Welcome to a truly exceptional offering in the heart of Eagan, where timeless craftsmanship meets the serenity of a private, cabin-inspired retreat. Set on nearly 8.96 picturesque acres, this one-of-a-kind multi-level home offers a rare blend of luxury, warmth, and natural beauty, with breathtaking views of a 4.5-acre pond from nearly every level.
From the moment you arrive via the long, wooded driveway, you’ll feel a sense of escape. Inside, rich woodwork flows throughout the home, from the floors and trim to the custom railings, creating an inviting and cohesive design. A dramatic Chicago brick fireplace anchors the space, extending from the walk-out lower level to the soaring peak of the loft, adding both grandeur and comfort.
Designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings, the spacious kitchen features a large center island, double ovens, cooktop, appliance garage, and an informal dining area with sweeping views across the acreage. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility and function, including a stunning sunroom filled with natural light, a loft overlooking the main living area, and a walk-out lower level that opens to an expansive patio.
A true highlight of the home is the library retreat, offering a quiet, cozy space to read, work, or unwind while taking in peaceful pond views. It’s a rare and thoughtful feature that enhances the home’s sense of comfort and intentional design.
The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with its own deck overlooking the water, while outdoor living continues with multiple decks, freshly stained, creating seamless indoor-outdoor connection and endless opportunities to relax or entertain.
Perfectly positioned near Lebanon Hills Regional Park, Twin Cities Premium Outlets, and convenient access to major highways, this property offers the best of both worlds, privacy and proximity.
This is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. Where luxury meets the feeling of a true getaway, right here in Eagan.
