Set on 300 feet of Round Lake shoreline across two parcels, this beautiful retreat is anchored by an architecture that leans into its surroundings rather than imposing on them. A vaulted great room where floor-to-ceiling windows bring all eyes onto the lake and the large stone gas fireplace and the grand floating staircase make for a memorable first impression! The stairs made of half-log treads and a custom twig railing — is indicative of the detail that went into sculpting this home to honor nature. Soapstone counters and a farmhouse sink ground the kitchen; reclaimed barn wood runs underfoot. The dining room opens to a screened porch straight out of a magazine and the main-level primary suite offers a private deck, soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanity, and mosaic tile floors. The second floor loft offers magical views, additional living space and 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The walk-out lower level delivers a full Wisconsin bar experience with an environmental twist: PaperStone counters. You’ll love the billiards area, dedicated exercise room, slate tile floors, and a fourth bedroom with direct patio access. Sustainability runs deep here — geothermal heating and cooling, in-floor heat, a metal roof, and beautiful recycled and reclaimed materials. Outside: a long lake-facing deck, paver patio, fire pit, pollinator garden, stone steps, and beautiful lakeshore teaming with nature. Take a closer look and a few more steps and you’ll come to a stream winding through the second parcel. Eagles and cranes are regulars; bears have made appearances. Luck itself rewards the curious. Danish in heritage, it sits at the heart of the Gandy Dancer State Trail — 47 miles open to biking, hiking, and snowmobiling — and hosts the Boston-qualifying Gandy Marathon each fall. A 15-minute drive to St. Croix Falls, and roughly an hour to the Twin Cities. A home with this level of intentional design doesn't come along often. This is lake life with a bow to its exceptional setting.
