A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Carver County's most remarkable bluff properties. Nestled on 65 secluded wooded acres with Bevens Creek meandering through deep ravines below, this extraordinary estate offers a level of privacy, natural beauty, and setting that simply cannot be recreated today. Perched directly on the edge of a dramatic bluff overlooking the creek valley, the home occupies a location that current setback regulations would no longer allow. The result is a breathtaking perspective unlike anything available in new construction, an elevated sanctuary immersed in the treetops, with panoramic views stretching across the rolling landscape below. The expansive deck feels like a luxurious treehouse retreat, suspended above nature and surrounded by wildlife, mature woods, and endless tranquility. Clear out some trees facing the MN River Valley and enjoy the vista views. Clean up the scrub and open up the views to the creek below wrapping around the bluff. The custom-built story-and-a-half residence features a sprawling open floor plan with nearly 2,000 square feet on the main level alone. Walls of windows frame the stunning natural surroundings, while thoughtfully designed living spaces include a sunroom overlooking the creek valley, a welcoming living room, formal dining area with a cozy fireplace, an eat-in kitchen with quarry tile flooring, private office spaces, and an exceptional mudroom that serves as a generous drop zone for country living. Connected directly to the mudroom and kitchen is a charming conservatory-style greenhouse, creating the perfect environment for year-round herbs, vegetables, flowers, and plant cultivation. Just outside, a picturesque grape arbor enhances the home's welcoming approach and offers exciting possibilities for hobby vineyard enthusiasts and future winemaking. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms feature charming dormered windows, unique architectural angles, and abundant character. The primary suite provides access to an enormous unfinished space above the garage, which can also be reached from a separate garage staircase as well. This versatile area offers exceptional storage and endless potential as a workshop, studio, future finished living space, or even an auxiliary dwelling opportunity. The walkout lower level is framed and ready for finishing, providing a blank canvas for additional living and entertaining space. Equestrian and hobby-farm enthusiasts will appreciate the property's barn and acreage suitable for livestock. Two substantial garage spaces including an oversized attached two-car garage and a separate oversized two-car garage provide ample room for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, and workshop space. Whether you choose to lovingly restore the home to its original grandeur, thoughtfully remodel to suit modern living, or undertake a transformative renovation that maximizes this irreplaceable blufftop setting, the possibilities are extraordinary. Filled with wildlife, miles of private hiking opportunities, hunting potential, and peaceful natural beauty, this secluded retreat feels worlds away while remaining conveniently close to the Twin Cities for shopping, dining, entertainment, and everyday amenities. Rare. Private. Unrepeatable. Properties of this caliber and setting seldom become available and may never be offered again.
