    What's special

    Welcome to this magical riverfront oasis, where 1.8 acres and 225 feet of shoreline create a rare sense of privacy and tranquility. Tucked away in your own private corner of the world, yet just 4 miles by boat to Hastings and conveniently located near Cottage Grove and Historic St. Paul, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds. One-level living is elevated by sweeping river views, private gardens and green space. Every room—and every view—feels thoughtfully connected to the natural beauty surrounding the home. The beautifully updated kitchen is a chef's delight, the dinette is overlooking the gardens. The main living area features vaulted ceilings and natural light filtering in from through the expansive windows with breathtaking views of the river and grounds. Start your mornings in the inviting sunroom, where panoramic views provide a beautiful backdrop year-round. A fireplace adds warmth & ambiance, making it the perfect place to cozy up. Each of the 3 bedrooms offers its own private bathroom. The luxurious primary suite features a steam shower, fireplace, and walk-in closet. For entertaining, the home theater is ready for movie nights and game-day gatherings, complete with its own wet bar. Add'l bonus spaces include a home workshop, a detached three-car garage with a potting shed, and a bonus room above the garage that can be used as a play area, home office or gym. Step outside and you'll discover even more to love, a bonfire pit on the river's edge, an add'l storage shed, a boat lift and various gardens. With opportunities for boating, relaxing, entertaining, and simply enjoying the beauty of nature, this property offers a lifestyle that is truly one of a kind. This is more than a home—it is a place where everyday moments become cherished memories and where truly magical moments will become part of your history. Lovingly cared for and exceptionally special, this rare riverfront retreat is ready to welcome you home.
