Property Description

Welcome to one level of luxury living in a modern farmhouse and enjoy life at Royal Golf Club—where luxury, lifestyle, and setting come together in one of the Twin Cities’ premier private golf communities. Positioned on one of the neighborhood’s most desirable homesites, this property offers beautiful views across the course along with a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly rare. Thoughtfully designed with true craftsmanship, enhanced with many upgrades throughout. The spacious main level provides three bedrooms, including the primary suite, 36" doors for accessibility and comfortable living. A main-level flex room offers endless opportunities such as a den, home office, playroom, library or music room and can be closed off with beautiful French doors. The 4th bedroom and full bath are located on the lower level - perfect for a private guest suite. The lower level has a fitness room and a large living space that is plumbed for a wet bar/ kitchen and can be tailored to the desired lifestyle. Designed for effortless main-level living, the open gourmet kitchen at the center of the home, provides a generous walk-in pantry, high-end stainless-steel Monogram appliances, and an excellent quartz countertop work area. Features include a well-appointed owner’s suite with peaceful golf course views, a spa-like bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, dual sinks, and a dressing room closet. The interior is defined by 11-foot ceilings on the main level, expansive room sizes, and tall interior doors that enhance the scale and architectural presence throughout. Natural light fills the spaces, adding warmth and highlighting the home’s refined finishes. One of the home’s most exceptional features is the ability to step into your backyard, take your golf cart directly onto the course, play a few holes, and continue on to the club for dinner or drinks with friends—an experience that truly captures the lifestyle offered here. The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully enhanced well beyond typical new construction, with a beautifully landscaped and fenced yard featuring established perennial gardens and curated plantings—creating a private, inviting setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Homeowners have the opportunity to purchase a membership to the Royal Golf Club, where there are also Pickleball Courts. Annika Sorenstam designed the front nine, as her first U.S. project, and Arnold Palmer's last design project was designing the back nine. There are also terrific walking paths and bike paths nearby. The HOA provides a pool and fitness facility—creating a well-rounded, resort-style environment. Set just minutes from the Twin Cities, the community of Lake Elmo offers a fabulous lifestyle year-round. The 2,100-acre Lake Elmo Park Reserve has abundant paths and trails, including lit, groomed cross-country ski trails in winter, playgrounds, a swimming pond, picnic areas, and a campground. Just down the road, a new state-of-the-art elementary school will open this August. In nearby downtown Lake Elmo, enjoy charming restaurants, boutiques, and wellness spaces. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living, natural beauty, and an active, connected community in a truly special setting.
