A custom-built residence by Charles Cudd, originally completed in 2008 and thoughtfully reimagined in 2021 by West Bay Homes. Set on 3.51 private acres, this exceptional estate unfolds across tiered lawns and manicured gardens, where winding steppingstones and stairways lead to secluded vantage points overlooking the Minnesota River Valley woodlands and surrounding trail system. Despite its tranquil, enclave-like setting, the home remains conveniently located just 20 minutes from MSP International Airport and 15 minutes from Flying Cloud Airport.

A long paver driveway leads to the heated three-car garage featuring 12-foot ceilings and 28-foot-deep bays, finished with epoxy flooring. The space is equipped with floor drains, a dog wash station, utility sink, and Tesla charging station—combining luxury with everyday practicality.

Inside, airy 10-foot ceilings span both the main and lower levels, creating an immediate sense of openness and elegance. The foyer welcomes guests with refined ceiling millwork, designer lighting, rich wall treatments, and a custom staircase runner that complements the home’s sophisticated aesthetic. Brazilian walnut floors throughout the main level have been resurfaced in a soft whitewashed finish, while a cohesive interior and exterior color palette enhances the home’s timeless architecture.

French doors and expansive windows surround the primary living spaces, filling the home with natural light and providing seamless access to the multi-level limestone pool terrace. The outdoor retreat features a saltwater infinity pool, hot tub, reflecting pool, and private putting green—set within a peaceful wooded backdrop that offers exceptional privacy and scenic views.

The kitchen has been fully transformed into a refined culinary space, featuring level-five natural stone surfaces, custom-designed cabinetry, and curated tile and lighting details. Professional-grade appliances include Wolf and Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual dishwashers, and a warming drawer. A large natural stone sink anchors the main island, while a Kohler cast iron farmhouse sink serves the secondary prep kitchen. Additional amenities include an instant hot water faucet, abundant pantry storage, smoothie station, wine cooler, coffee bar, and Rohl plumbing fixtures throughout.

The main-level primary suite is designed as a private sanctuary, offering expansive nature views and direct access to the pool terrace and hot tub. A gas fireplace adds warmth and elegance, while the spa-inspired bath features an extended vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beam, a statement chandelier, marble and brass vanity lighting, and luxurious finishes throughout. The space also includes a steam shower, heated travertine tile floors, and a jetted soaking tub, along with custom closet systems and refined window treatments.

The Great Room is defined by an impressive 18-foot vaulted ceiling and a natural stone gas fireplace. The space has been thoughtfully simplified for a balanced and elegant layout, highlighted by architectural details and a striking arched mirror feature.

The walkout lower level is designed for entertaining and recreation. A custom wet bar with natural stone and wood detailing is fully equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, creating an ideal gathering space. The adjacent billiards room flows seamlessly from the bar area, while double arched doors lead into a fully soundproofed, three-tier in-home theater featuring a 110-inch projection screen, immersive sound and video systems, theatrical stage curtains, custom lighting, and a dramatic star-lit ceiling.

Additional lower-level amenities include a spacious fitness studio with full-height mirrored walls and ample room for training and wellness.

Designed to elevate daily living, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends thoughtful architecture, refined materials, and resort-inspired amenities. From relaxation and recreation to entertaining and everyday comfort, the estate offers a rare opportunity to experience luxury living in one of the Twin Cities’ most scenic natural settings.
