Gorgeous Home On St. Croix River Featuring Electric Tram

LAKELAND, MN – Watch eagles soar across the widest expanse of the beautiful St. Croix River from any space you choose within this newly completed luxury home. Every design consideration regarding the placement of windows, focused on the impact the river views would have from each interior space. The result of these carefully considered placement decisions has resulted in not only an attractive structure but breathtaking vistas.

Completed in 2012 on one of the last block of river lots available, the 2.5 acre site provides privacy and seclusion, which is becoming increasingly more difficult to achieve. The last home on a private drive, privacy is assured into the future.

Designed by Bruce Lenzen and built by Derrick Construction, only the highest quality materials and craftsmanship have been incorporated. An emphasis has been placed on the use of warm finishes resulting in the use of natural cherry cabinetry, millwork, doors, beams and paneling.

Select spaces include enameled surfaces, the perfect juxtaposition to the use of wood. The overall effect is that of sophistication and style retaining the warmth and comfortable personalities of the owners.

The two-story design incorporates a true great room concept with bedrooms located on the upper level and recreation and family gatherings suggested for the lower level where a billiard/game area and media center are located.

It goes without saying that much of the focus for this luxurious home is directed to the outdoors with a custom designed stone fire pit and hot tub just to the north of the screened porch. An extensive patio has been placed on the river side of the house for ease of entertaining. But, of course, the pice de resistance, is the St. Croix River.

The whole focus of this homes is the magnificent river. An electric tram has been installed to offer ease of access to the privately owned 155 feet of sand beach frontage where swimming or simply relaxing in the sand, listening to the quiet movement of the water provides almost instant relaxation. A 10 x 40 floating dock is included with the hope the new owner will enjoy this one of a kind property as have the current owners.
