A Rare Afton Opportunity: 5.01 Private Acres, Room to Roam, Room to Build! Afton doesn't give up acreage like this often — and when it does, it doesn't stay on the market long. Named for the Robert Burns poem "Sweet Afton" and home to Afton Alps (the largest ski and snowboard area in the Twin Cities metro) and Olympic gold medalist Jessie Diggins, this is a community with genuine character, tucked minutes from everything you need and a world away from everything you don't. This 5.01-acre parcel is one of only a small handful in Afton offering true acreage at this price point — and it delivers exactly what serious buyers are looking for. Brick pillars mark the entrance to a reasonably long, circular driveway that winds through a treelined, private setting along a quiet, gently curving street just off Manning Avenue and minutes to I-94. From the moment you turn in, the privacy speaks for itself. The Outbuilding Buyers Actually Want. Tucked neatly in the middle of this private parcel sits a 50x30 pole building — stucco exterior, cement floor, electric already run. This isn't an afterthought outbuilding; it's the kind of shop, storage, or hobby space acreage buyers specifically go looking for, and at this price point, it may well exceed expectations. A 31x29 oversized, heated and insulated 3-car garage rounds out the parking, workspace, and storage picture — a serious draw for anyone who values their gear as much as their home. A sought-after one-level rambler with a walkout lower level, offering a flexible, well-loved floor plan: Large front living area, open to a spacious eat-in kitchen at the rear with a slider to a large deck overlooking a wonderful backdrop. Kitchen flows openly into the main-floor family room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace finished in hickory veneer. Three bedrooms on the main level, served by a full bath; the primary suite is vaulted with dual closets and a 3/4 ensuite. Lower level features a second, expansive family room with wet bar and slate floor surround, plus its own walkout. Adjacent 3/4 bath, plus a bonus room with French doors — office, craft room, or non-conforming 5th bedroom. Down the hall: utility/laundry room and the legal 4th bedroom. Recent Updates: Andersen windows (2015), solid oak paneled doors throughout, updated water heater, and a lower level finished in 2006. Acreage. Privacy. A shop that checks every box. A one-level floor plan with room to spread out. In Afton, at a moderate price. This is the wish-list property buyers have been waiting for — and there's only been one other like it.

Beyond the gates, 48 extraordinary acres unfold in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley—a private sanctuary where architecture, craftsmanship, and nature exist in remarkable harmony. Tucked at the end of a long private drive, this landmark barndominium estate is enveloped by wooded acreage and expansive 360-degree views, offering a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from Woodbury, Stillwater, and the historic village of Afton. From the moment you arrive, the scale is undeniable, yet it is the feeling that lingers. Astounding reclaimed barn timbers lend the residence a warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated, while impeccable craftsmanship transforms every detail into something worthy of admiration. Reclaimed hardwood floors, barn doors, cabinetry, and trim tell a story of another era, thoughtfully reimagined for a life of extraordinary comfort. Walls of glass and expansive sliding doors invite the surrounding landscape indoors, shifting the experience of the home with every season and every hour of the day. At its heart, the great room rises beneath a grand vaulted, beamed ceiling, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. It is a setting equally suited to quiet mornings and unforgettable evenings. The chef’s kitchen, centered around a generous island and exquisite Quartzite, flows effortlessly into the open living and dining spaces, creating an environment made for gathering without ever feeling formal. Beyond, a three-season porch opens to a terrace overlooking the resort-style pool and built-in fire pit—a private stage for long summer afternoons, twilight cocktails, and evenings that naturally extend well beyond sunset. The private quarters are equally considered. A serene main-level primary suite offers a spa-like retreat, while additional bedroom suites and a separate living residence provide remarkable flexibility for household members, guests, extended stays, or staff. A world-class private fitness studio elevates the everyday, complete with a wet bar, amusement room, and additional garage stall or storage. Its possibilities are limited only by imagination: guest house, creative studio, entertainment pavilion, party barn, or something entirely your own. Here, there is room to pursue every version of life. Work in privacy. Train without leaving home. Create. Entertain. Retreat into nature and disappear into your own adventures. Give the dogs their own space. Gather around the fire. Swim beneath an open sky. Or simply do nothing at all. An indoor dog kennel, impressive bunker/storage room, heated six-car attached garage, and countless flexible spaces ensure that this estate adapts effortlessly to the way you live—not the other way around. And then there is the land. The sights and sounds of nature surround you, uninterrupted. Woodland, open sky, changing seasons, and the quiet rhythm of the valley create an atmosphere increasingly difficult to find—and nearly impossible to reproduce. A residence of this caliber is rare. A setting of this scale is rarer still. Together, they create something beyond luxury: a legacy property with the presence, privacy, and possibility to become whatever you envision. This is more than a home. It is a way of life few will ever experience—and an opportunity that may never present itself again.

**Seller is offering a $3,000 Closing Cost Credit (or Rate Buydown) and free appraisals through a preferred lender. The promotion is available for eligible loans locked by October 23, 2026.** Built in 1858, the same year Minnesota became a state, this historic farmhouse occupies one of the most storied addresses in Afton's Old Village — a rare opportunity to own a pre-statehood Minnesota house in a walkable, riverside historic district. The 1,281-square-foot residence offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom across two levels, with tall original proportions, a layout that has flexed gracefully through nearly two centuries, plus a lower-level room with its own utility space for added flex use. A historically informed exterior color palette — warm beige siding, crisp alabaster trim, and a deep green door — restores the home's presence on the street while preserving its 19th-century character. The main-level family room is generously sized enough to offer single-level living potential: a buyer could convert this space into a main-floor primary suite, reducing the need for stairs while preserving the upstairs bedrooms for guests, family, or a home office. It's a layout option that pairs the home's historic charm with the practicality that today's buyers increasingly lo ok for. What sets this property apart from a typical antique farmhouse is what sits beside it: a 1,000-square-foot heated studio with its own half bath, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) already on file with the City of Afton, and 5 dedicated parking stalls. This is a genuine live/work opportunity — the kind of home business setup most owners spend years and thousands of dollars pursuing through city approval before they can even begin. Here, it is already in place, well suited to an appointment-based or studio-scale use such as a wellness or massage studio, art studio or maker space, salon or private therapy practice, specialty retail with a workshop, photography or design studio, or professional office. Buyers should confirm directly with the City of Afton exactly what the CUP authorizes before committing it to a specific use. The setting is what makes the opportunity real. Step off the large front porch and you are a tenth of a mile from Afton's village center — coffee, dining, the marina, and the St. Croix River are all within an easy stroll along streets recently rebuilt as part of a multi-million-dollar infrastructure and flood-protection program that included a FEMA-certified levee. This is the same historic district where the 150-year-old Afton House Inn, Selma's Ice Cream Parlor, and a wave of new boutique businesses have chosen to invest in recent years, citing the same walkability and small-town character this property sits in the middle of. The property is served by Afton-Lakeland Elementary, Oak-Land Middle School, and Stillwater Area High School, part of a district whose assigned high school carries a 9-of-10 rating.
