Immerse yourself in TOTAL SECLUSION with this rare opportunity to live on 11+ acres INSIDE Murphy Hanrehan Park Reserve. This incredibly private, ORIGINAL FAMILY-OWNED home is surrounded by Hennepin County parkland and was set up for horses. The home was personally designed for the family by FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S master draftsman, John Howe, with every consideration paid to Wright’s standards of design. The property features a detached garage, tool shed, plus two outbuildings for equestrian purposes. Inside this historically and architecturally-significant home made of organic materials, you’ll find walls of glass taking in sweeping views of untouched nature. Built-in furnishings throughout the home include window ledges and seats, bookcases, desks, the primary bed, and planter boxes. The floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace is constructed with over 16 TONS OF LIMESTONE! Other Frank Lloyd Wright components include angled walls, leaded stained glass windows and doors, and the sanctum off the primary bedroom, containing a deck and “bridge” to the exterior landscape. If you opt to have horses, you can ride right into Murphy Hanrehan Park, with over 13 miles of riding trails. There are no neighbors in the surrounding vicinity, so for those looking for architectural significance and complete privacy, this is definitely a must see! PLEASE NOTE: Any viewing of the property MUST be done with a licensed agent. Access to the property is strictly prohibited without written prior permission. Property is under surveillance and unauthorized access will be considered trespassing. Cash or conventional financing.
