5135 Lonsdale Boulevard

Set along a winding drive through rolling meadows beneath magnificent historic oak trees, this extraordinary Mediterranean-inspired country estate offers a rare blend of architectural elegance, natural serenity, and exceptional versatility. Extensively remodeled in 2021, the residence was thoughtfully reimagined to blend the warmth of Mediterranean and Spanish influences with timeless Minnesota farmhouse character, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail throughout. Designed to embrace seamless indoor-outdoor living, expansive Marvin windows—many featuring graceful arched detailing—fill the home with natural light while framing breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Long sightlines and a thoughtfully designed floor plan create an effortless flow, making the home equally suited for intimate everyday living and grand-scale entertaining. A stunning gallery hallway opens through French doors to an expansive slate patio, perfectly positioned to capture spectacular western sunsets. Exposed ceiling beams and elegant archways establish a timeless architectural rhythm throughout the home, while a custom arched wrought-iron front door with operable glass panels welcomes fresh air and introduces the exquisite ironwork echoed in the lighting, railings, balconies, and custom fixtures. Complementing the main residence is a charming guest house featuring hardwood floors, a full kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping loft—ideal for extended family, overnight guests, a private home office, or an artist's studio. The property also features an extraordinary historic barn constructed of massive hand-hewn timbers, many still retaining their original bark, offering an authentic glimpse into the property's rich heritage. Once operated as a successful wedding venue, the barn is complemented by an approximately 1,800-square-foot heated and insulated lean-to, providing exceptional flexibility for entertaining, equipment storage, workshops, hobby space, or future event opportunities. Surrounded by scenic countryside and thoughtfully designed improvements, this remarkable estate offers endless possibilities—from multi-generational living and private retreats to equestrian pursuits, wellness experiences, live music, destination events, or simply embracing an unparalleled country lifestyle. Peacefully secluded within the highly regarded Northfield School District, yet located less than 40 minutes from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the property offers a rare balance of privacy, accessibility, and timeless beauty. For those seeking an even more extraordinary legacy property, an additional 88± acres are available for purchase, creating a rare opportunity to expand this exceptional estate into one of the region's premier country estates.
