Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Deer Lake's most iconic properties. Perfectly positioned on 1.33 acres with 171 feet of pristine shoreline, this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architectural masterpiece was designed in 1963 by renowned architect Elizabeth Close for Governor Elmer L. Anderson and his wife, Eleanor. Thoughtfully integrated into its natural surroundings, the property offers exceptional privacy while directly adjoining more than 120 acres of protected conservancy land featuring scenic hiking trails that will remain forever undeveloped. This is a truly one-of-a-kind setting where timeless architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. See the supplements for the fascinating history of this extraordinary home and its distinguished legacy. Deer Lake is celebrated for its crystal-clear water, outstanding fishing, and exceptional water quality. Conveniently located less than an hour from the Twin Cities and just minutes from the charming towns of St. Croix Falls and Balsam Lake, you'll enjoy easy access to local dining, wineries, shopping, and year-round recreation. Properties of this architectural significance and remarkable setting rarely become available, offering an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Wisconsin history.
