Set on approximately 78.56 acres with remarkable frontage along the scenic Chippewa River, this one-of-a-kind estate combines architectural significance with breathtaking natural beauty. At the heart of the property is a Mid-Century Modern residence featuring architectural renovations by renowned designer Alden B. Dow.

Beyond the main residence, a 25x19 pool house provides finished living space complete with a Murphy bed, fireplace, and full bathroom—ideal for guests or entertaining. The estate also features four substantial outbuildings offering exceptional versatility. Two large barns—measuring 160x60 feet and 95x40 feet—have cement floors and are fully insulated and heated, with the 95x40 barn also including a finished half bath. A third barn connects to the original structure and offers additional finished space (lift not included). The land itself is a beautiful blend of productive farmland and serene riverfront. The fields are currently planted in soybeans and leased through this fall, presenting the opportunity for continued agricultural income or a new vision tailored to your needs.
