Private Nature Preserve Estate Luxurious comfort and convenience meet the great outdoors in this magnificent estate home with attached guest home set carefully amid 29.75± acres of Minnesota woodland. Custom built in 2007, this is an outdoorsman’s dream, with opportunities for hiking, hunting, horseback riding, snowmobiling and ATV exploring; a half mile of French River frontage; plus world class sailing and fishing on nearby Lake Superior with easy boat access at McQuade safe harbor.
The estate offers all the peace and seclusion you could want, while downtown Duluth is just a short drive away whenever you need a change of pace. Home to three college campuses, Duluth offers an exceptional range of entertainment, shopping and cultural experiences for its size — from plays, symphony, ballet, art fairs and music festivals to sports competitions, an aquarium and Spirit Mountain Adventure Park. You are also located in close proximity to Northland Country Club, Ridgeview Country Club both featuring nationally acclaimed golf courses, as well as the Duluth Women’s club. Just down the road enjoy world class skiing at Lutsen Mountains or Spirit Mountain.
No expense was spared to achieve the ultimate in longevity and functionality for this home. Extra strong 2’x6’ (not the more common 2’x’4’) construction was used throughout. Dual fuel off-peak heat and a whole home air exchange ventilation system optimize energy efficiency. And for low maintenance, state-of-the-art materials such as Trex composite decking and cement board siding were selected.
The Exterior Designed to allow its owners maximum enjoyment of its natural setting, the home features wrap-around decks on two levels and an observation tower with breathtaking forest and lake views. All covered decks are finished with bead board ceilings. On the deck outside the master bedroom is an 6-person hot tub. Natural materials, such as brick facings, copper-roofed front bump-outs and native rock landscaping, add harmonious accents of tradition to this modern design.
The exterior is also engineered for utility. There’s an attached 4-car garage with a builtin drain, scrub sink, gas heat unit and heat strips under all exterior doors to prevent freezing; plus a detached garage for yard supplies or sporting equipment. The house is wired for a generator large enough to power the refrigerator, plumbing and most of the lights. Outside there are covered outlet and phone jacks.
