Contemporary Woodland Retreat on 7.5 Acres Highlights: primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, passive seasonal and cooling design, central woodstove, drinking water filtration system installed, private well water throughout, brand new refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher Discover a one-of-a-kind earth-integrated home nestled into the top of a wooded bluff, set on approximately 7.5 acres of private natural surroundings. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection to the landscape, this distinctive home features an ergonomic layout and tile throughout. The home's unique passive solar design pairs a strategic roof overhang with the terracotta tile flooring to work with the changing seasons. The overhang helps control direct sunlight, while the tile's thermal properties help absorb, retain, and release heat-creating a naturally responsive interior environment. A central woodstove creates a warm gathering space and serves as a natural focal point within the home. The forest is a haven for local wildlife, with deer and wild turkeys frequently seen throughout the acreage, which consists of maple, sugar maple, and red oak trees. Enjoy incredible views, tranquility, and privacy while remaining conveniently 15 minutes from Rochester and 10 minutes from Stewartville.
