An extraordinary European country house inspired estate, this architectural masterpiece brings timeless European influence, sophisticated craftsmanship, and exceptional privacy to 3.47 acres along the Mississippi River. Designed by Murphy & Co. and built by Erotas Custom Building, the estate features a linear floor plan created to welcome natural light while capturing river views from room after room. A prominent limestone arched entry sets the tone for the exceptional details found throughout. The great room makes an unforgettable statement with architectural beams, a stone fireplace, and expansive river views. The adjoining kitchen pairs timeless materials with exceptional functionality, featuring an oversized center island, Wolf range and hood, three ovens, full-size Sub-Zero refrigeration, farmhouse sink, two dishwashers, and appliances seamlessly integrated behind custom cabinetry. A generous pantry, craft room, main-level laundry, and mudroom with built-in storage complete the main level. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings and breathtaking views across the grounds to the Mississippi. A 14x15 walk-in closet features a center island and extensive custom storage, while the spa-inspired bath offers a walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, dual-sink vanity, and in-floor heat. The walkout lower level is designed for entertaining with heated concrete floors. A second kitchen and wet bar with extensive cabinetry, refrigeration, microwave, and bar seating opens to a billiards area and inviting media room with fireplace. An arched doorway introduces the climate-controlled wine room with built-in wine racks, while sliding doors reveal a dedicated exercise room. Three lower-level bedrooms provide comfortable guest accommodations, including one with direct backyard and patio access. A full bath with an additional washer and dryer is positioned near the pool entrance. From the lower level, a hallway leads to the tuck-under garage and one of the estate's most distinctive features: a private concrete tunnel extending beneath the driveway and connecting the residence directly to the detached garage. For the automotive enthusiast, collector, or hobbyist, the estate offers 14 total garage stalls across its attached, detached, upper, and lower garage spaces. The detached garage features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, epoxy flooring, extensive cabinetry, dedicated workshop space, a half bath, and Mississippi River views. Above the detached garage, a private river-view office features a corner gas fireplace, cabinetry, counter space, and sink. A newer roof accented by distinctive copper trim complements the European-inspired architecture. Meticulously maintained landscaping frames the estate with mature plantings and a lush, manicured lawn. Particularly rare for riverfront property, the expansive lawn follows a gradual, easy-to-navigate slope to the riverbank, preserving breathtaking long views while creating an effortless connection between the residence and shoreline. A custom floating dock provides direct Mississippi access, while a dedicated rail-and-trolley system allows a boat to be conveniently stored beneath a canopy. Electrical power is available at both the dock and rail system. This stretch of the Mississippi is considered a top-10 smallmouth bass fishery in North America, with smallmouth bass and walleye caught directly from the dock. An in-ground pool and pool deck complete the private resort-like setting surrounded by mature grounds and the river beyond. Every element has been considered, from abundant custom cabinetry to the connection between the residence, river, pool, grounds, and extraordinary garage spaces. Private yet designed for gathering, sophisticated yet remarkably livable, this one-of-a-kind river estate offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to retreat without ever having to leave home. It is an extraordinary way of life along the Mississippi.

Welcome home to this beautiful Big Lake four-level split, which means real rooms instead of one big echoing box. Five bedrooms. Four levels. Three garage stalls. Almost an acre of trees and privacy. And a fire pit with swings. 2,477 finished square feet spread across five bedrooms, two full baths, and levels that each have their own personality. Start at the front door. The foyer greets you with a built-in bench and storage, which seems like a small thing until you realize it ends the daily argument about where the shoes go. A few steps away is the open kitchen you will love. Every stainless appliance went in new in 2023: French door refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, and a wine fridge tucked in for good measure. Counter space is generous, cabinets are everywhere, and the center island is on wheels — prep station when you're cooking, table when you're eating. Brand new vinyl plank flooring runs across the entire main level, installed in 2026. The kitchen flows into the dining area, where the ceiling vaults and a gas fireplace with brick surround takes the edge off a Minnesota February. Just beyond it is the four-season porch, knotty pine wood floor to ceiling — the kind of room that feels like a cabin and somehow becomes everyone's favorite spot by the second visit. It opens onto a 16x12 deck to enjoy the private backyard. Upstairs there is new carpet throughout, the living room has a bay window that catches light all afternoon. Two bedrooms on this level, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a walk-through to the full bath, which also got new vinyl plank flooring. Downstairs is where the house gets cozy. The family room has a wood-burning stove — actual fire, actual heat, actual reason to be down there in January. Three more bedrooms on the lower levels, including one with a great walk-in closet. The full bath down here was remodeled in 2025 and it shows: soaking tub with tile surround, new vanity with granite top, and a tile floor. The laundry area has a new combination washer/dryer in one and a utility sink, one of those things you don't appreciate until you have it. And there's one more flex room that can be a sixth bedroom, an office, a gym, or whatever your heart desires. Outside is the part that sells itself. Almost an acre — 0.86 — with mature trees and a full privacy fence. Private and quiet, with a custom fire pit with swings, so summer nights pretty much plan themselves. The 20x10 storage shed has dual lofts, which means the mower, the bikes, and all the totes have somewhere to live. The three-stall garage is insulated, so projects don't have to wait for April. A huge paver patio sits out front to enjoy. Then the unglamorous list, which is the one that actually matters: 2026 - New Vinyl Plank Flooring, 2025 - New A/C, 2025 – Remodeled Bathroom, 2024 - New Roof & Siding, 2023 – New Appliances, 2022 – New Carpet, 2022 - New Pressure Tank, 2019 - New Well Pump. The owner stayed on top of this place, and you get to be the one who benefits! Come see it before somebody else does, schedule your private showing today!
