7601 County Road 110, Minnetrista MN  $899,900

This beautiful, three-bedroom home sits on 12 peaceful acres of rolling hills covered in prairie grasses and wild flowers.  “Big sky” views overlook several ponds from a recent Minnehaha Watershed wetland restoration project and the wooded countryside.  Dozens of large boulders make perfect sitting perches to soak in the hush of the wind through the native grasses and watch osprey eat their catch from Halsted's Bay, or listen to bluebirds as they flit along our trail of bluebird houses.  The home’s vaulted great room provides breathtaking views of nature and is a perfect host for gatherings with its large, granite center island; open, flexible floor plan; and walk-in, vaulted pantry.  The unfinished, walk-out basement has nine-foot ceilings and offers an additional 2200 square feet for a second master bedroom, second great room, home theater or exercise room.  In addition, there is an 80’ x 40’ outbuilding with a heated workshop and enough space to store a fleet of boats and cars.  Even though this retreat offers privacy, the community’s amenities are easily accessible.  Pick up your locally-grown produce, fresh eggs and honey across the street at Gale Woods Farm, a member of the Three Rivers Park District that also offers hiking, biking, fishing, and canoeing.  Play at the unique Big Stone Mini Golf and Sculpture Garden or access Lake Minnetonka within just a few blocks.
