Welcome to your English cottage dream on 12 acres in Hermantown. Nestled on a private and picturesque oasis, this enchanting 3+ bedroom, 2-bath home offers warmth, charm, and timeless appeal with its English cottage-style design and serene natural setting. Inside, the great room greets you with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with heat chamber, rich brick accents, and ash tongue-and-groove paneling, all creating a cozy, rustic atmosphere. An acoustic-tiled ceiling and skylight add brightness and character to the space. The kitchen features quartz countertops (installed just five years ago), tile flooring, and oak cabinetry, flowing seamlessly into a dining room with stunning original hardwood floors. The main-floor bathroom, fully remodeled in 2020, is a luxurious retreat with a jetted whirlpool tub, tile floors, and a cedar ceiling. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes ample closet space and a walk-in closet already plumbed for a potential third bathroom—offering flexibility and room to grow. The finished basement includes a 3-year-old epoxy floor, a bedroom with an egress window, and a family room with its own egress, making it ideal for a future fourth bedroom or additional living space. The home’s incredible 36x57, 3+ car detached garage combines functionality and imagination with a heated slab, dedicated workshop area, and a spacious gambrel loft—currently unfinished but brimming with potential for a basketball court, studio, guest quarters, or whatever you dream up. Outside, enjoy a true Northland wood-fired sauna complete with a dressing room, running water, and a cozy loft space above perfect for guests or a creative hideaway. In the winter, a lighted pond offers the perfect spot for ice skating, while the warmer months invite you to explore mowed trails through the pines, perennial gardens, and mature fruit trees. You’ll also find an impressive spread of tame raspberries—some as large as a nickel—and juicy blackberries, making this a paradise for gardeners, foragers, and anyone who loves the outdoors. More than 6,000 new Spruce and Norway Pines have been added over the last decade. This is more than just a home; it’s a lifestyle retreat filled with space, comfort, and endless possibilities in the heart of Hermantown. Electric: $277/mo average
