Tucked quietly into a pristine 10-acre setting, yet still only 25 minutes from Downtown Duluth. . this is the kind of property you don’t stumble upon—you seek it out. Surrounded by mature trees and bordering acres of DNR and Canosia Wildlife Management land, the privacy here is unmatched. It’s the perfect spot for a small hobby farm, complete with a charming lofted barn that adds both function and character to the landscape. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel how thoughtfully this home was designed. Built for efficiency and comfort, it features solar panels, Ecobee thermostats, in-floor and radiant heat, and a sunny south-facing orientation with windows everywhere—bringing the outdoors in at every turn. The attached 3-car garage leads into an oversized mudroom (a must-have for country living), with a conveniently tucked-away main floor laundry and ¾ bath—ideal after time spent in the barn. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, blending beauty and utility with cherry cabinetry, crown molding, double ovens, an induction cooktop, and a generous breakfast bar for gathering. It flows effortlessly into a magnificent great room filled with natural light and soaring ceilings, opening up to lofted bedrooms above. The main floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat with a dressing room and a spa-like bath that feels both elegant and inviting. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level expands your living space with a rec room, exercise area, and an additional bedroom with a large walk-in closet—plus plenty of windows to keep it bright and welcoming. Upgrades here matter: In-Floor heat in the Dining & Living room, mini splits on every level, new air exchanger, updated water treatment system, replaced solar inverter and batteries, new heat pump, barn heating element, updated thermostats, and Starlink with fiber optic availability. This is one of those rare properties that simply feels right—private, efficient, beautifully maintained, and ready for someone who wants to settle in, spread out, and truly enjoy life on their own acreage. You can walk for miles, hike to your heart's content and live in pristine privacy on a dead end surrounded by forest!
