Eagan MN 55123
If your idea of home is birdsong at sunrise, deer on the trail, and a neighborhood where nature surrounds—this oak savanna retreat offers just that. Located on over an acre of mature woodland overlooks a pond. With informal trail accessing Lebanon Hills Regional Park just across the road, the park’s main pavilion and trailheads are within walking distance.
A deer path crosses the back of the lot, and regular wildlife sightings include turkeys, foxes, raccoons, woodchucks, and possums. In one year, 70 bird species were observed here.
The two-story home features natural materials and handcrafted detail—granite countertops, artisan tilework, stone flooring, and hand-forged cabinet hardware and lighting. A sun-filled
living room with fireplace opens to a screened porch and a broad deck—perfect for watching wildlife or the changing seasons. The main floor includes both formal and informal dining areas,
a den or guest room, and a functional mudroom/laundry. Upstairs is a private ensuite primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. A 4th bedroom could easily be created on either the main or lower- level. The walkout lower-level offers a daylighted recreation space, a large family room, and storage.
The home is part of a neighborhood where houses were sited to follow the natural contours of the glacial moraine, preserving the character of the land rather than reshaping it. Here, woodland and prairie are part of the neighborhood identity.
