Say hello to your very own urban oasis. Make your dream of owning a hobby farm, artist’s / writer’s / yoga retreat, or culinary school come true. Located in Vadnais Heights, this 5-acre private country estate has its own driveway and pond! Come, relax in this tranquil wooded retreat whose silence is broken only by birds, frogs and other wildlife. A gently rippling koi tank welcomes you at the door to the most charming 3-season porch. Owned by an artist couple, this lovely home has an ‘up north’, story-book feel, while also showcasing many stunning updates. Original house was built in 1957. The sellers added an addition in 2001, with vaulted ceilings, heated floors throughout, a master ensuite, and a unique loft that they used as an art studio. The upstairs loft is a large, versatile space and would make a dream studio, office, home business area, gym, more bedrooms, etc. Includes a 1/2 bath. The main floor has a dream kitchen with a SubZero fridge, full-size freezer, Viking range, Elkay industrial stainless sink and marble counters. Center island has Rosa Levante marble. Reverse osmosis drinking water. Beautiful brick and wood fireplace with slate mantlepiece. Slate and travertine floor tiles throughout the home. Open floor plan is great for entertaining. Two more bedrooms on the main level with a 3/4 bath. Downstairs there’s an open space to turn into a yoga room, gym, or a wood shop. Check out the sauna, the 4th bath room and a bonus room with egress window that could be a 4th bedroom. Basement walks out to garden with a handy mudroom. Outbuildings include 2-car garage, chicken coop with electricity, and hot tub barn with wood heater. Don’t miss the organic vegetable beds, apple trees, and mature old-growth trees. The sellers have pursued organic gardening principles over their 30+ years of occupancy enjoying  the bountiful annual harvests from the earth. An exquisitely rare opportunity to own a 5-acre paradise minutes from the Twin Cities.
