About This Home

Extraordinary St. Croix Valley Executive Estate... Set at one of the highest elevations in Washington County, this French Chateau inspired estate offers sweeping panoramic views of the St. Croix Valley, including Hudson, Afton, Woodbury, and Lake Elmo. Situated on a private 3.62-acre wooded cul-de-sac lot, it combines privacy with convenience -just 15 minutes to downtown St. Paul and 25 minutes to Minneapolis. This 7-bedroom, 8-bathroom home showcases quality craftsmanship throughout, including full-bed-depth St. Croix limestone, soaring 10 to 22-foot ceilings, five fireplaces, and extensive custom millwork and cabinetry. The gourmet kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a large pantry, and opens seamlessly to the main living spaces - ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Walk-in closets with built-in organization systems are found throughout. The primary suite offers a private retreat with dual walk-in closets, its own dedicated laundry room, and a spa-style bath with in-floor heat. Additional highlights include a cherry box-and-beam office, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, travertine and tile baths, a private theater room, and a sauna. A separate 1350 sq foot nanny or in-law apartment above the garage includes its own entrance and full kitchen. A 41' x 41' indoor gymnasium with 18-foot ceilings, basketball hoop, and climbing wall provides a rare recreational feature. The attached 5-car garage includes Level 2 EV charging. This home also features an elevator shaft for future installation. The property also includes a newly constructed (2023) 1,824 sq ft outbuilding with cement floor, vehicle lift, and rough-in for in-floor heat - ideal for storage, workshop use, or recreational equipment. A lofted upper level adds additional flexibility. Energy-efficient features include a 38 kW solar system that significantly offsets utility costs, zoned heating and cooling with air source heat pump, in-floor heat, Andersen windows, and upgraded insulation throughout. Outdoor living is enhanced by a maintenance-free Trex deck positioned to capture the surrounding views.
