A Look Inside
Every photo we have — 36 and counting
A spacious 4-bedroom, fully remodeled home two minutes to the boat launch, backed by state park woods, and set directly on the Mesabi Trail — with Ely, the Boundary Waters, and limitless recreation just down the road.
35 Jasper St sits in historic Soudan, Minnesota's oldest mining town. Lake Vermilion's Stuntz Bay public launch is two minutes away, so the boat can be in the water before the coffee's done.
This is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home built for people who spend more time outside than in: a wide attached garage-workshop for gear and projects, a large lot with room to spread out, and a location that puts world-class golf, a casino resort, multiple state parks, and the edge of the Boundary Waters all inside a half-hour drive.
It's the rare listing where the map is the selling point — remodeled for modern life while retaining all the up-north features one expects from a home in northeast Minnesota.
Public access to Lake Vermilion — the closest way onto the water.
The property backs directly onto the park's woods and trails.
Paved Iron Range trail for biking, walking, and snowmobiling — right at the property.
Gaming, dining, marina, and event center on Lake Vermilion.
Crystal-clear water, hiking trails, and a quieter state park just down the road.
The classic gateway town to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Golf in summer, skiing in winter, at the region's four-season resort.
35 Jasper St is listed at $249,900. Reach out for a showing, more photos as they're taken, or any questions about the home, the lot, or the neighborhood.

Some houses you have to imagine into. This one is already there.
Set under mature pines in historic Soudan — Minnesota's original iron mining town — this 1940 gambrel-roofed home has been fully and lovingly remodeled. Pine and cedar ceilings, custom trim, built-ins carved into the eaves: the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't come out of a catalog. Behind all of it sit updated electrical, new plumbing, new siding, new lighting throughout, and a propane furnace. Character with none of the caveats.
Enter through a four-season porch that runs the front of the house — original pine beadboard ceiling, new weather-grade windows on three sides, warm light throughout the day and a good place to shed boots after a day on the ice. Original wood-paneled entry door, original glass French doors into the living room. It's the first thing guests will photograph.
The living room is the heart of it: a pine plank ceiling with an exposed cedar beam, dimmable recessed lighting, and a hand-built brick hearth with a new wood stove that will run you out of the room on a January night. Dark plank flooring runs throughout the main level and into the open kitchen and dining area, where white cabinetry meets warm butcher block counters and a long peninsula with seating for three. The appliances are a brand-new matched Whirlpool suite — refrigerator, range, over-the-range microwave, and dishwasher. Pair the peninsula with the dining table and you can put a full crew around food.
Four bedrooms, all real. One on the main level for single-floor living or guest use. Three upstairs, where the gambrel roofline gives two of them a sloped, cabin-like ceiling. The main bedroom is vaulted and generous — a king fits with room to spare — with a compact half bath tucked under the eave, which anyone who has shared a bathroom with a full house will appreciate on a winter morning. Two bedrooms wear light cedar plank ceilings and matching cedar accent walls, with windows that frame nothing but evergreen. A Jack-and-Jill bath connects two of the upstairs bedrooms.
The detail that stops people: hand-built dressers recessed directly into the main bedroom's knee walls, dark-stained drawer fronts set in cedar frames. It's the smartest possible answer to gambrel storage and it was all done by hand, right here.
The bathrooms carry the same hand through. Cedar plank ceilings continue overhead with exceptional accents throughout. Nothing here was picked from a bin. Even the stairway got the treatment — deep-stained treads over crisp white risers, with a turned wood handrail.
Downstairs, a partially finished basement adds flexible living space and easily accessible laundry with a brand-new Maytag washer and dryer. A vapor-barriered crawl space handles the gear a place like this accumulates — skis, rods, decoys, sleds.
Outside, a 2024 deck off the back door looks over an open lawn to a new stone firepit ringed in gravel, with log rounds and benches already in place.
Then there's the garage, and it deserves more than a line. At 1,008 sq ft under a brand-new roof and freshly painted board-and-batten, it's really two buildings in one. One half is a finished, insulated workshop — drywalled and painted, lit end to end, running on its own electrical panel with 240V already run in the wall for a welder or compressor. A wood stove and propane hookup make it genuinely usable in February. Windows on three sides. The shop opens up into a full bay with two overhead doors and a soaring exposed-truss ceiling, with an existing workbench, shelving, and overhead loft storage already framed in. Park the boat, the sleds, and other toys. Break down a deer. Build furniture in January without wearing a coat. Detached shop space like this is genuinely hard to find, and often difficult to add.
And then there's where it sits. Two minutes to the Stuntz Bay boat launch on Lake Vermilion — one of the most celebrated fisheries in the state. Backing directly to Lake Vermilion–Soudan Underground Mine State Park. Twenty minutes to Ely and the Boundary Waters. Twenty-five to Giants Ridge. Thirteen to Fortune Bay. Fifteen to Bear Head Lake State Park. Directly connected to the Mesabi Trail.
That combination is why this property pencils as more than a home. This corner of the Arrowhead runs on two seasons, not one — open water, fall color, and grouse in the warm months; snowmobile trails, ice fishing, and skiing once it freezes. A four-bedroom, sleeps-a-crowd, fully turn-key property two minutes from a boat launch and adjacent to a state park is exactly the profile that performs as a short-term rental in this market. Or keep it for yourself. It's ready either way.
