Minnesota has never been short on remarkable real estate, from Lake Minnetonka mansions to historic lakeshore retreats scattered across the state.

However, every so often, a listing comes along that plays in a different league entirely, and one just hit the market in the Duluth area that ranks among the most ambitious estates the Northland has ever seen.

Sitting on more than 20 rolling acres at 2824 Jean Duluth Road, this Minnesota estate was built in 2015 by Nor-Son Custom Builders and borders the celebrated Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve.

With 10,889 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a 2,000-bottle wine room, a heated pool, a stocked trout pond, panoramic Lake Superior views, and a lot more, it is the kind of property that rarely surfaces in the Duluth area.

Remarkable Property Now Listed For Nearly $12 Million In Duluth, Minnesota

Set on more than 20 acres above Lake Superior, this Nor-Son-built estate sits right up against the Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve, one of the most protected and scenic stretches of land anywhere near Duluth. It was finished in 2015, and at nearly 10,900 square feet, it offers a sense of scale that is hard to find this far north.

The kitchen is the heart of the main floor, tucked beneath a curved, Tuscan-style barrel ceiling. Two islands give you room to spread out, a walk-in pantry sits just off to the side, and the appliance package is built for cooking for a crowd rather than a weeknight dinner.

Step into the main living area, and the ceilings climb. A large fireplace anchors the room, which then opens into a dedicated piano room, and that tells you plenty about how the whole house is meant to be enjoyed.

The showstopper, though, might be the room the sellers call "The Lodge." At just under 1,300 square feet, it plays like a private Northwoods getaway dropped inside the house, all reclaimed wood and exposed post-and-beam work.

There is a stone fireplace, a wet bar, a wine room that holds roughly 2,000 bottles, and a screened porch right off it for the warmer months.

The owner's suite is practically its own apartment. At around 2,800 square feet on the main level, it includes two separate sitting areas, his-and-hers closets, a marble bathroom, a steam room, and yet another fireplace.

Head upstairs and you will find a loft, another guest suite, and a home office, all opening onto a large deck with long views of the lake and the trees. There is even a separate guest suite over the garage for company.

However, as impressive as the inside is, the outside really sets this one apart. There, you'll find a 1,000-square-foot screened veranda with its own outdoor kitchen that looks over a 36-by-18 heated pool and the water beyond.

Keep walking, and the grounds open into an apple orchard, a stocked trout pond, and a skating pond with a warming house for Minnesota winters.

The property also backs directly onto hundreds of acres of protected land at Hawk Ridge, and a neighboring 100-acre equestrian farm can be purchased separately.

All of this luxury is just minutes from downtown Duluth, the airport, and major medical facilities. Take a look through this impressive estate, which went on the market in June 2026 for $11,999,000.
