Architecture like this doesn't come along often. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath one-owner home sits privately on 5 wooded acres outside Cannon Falls, thoughtfully designed to honor the principles of organic architecture — where Prairie Creek runs just below, visible through the home's sweeping windows and steps from the back deck. This is the up-North feeling without the drive north. Every detail was chosen intentionally. Three-quarter-inch tongue-and-groove oak floors and ceilings, 5/8-inch cherry trim, and custom tile floors flow throughout the main level — all wood Wisconsin custom-milled, all built to last. Carpet only on the main level halls and bedrooms. No ductwork throughout. Built-in bookshelves. The kitchen features custom tile countertops, a 2020 range, and a newer Bosch dishwasher. The pantry exterior wall is intentionally left uninsulated to keep it naturally cool year-round. The home was designed with the seasons in mind: passive solar gain warms the interior in winter while extended eaves block summer sun. Four heat sources give you options — electric baseboard, a 2022 Daikin mini-split in the main room, a wood-burning fireplace (needs repair), and the primary workhorse: a brand-new Harman pellet stove. A double-door airlock entry keeps conditioned air where it belongs. The tankless water heater (top-of-the-line, 2017) and a 2025 washing machine round out the mechanical updates. New roofing on all buildings. Much of the exterior lap and box tongue-and-groove siding was replaced in 2025–26. The setting is as private as it gets — zoning with building restrictions prohibits further development; the shared access road serves this property and one existing neighbor. Power and telephone lines are buried. Two outbuildings and a shed. Circular driveway with asphalt in front of the house. No garage, but room to add one. Centrally located: 10 minutes to Cannon Falls, 20 to Northfield, 40 to the heart of St. Paul, and 45–50 to MSP. A rare home with real craft, real quiet, and a creek out the window.
