Property Description
Peace, privacy and remarkable architecture come together on 5 wooded acres just above the village of Afton. Tucked into a serene natural setting with no road noise, this one-of-a-kind home feels like a private retreat among the trees, with dramatic treehouse-like views from nearly every room. Walls of energy-efficient Norwegian H windows fill the home with natural light while framing the wooded landscape and changing seasons. The architecture is distinctive and memorable, with clean lines, generous living spaces and expansive glass-rail decks that seem to float above the treetops. The beautifully appointed kitchen offers exceptional workspace, premium appliances, an additional prep sink and extensive custom storage. It opens to an informal dining area and deck for easy indoor-outdoor living, while a separate formal dining room provides an inviting space for holidays and special gatherings. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms offer privacy and comfort. The owner’s suite is especially striking, with corner windows capturing sweeping treetop views and a spa-inspired bath surrounded by nature. The uppermost level includes a lofted library and private guest suite with its own bath, creating flexible space for visitors, reading, creative pursuits or a quiet home office. The walkout lower level offers a large family room with room for media, exercise or office use, along with direct driveway access. Professionally landscaped perennial gardens surround the home, and the acreage includes space previously used for a large vegetable garden. A grass drive provides access to the lower portion of the property and convenient storage for a boat, camper or trailer. The additional land may also offer potential for a future outbuilding, subject to applicable approvals. Despite its peaceful, secluded feel, the location is exceptionally convenient—approximately 30 minutes to Minneapolis and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, with the St. Croix River, Afton State Park, Afton Alps and the shops and restaurants of historic Afton all nearby. For buyers seeking something truly different, this home delivers a rare combination of architectural character, complete tranquility, wooded privacy and unexpected accessibility.
