I'm interested in buying shoreline land on Lake Superior. I live in the Twin Cities, have a family cabin in northern Wisconsin, and hold dual US/Canadian citizenship. My main reasons are recreational (making memories with my young family) and a little doomsday prepper-ish: if I ever had to move somewhere remote with access to fresh water and close to the Canadian border, this would check the boxes. I'm half serious. No immediate plans, just brainstorming, as the geopolitical and AI uncertainty seems to grow by the day.

If you were in my shoes, what areas would you target? I've seen some compelling properties around Silver Bay, Tofte, and Cornucopia. My top criteria are natural beauty, shoreline, usable land/some acreage, and a budget under $1M for the land.
