An exceptional home and opportunity awaits! The Hong House on Heath Creek was originally constructed next to the grounds of Saint Olaf College in 1940, and was later moved down the hill, to its present site along 340 feet of Heath Creek shoreline. It was then expanded and later benefited from extensive updating in the 2000’s. Created and built by the owners, Dr. Howard Hong and wife Edna, enhanced by the design expertise of Dr. Hong’s friend and colleague, Art Professor Arnold Flaten, the home is a masterpiece. This home is grand and robust, and at the same time, infused with a welcoming playfulness, a perfect reflection of the extraordinary couple who built and nurtured this extraordinary home. Set upon 2 parcels totaling 2 acres, among professionally landscaped grounds, with meandering aggregate paths, a circular drive, with decks and patio spaces, this country estate is a sanctuary but still within view of Saint Olaf College and just a mile from the city. At over 4300 finished square feet, with 5 fireplace features, four bedroom and four baths, three living and food prep areas, a library, flex and sitting rooms, sauna, indoor whirlpool, zoned heating and so much more, the home offers an endless array of possibilities. Rich construction elements are found everywhere, with a heavy emphasis on limestone and wood, the home offering two distinct moods. The upper level is bright, open, vaulted and bright, with a stunning array of windows, with a decided Scandinavian flare. The lower level has a grotto type feel, with earthy ceramic tile floors running throughout, and darker woods and more cozy spaces. Two “stacks” on the upper level feature a library and a large flex room. The home received an extensive makeover between 2006 – 2025. New insulated cedar shake roof in 2006, new insulated flat roof and new skylights in 2022, multiple new Pella Architectural grade windows in 2008, remodeled sauna and hottub in 2010, electrical updates in 2012 and 2023, new sidewalks, garage apron and paved circular driveway in 2014, new septic system and well in 2021, new Aqua Water Softening System in 2022, a newly remodeled kitchen in 2023 with brand new, high end appliances, and new chimney liners, new caps and retucking. During 2024 – 2025, a lower level bath received a new ceiling and new shower valves, drain tile and a sump pump was added, new sliding glass doors, some front siding replacement, a radon mitigation system were also added. Through effort, and extensive investment, the home is now in outstanding condition and move-in-ready for you. No other home is like this one, a home perfect for people who relish life, just like the couple who created it.

Nestled just 3 miles down a quiet road off Cannon City Boulevard, between Faribault and Northfield, this dreamy 10-acre estate is the perfect blend of upscale comfort, country charm, and wide-open potential.

Step inside to find thoughtful craftsmanship and warm, inviting finishes throughout. The main level features beautiful custom woodwork, an open-concept great room and a spacious kitchen and dining area that lends views and access to a 20x13 maintenance-free deck, perfect for entertaining or peaceful evenings under the stars. The serene primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bath, while two additional main-floor bedrooms provide flexibility for family or guests...or the ability to have an office if you only need the two bedrooms on the main. A massive laundry room on the main floor provides ease and ensures no outdoor dirty clothes need to come inside. Downstairs, the fully finished walkout lower level is designed for both comfort and function. In-floor heat, a cozy fireplace, and expansive recreation space create an ideal setting for gatherings or quiet evenings. A second kitchen and bar area, complete with hickory cabinetry, granite counters, a wine chiller, dishwasher, microwave, and ice maker, makes hosting effortless. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom offer a perfect setup for guests, teens, or multi-generational living. Downstairs you will also find the only unfinished space of this home-a perfect workout room, or storage area. The oversized three-stall garage features high ceilings, floor drains, and hot/cold water spigots, right off the large laundry/mudroom and half bath. Whether you’re coming in from outdoor adventures, farm chores, or entertaining, this setup is as practical as it is polished. Outside, the lifestyle options are endless. Relax on the charming front porch, explore the wooded trails to the north (approximately half the property is wooded), or enjoy the large green space complete with a playground and bonfire pit. There’s a designated area for horses or animals, which features a fenced-in pasture area off the 20x40 shed that was custom built for horses with two separate stalls but could be used for any kind of animal or hobby. Near the home you will notice an impressive outbuilding: a 48x56 pole shed with a 36x24 heated workshop and additional lean-to storage in the back. Major updates include a new roof, gutters, and downspouts in 2022, a new boiler in 2019, a new pressure tank in 2022, and a brand-new septic system in 2025-offering both beauty and peace of mind. Bring your business, your hobbies, your horses, and your dreams...there is truly space for it all here. This one-of-a-kind property offers the rare opportunity to live beautifully, spread out comfortably, and thrive fully.
