Welcome to a truly unique private retreat just minutes from Parkers Prairie and a short drive to Alexandria. Nestled on approximately 40 wooded acres overlooking the natural beauty of Fish Lake, this custom lodge-style home offers over 6,100 finished square feet of thoughtfully designed living space combining luxury, privacy, and outdoor recreation. Originally constructed in 2005 using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for exceptional strength and energy efficiency, the home features geothermal heating and cooling for extremely low operating costs year-round. While the exterior shell, roof, siding, and windows were completed in 2005, the home’s entire interior was professionally completed in 2025, making the living spaces essentially brand new from floor to ceiling. The current owner finished the entire 6,100 square feet, including fully insulated interior walls, new electrical by a licensed electrician, plumbing and carpentry by licensed contractors, along with new finishes, fixtures, appliances, and flooring throughout. The dramatic great room serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace framed by expansive windows capturing the surrounding landscape. Designed for gathering and entertaining, the open layout includes a spacious kitchen with large center island, multiple living areas, and a fully finished walkout lower level offering recreation space ideal for a theater, game room, fitness area, or guest accommodations. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful setting from the elevated deck or patio while taking in sweeping views of the surrounding woods, wetlands, and Fish Lake. The property’s 40 acres provide exceptional privacy along with opportunities for hunting, hiking, and outdoor recreation right out your door. Whether you’re seeking a private estate, family retreat, hunting lodge, or executive getaway, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind northern Minnesota retreat. Additional property features include a 3-story residential elevator providing convenient access to all levels of the home, a powerful 30,000-watt whole-property backup generator for reliable power during outages, and a large detached shop/garage equipped with its own geothermal in-floor heating system. The home also includes a below-ground reinforced concrete storm shelter and storage room with an integrated secure safe room, providing added protection and peace of mind.
