This custom home is from the renowned Canadian company, True North Log and Timber Homes. Situated on an expansive yet private and quiet 40 acres with spectacular panoramic views of the Missouri River/Lake Oahe, this property offers opportunities for recreation, hunting, fishing, lodging, equestrian use, livestock or agriculture operations, and expansion. There is an abundance of fencing securing expansive grazing areas and two pastures planted in alfalfa (with two cuttings this past summer).
A mature mix of apple trees, pines, deciduous trees, various types of bushes, a luxurious row of mature lilacs, and oaks provide beauty and shade. Upon entering the stunning log home, you're greeted by a bright main-floor living room featuring striking southern-facing triangular transom and oversized windows that frame serene river vistas. Warm Douglas Fir beams and a cozy gas fireplace add to the ambiance, while the adjacent kitchen boasts granite countertops and ample pantry storage. Both the living room and the luxurious master suite--with its spacious walk-in closet, separate shower, and soaking tub--open directly onto an expansive wrap-around deck, perfect for enjoying sunrise with your morning coffee, evening BBQs, and breathtaking sunsets.
Upstairs, a charming and spacious loft overlooks the living room and captures those same stunning riverine vistas. The loft is accompanied by a convenient en-suite bedroom with a 3/4 bathroom and two closets for family or guests. The fully finished basement provides additional versatile living space with a welcoming family room, an additional bedroom with a large walk-in closet/storage, a laundry room with attached utility room, a full bathroom, and a walkout to a beautiful generous flagstone patio.
Outdoors, a detached three-stall garage includes an insulated office or hobby room with A/C, while the impressive barn features three approximately 15' x 10' stalls with over/under doors giving direct access to spacious paddocks, a hayloft with fantastic sunset views, and drive-through doors--ready for horses, livestock, or gear storage for hunting and fishing expeditions. The property is equipped with a reliable backup generator powered by propane for peace of mind.
Additional features include a small garden area with strawberries and raspberries, plus a cute garden shed matching the home for tools and gardening supplies. Recent updates include all-new windows & trim, fresh interior and exterior coordinating paint on all buildings, new flooring in the living, dining, and kitchen areas, a large deck stained in fall 2025, custom Roman shades in the living room, three new storm doors, driveway improvements, and new pine trees and shrubs.
The property offers exceptional outdoor recreation opportunities with a nearby boat ramp providing easy access to the Missouri River/Lake Oahe and PLOTS hunting access. Multiple potential outbuilding and lodging sites are available for future expansion, as are favorable locations for an equestrian/roping arena and round pen.
Equestrian and livestock facilities are well supported with fenced paddocks and pastures, a frost-free water riser in the pasture, and a frost-free automatic in-ground livestock watering tank. Productive alfalfa fields are located both north and south of the residence, and reliable rural water service provides added convenience and functionality for agricultural, livestock, and residential use.
This property beautifully combines authentic and unique square log craftsmanship and modern comforts in one of North Dakota's most scenic settings. Conveniently located nearby is Prairie Knights Casino & Resort, featuring upscale dining at the acclaimed Hunters Club, casual options including tasty pizza at Top This Pizza, live concerts, and a marina with a boat ramp granting easy access to prime fishing and boating--complete with a large campground, picnic areas, and scenic river views.
