About This Home

8616 Fisher Road

Tucked within scenic Great Mississippi River Ridge on 5.42 beautifully wooded acres just 10 miles outside of historic Galena, this sprawling 3 bed, 3 bath western-style retreat blends lodge-inspired architecture with timeless craftsmanship and over 4,000 square feet of warm, inviting living space set perched on a treed bluff offering seasonal glimpses of the Mississippi River, distant views of Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort, and breathtaking countryside views that span for miles, allowing this extraordinary estate to capture the spirit of the countryside no matter what the season! A long gravel drive leads you to a stunning timber-accented facade with log posts, antler details, and a welcoming covered porch that opens to a captivating great room, where a soaring wood-clad cathedral ceiling with exposed beam accents, rich Brazilian mahogany floors, a dramatic two-story stone fireplace, and a wall of windows create a true rustic centerpiece with sweeping views of the treetops and distant ridges beyond. The heart of the home is the warm, functional kitchen with hickory cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, backsplash with real fossil stone accent tiles, pantry and integrated bar nook with glass paneled doors, and a spacious island with seating, perfect for preparing meals and gathering with guests, that feeds directly to generous dining area with plenty of room to entertain. A screened-in porch with vaulted wood ceiling and fan offers a tranquil setting to enjoy the landscape year-round, while the expansive deck wraps around the home, offering an incredible outdoor area to enjoy the gorgeous setting and spectacular vistas and colorful sunsets. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a tray ceiling, a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins, large windows framing peaceful views and direct access to the rear deck with covered area and a luxurious ensuite bath that includes a jetted tub, dual vanity, and tiled walk-in shower, with a huge walk-in closet with built-in storage systems and integrated dressing area just outside. The main level also offers a cozy den or study with reclaimed, antique double door access, built-in shelving, bookcase and large windows, a laundry room with ample storage and folding space, conveniently located powder room, and a mudroom with storage lockers that leads to massive three car garage with workshop space, ample room for gear, vehicles, or recreational storage and staired access to enormous unfinished room above, great for storage or future creative expansion. Upstairs, a dramatic vaulted loft with wood-paneled ceilings and overlook railings offers a charming flex space for a reading nook, office, or relaxing escape, with integrated storage and closet area. Head to the partially finished walkout lower level with radiant in-floor heat in most portions to find a sweeping family room with plenty of area for relaxation or recreation plus direct access to the grounds below, roomy guest suite with gas fireplace and adjoining private bath that features vessel sink and tiled shower, additional comfortable bedroom with built-in drop-leaf desk, nicely appointed full bath with dual vessel sinks, tub/shower combo and urinal, enormous unfinished storage space and unfinished art studio (would make a great bedroom with finishing) with direct access to cozy patio and rear yard. Home is located within the coveted Great Mississippi River Ridge Conservation Community offering approximately 140 acres of protected land including dense forests, open meadows, recreational trails and a pond. Additional amenities include knotty alder doors, Eagle and Andersen windows, and gutter guards. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a nature-rich homestead, or a private retreat close to Galena's charm, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect balance of rustic elegance, modern comfort, and panoramic natural beauty.
