on the younger generations is nestled on the lower level. Also found on the lower level is arguably the greatest dart room in the state of Minnesota. With the feel of a natural cave, this dart room takes the gaming experience to a new level!

This Home is Pet Friendly! There is a 2-pet maximum.
