Land with Home for Sale in Rochester, Minnesota
1635 Chippewa Dr NW, Rochester, MN 55901
Set on 2 private acres in Rochester, this distinctive walkout ranch offers something rarely found in the conventional acreage market: a fully completed outdoor environment designed for recreation, entertaining, and four-season enjoyment. Nearly $600,000 has been invested in the professionally designed outdoor setting, including extensive retaining walls, paved walkways, stone and rockwork, sculptures, multiple patios, a decorative pond with fountains and goldfish, and maintenance-free Trex decking along two sides of the home. Much of what appears to be landscaping is permanent, thoughtfully engineered infrastructure-already established and ready to enjoy without the years of construction and disruption required to recreate it elsewhere. Mature trees, perennial gardens, a large fire-pit area, an expansive level lawn, and a 16-zone irrigation system complete this private retreat. Inside, the grand foyer opens to a light-filled great room overlooking the grounds. The main level supports comfortable one-level living with a spacious primary suite and private hot-tub access, an elegant library with heated floors and a gas fireplace, a generous dining room, and an inviting kitchen with granite countertops and abundant workspace. The walkout lower level provides three additional bedrooms, a family room with a coffered ceiling, a game room, and a wet bar-creating flexible space for guests, recreation, and extended gatherings. Garage and hobby space are equally impressive. The heated and air-conditioned three-car attached garage offers more than 1,000 square feet with extensive built-in cabinetry. A separate 740-square-foot heated and air-conditioned outbuilding adds exceptional flexibility for storage, hobbies, or projects and includes a potting station with a commercial stainless-steel countertop and sink. This free-standing climate-controlled building could be converted into a mother-in-law casita. Meticulously maintained and ready for selective personalization, this is more than a two-acre home. It is a private Rochester retreat offering a lifestyle that would be extraordinarily difficult and costly to reproduce.
