Experience life in the heart of the Fields of St. Croix neighborhood, widely regarded as one of Minnesota’s earliest and most thoughtfully designed conservation communities. Created with long-term stewardship in mind, more than half of the original acreage was preserved as permanent open space protected by conservation easements. Miles of trails wind through restored prairie lands surrounding Lake Goetchel, while carefully planned streetscapes and timeless architecture define the neighborhood. A beautifully restored Civil War–era barn serves as a beloved gathering place for neighborhood events and private celebrations—an enduring symbol of the community’s blend of historic preservation and intentional design.
Set on nearly an acre and bordering protected conservation land, 11828 44th Street Lane enjoys scenic views of the lake, visiting wildlife, and the historic barn across the water. A sunny southwest-facing front porch offers a warm welcome for friends and family, while refreshed garden spaces are ready for spring planting and enhanced by a newly installed sprinkler system.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light, featuring large windows, tall ceilings, and open, gracious living spaces. The walkout lower level opens to a private backyard with a patio and space for a hot tub, complete with wiring already in place. The entire upper level is dedicated to a private owner’s retreat, including a spacious bedroom, expansive dressing room, luxurious bathroom, and a versatile flex space ideal for a nursery, yoga studio, or media room.
The main level offers excellent work-from-home flexibility, along with a separate music room or library. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, new laundry appliances, fresh paint in select rooms, new carpeting, and a generous workout space featuring impact-absorbing rubber flooring. The attached garage is 625 SF, providing space for storage and work benches.
Professional photos coming soon. Available for showings beginning February 3.
