Tucked behind a winding tree lined drive, this remarkable ten acre property, offers a rare blend of serene country living, privacy, (land to the south is non-buildable) and equestrian features. This beautiful custom home offers over 4,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring a wide-open floor plan, one level living and breathtaking panoramic views in every direction. The timeless warm decor, hardwood floors, custom millwork, 8 foot paneled doors, and soaring 10-12 foot ceilings create an inviting space for family and friends. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a beverage fridge, a vegetable sink, and a commanding 10-foot island with bar seating. 8-foot French doors lead to the private primary suite which includes a fireplace, massive walk-in closet, direct deck access and spa-like bathroom. The fully finished walk-out lower level opens to a large family space, billiards room with wet bar, in-floor radiant heat and a 2 bedroom suite. Outdoor spaces feature a expansive, newly refinished, Tigerwood deck and charming lower level paver patio courtyard with fountain. Walk to the private pond for a peaceful break in your day! The attached garage is a dream - with epoxy floors, water, drainage, heat and tall ceilings. The property has been meticulously cared for and features updated mechanical systems for total peace of mind. The true highlight of the property is The Red Barn - a Morton Building designed for ultimate utility! It includes electricity, water, a large dedicated workroom/garage/storage area, and an expansive mezzanine loft. One-third of the building is thoughtfully dedicated to a functional horse run, providing seamless, direct access to the exterior fenced pastures, which feature a secure mix of classic white and electric fencing. Located just 10 minutes from charming Marine on Saint Croix, this exceptionally maintained country estate combines a peaceful rural lifestyle with an easy Twin Cities commute. A rare opportunity to a lifestyle property.
