6560 Norris Lake Rd NW Elk River, MN 55330

Welcome to The Four Pines! From gardening to guest house, this property has it all, spread out over just under 29 extraordinary acres. You can kayak, fish the creek or Pinnaker Lake, saddle up for a trail ride, sit in a deer stand, hide out in a duck blind, run a business, or watch the wildlife. There are hiking and horse trails, a spring-fed pond, grassland pastures, and extensive waterfront. If you like farm-fresh produce, you're set for the season - or start canning and enjoy the harvest year-round. There is a 1,500-sq.-ft. garden, fully fenced, that is up and running, along with pear, plum, and apple trees, raspberries, and grapes. For shooting practice, a pistol range and a long-range rifle lane are safely carved into the woods. A two-story chicken coop has room for 30 chickens and includes a hatchery. With over an acre of divided, fenced pasture, you can raise meat for your family or stop boarding your horses and finally bring them home. If you have always dreamed of running your business from home, we have you covered there, too. The guest house is a fully functioning one-bedroom home, including laundry and a 3/4 bath, with a shop in the back. The woodshop area was previously used by a dog breeder, and it's still set up with dog doors leading to a fully fenced side yard. This space could easily be used for dog boarding, a guest house, an art studio, a gym, or whatever plan you have in mind. Maybe you can set up shop and sell your garden goodies, jam, and sourdough! Just chat with the city to see what's allowed. It's deck-sitting season, and there is an exceptional amount of outdoor entertaining area. A huge back deck overlooks the land and pond, while a spacious front deck overlooks the garden and welcomes your friends. Both are the perfect destination for morning coffee, stargazing, or meals with your favorite people. An open living room with custom built-in bench seating and storage, along with a glass-front wood-burning stove, is the heart of the home. Windows and glass doors overlook the property, and there's nothing quite like sitting in this space, enjoying the view, with a crackling fire to keep you warm. The kitchen provides ample room for cooking, and you'll love the stainless appliances, including a brand-new gas range and dishwasher. The dining area sits in front of a picture window overlooking the farm and lakes. Off the kitchen is a laundry room with a newer washer and dryer, powder room, and mudroom that opens to the 2+ car garage. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms on one level, including a primary bedroom with an outstanding walk-in closet and built-in vanity with storage. The fantastic bath features a jetted garden tub overlooking the mature trees and endless blue sky. The entire main floor, stairs, and full second level have brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring. Off the living room is an XL dog door providing easy access for your pooch to head out to the deck and down the stairs to the huge, fully fenced dog yard. The walkout lower level is the game room, billiard space, and lounge you've been waiting for. Rack up and play pool, throw darts, slide the shuffleboard, or enjoy your custom-built wet bar complete with a sink, glassware washer, and refrigerator. The bar area was built from locally sourced 100+ year-old barnwood, and the bar tops were custom-made in the woodshop. A beautiful walnut display cabinet is the front to your very own hidden vault, complete with an electromagnetic security lock and keypad, custom slat walls, and lighting. If it's valuable, you can store it in your walk-in vault. There is substantial built-in storage in the utility room, perfect for your canned goods, and a room dedicated to growing seedlings for your garden. This property is the up-and-running farmstead you've been looking for, and it's just waiting for you. Welcome Home!
