This exceptional Cargill-built craftsman estate, featured on the 2012 Parade of Homes Tour, is perfectly positioned on 28 acres with panoramic and long-range lake and mountain views from nearly every room. The level of craftsmanship is unmatched-rich woodwork, custom built-ins, high-end kitchen and baths, refined finishes and top-tier systems. Expansive windows on the view side of the property frame the dramatic backdrop, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. You'll fall in love the moment you enter the long, paved driveway, flanked by mature, canopied trees that lead to a beautifully landscaped homesite enhanced by stone walls, lush plantings and a serene water feature. As you enter the home, you are immediately captivated by the breathtaking views from the great room, which features soaring ceilings, arched trusses, a fieldstone fireplace and custom built-ins. The open-concept main level includes a spacious kitchen with Viking appliances, granite countertops and premium cabinetry, a dining area, living room and lovely screened porch-all capturing the lake and mountain panorama. A private office just off the main living area offers custom built-ins and exceptional views. The generous primary suite includes a fieldstone fireplace, custom built-ins, two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with steam shower and heated floor. A well-appointed mudroom and laundry room with extensive cabinetry complete the first floor. The full walkout lower level offers exceptional views, two spacious bedrooms, two baths, and a huge unfinished bonus space with lovely views, ideal for a future family room, media room or gym. Additional features include a 520 sf deck off main area, heated two-car garage, on-demand generator, 10' ceilings and irrigation system. The home is a Green-Built and Energy Star home, achieving Gold-level status. A rare combination of acreage, privacy, views and top-tier construction-a true Lakes Region sanctuary.
