🌿 Blufftop Estate on 36 +/- Private Acres Overlooking Elk River Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind residence nestled on a bluff overlooking the scenic Elk River Valley. Privately positioned at the end of a wooded ¼-mile drive, this custom-built estate spans 36 acres and offers privacy, expansive views, and room to breathe. Built by a pilot with a love for open skies and natural light, the 7-bedroom home features a spacious, open-concept layout, a main-level master suite, and a separate full in-law suite — perfect for multigenerational living or guest accommodations. Oversized windows flood the interior with light and frame panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully constructed with steel beam support, CAT-5 wiring, and a reinforced 12x11 safe room, this home blends beauty with durability. A 3-car garage provides ample storage and convenience. Just across the patio sits the original family homestead cabin, ready to be finished into a guest house, office, or studio. Outdoor features include wooded trails, blufftop views, river frontage with access for canoeing or exploring, a 40x40 pad, and a full RV hookup — ideal for guest parking, extended stays, or future expansion. Whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a property with space for extended family and guests, this Elk River blufftop estate offers rare flexibility, privacy, and a stunning natural setting.
