Property Description

This private retreat in Esko is the kind of home that welcomes you the moment you pull up the drive. Tucked away on over 13 tranquil acres of woods and pasture, this stunning modern Finnish farmhouse is a rare combination of 1920s soul and high-end contemporary luxury. Inside, the home feels both grand and incredibly intimate. The main floor glows with natural light, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and beautifully refinished hardwoods. At its heart sits a magnificent soapstone wood-burning fireplace—the ultimate anchor for cozy northern evenings. The kitchen is a true gathering spot, designed with a "country-luxe" feel. It boasts a second wood-burning fireplace, a professional gas range, and windows that frame the forest like art. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner in the expansive dining area or enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the wraparound deck, the connection to nature is everywhere. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring a double-sided gas fireplace that peers into a serene bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, large walk-in closet and attached bonus room for office/den or nursery! With six-plus bedrooms and a finished walk-out lower level, complete with a rec room and gym, there is space here for everyone to find their own corner of peace. Stepping outside, the history of the land comes alive and includes a 2009 constructed 38x28 barn-style garage, charming playhouse, and pristine grounds. This isn't just a house; it’s a legacy property waiting for its next chapter.
