Are you a pilot? Do you own your own airplane(s)? Do you love the U.P? Then you have hit the jackpot with this one! Buy a year round home right on your very own 3,000ft private airstrip. Located just minutes from downtown Gwinn in a nice, quiet neighborhood tucked away in the woods. Views of a private unnamed lake out your front windows and a well-maintained grass airstrip out the back. Just imagine hearing the sound of an aircraft engine coming your way, getting closer and closer until it lands right before your eyes in your own backyard..."Honey I'm home!" This home also features a large 22' x 24' attached 2-car garage as well as an attached South facing greenhouse, which makes for very efficient heating in the wintertime. Pilots, take off or land right out your back door with the freedom to do so whenever the mood strikes. Also, store up to 3 small airplanes in the historic "Lesterson Airfield" hangar right on the side of the runway. You don't find very many properties like this one, let alone at this great price. Not to mention, even more acreage is available to those who are interested, simply call to discuss the package that can be put together!
