What would it feel like to live atop Palisade Head, the magnificent rock formation on the North Shore? This serene getaway perched on a cliff high above Lake Superior comes close. The homeowners named it “Palisade Retreat” after the popular landmark several miles away. The home’s three levels are spread across two wings connected by a long glass walkway facing the lake. Inside, an amalgam of woods includes reclaimed redwood wine-cask siding, hemlock ceilings and reclaimed white oak floors. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Superior Hiking Trail, Lutsen Mountains Ski Area, Superior National Forest and Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
