There are luxury homes, and then there are properties that redefine what is possible in Northern Minnesota. Commanding one of the most extraordinary settings in Duluth, this Nor-Son Custom Builders masterpiece is a rare offering of Tuscan Rustic Elegance, positioned on twenty rolling acres overlooking Lake Superior and directly bordering the celebrated Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve. Perfectly situated just minutes from downtown Duluth, the airport, and major medical facilities, this estate delivers a level of convenience rarely found in a property of such scale, privacy, and prestige. From the moment you arrive, it is evident that compromise was never part of the vision. Every material, finish, and architectural detail was selected with an unwavering commitment to excellence. The chef's kitchen rivals those found in world-class estates, featuring a Tuscan barrel ceiling, dual islands, a walk-in pantry, and a collection of premium appliances. The grand living room rises beneath soaring ceilings, anchored by a statement fireplace and elegant piano room. Even more impressive is "The Lodge," a remarkable 1,295-square-foot gathering space that evokes the ambiance of an exclusive Northwoods retreat. Reclaimed timber, post-and-beam craftsmanship, a massive stone fireplace, wet bar, 2,000-bottle wine room, and adjoining screened porch create an entertainment venue unlike anything else in the region. The main-level owner's retreat is a private residence unto itself. Spanning approximately 2,800 square feet, it offers dual sitting rooms, separate walk-in closets, an extraordinary marble bath, steam room, and fireplace, delivering a level of luxury seldom encountered. Upstairs, a loft, guest suite, executive office, and expansive deck capture sweeping vistas. Additional accommodations include a beautifully appointed guest suite above the garage. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A 1,000-square-foot screened veranda with outdoor kitchen overlooks the 36x18 pool and panoramic Lake Superior vistas. Beyond are an apple orchard, stocked trout pond, skating pond with warming house, and acres of manicured grounds. What truly sets this estate apart is its irreplaceable setting. With direct access to hundreds of acres of protected land at Hawk Ridge, owners enjoy remarkable privacy, abundant wildlife, world-famous raptor migrations, and a connection to nature rarely found at any price point. Properties of this caliber are typically associated with elite mountain or coastal markets. To find one in Duluth is extraordinary. There is an additional 100-acre equestrian farm/facility that is adjacent and can be purchased separately. Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime.
