    Property Description

    Luxury lakeside retreat. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in highly desirable Keya Paha Ranch, this exceptional home offers nearly 2 acres of privacy, nature, gardens, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The property backs directly to 400 acre Union Lake. The association owns the land between the home and the water giving you the convenience and enjoyment of lakeshore living, without the taxes. The owner is permitted to keep a dock on the lake, and the dock and pontoon are also available for purchase. This spacious and beautifully built home feels like a luxury vacation destination 365 days a year. Quality construction and Swedish-inspired custom windows and doors contribute to the home's distinctive character, energy efficiency, and ability to stand up to cold weather, snow, and wind. In-floor geothermal heating is installed and connected, though it is not currently connected. Installing a new boiler could bring the system back online. The seller recently installed a brand new forced air furnace in 2025 and new A/C in 2026. The main level features an expansive primary suite with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower, a private office, an enormous kitchen, and two generous living spaces. One living area could easily be converted into a formal dining room. Step from the kitchen onto a huge deck overlooking the peaceful surroundings, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the utmost privacy. The lower level offers an impressive recreation/game room, laundry room, a large Swedish sauna, and three additional bedrooms. Every bedroom features its own exterior door, providing exceptional access to the screened porch and flexibility for guests, family, or entertaining. A second owner's suite is located on this level and includes its own Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Outside, enjoy a swimming pool with sand filter, expansive yard, mature gardens, a winding private driveway, and direct access to the natural beauty surrounding the lake. Association trails wind around the lake, and association members have access to the water. Additional features include top-of-the-line iron and water filtration, a spacious 34' x 24' heated three-car garage, and numerous recent updates: septic system replaced in 2018, new well pump in 2024, new furnace, water heater, water softener, and sump pump in 2025, and new A/C in 2026. From the privacy and gardens to the pool, sauna, lake access, expansive living spaces, and dual owner's suites, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary lifestyle in Keya Paha Ranch. A truly special home where everyday living feels like a getaway. Enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of Keya Paha Ranch while remaining conveniently close to Northfield amenities. Association lake access and trails surround the lake, with the property backing directly to the water. Just minutes to downtown Northfield, Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges, parks, trails, shopping, dining and golf. Convenient access to I-35, with Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport approximately 45 minutes away. A peaceful retreat with exceptional access to both nature and the Twin Cities.
