About this home
Simplify your space. Elevate your lifestyle. Discover exceptional one-level luxury living in this beautifully finished modern farmhouse at The Royal Golf Club, where sophisticated design, generous spaces and an extraordinary golf lifestyle come together. Positioned on one of the neighborhood’s most desirable homesites, the property enjoys beautiful views across the course along with a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
Thoughtfully designed with true craftsmanship and enhanced with extensive upgrades, the modern farmhouse-style home offers expansive main-level living without sacrificing the spaces that make life comfortable. Three bedrooms are located on the main level, including the owner’s suite, along with 36-inch doors that enhance accessibility and ease of movement. A versatile main-level flex room, enclosed with beautiful French doors, can serve as a den, home office, library, music room, playroom or whatever best suits your lifestyle.
At the heart of the home, the open gourmet kitchen combines cohesive design with exceptional function. Quartz countertops provide abundant workspace, complemented by high-end stainless-steel Monogram appliances, excellent storage and a generous walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living spaces, creating an inviting setting for everyday living as well as gatherings with family and friends.
The owner’s suite is a beautifully appointed private space with peaceful golf course views, a spa-inspired bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower, separate soaking tub and dual sinks, plus a generous dressing-room closet. Throughout the main level, 11-foot ceilings, expansive room sizes and tall interior doors create an impressive sense of scale and architectural presence. Abundant natural light adds warmth while highlighting the home’s refined finishes.
The finished lower level provides another dimension of living space with a fourth bedroom and full bath—ideal as a private guest suite—along with a generous living and recreation area. Plumbing is already in place for a future wet bar or kitchenette, allowing the space to evolve for entertaining, hobbies, guests or whatever comes next.
One of the home’s most distinctive features is the connection to The Royal itself. Step into the backyard, take your golf cart directly onto the course, enjoy a few holes and continue on to the club for dinner or drinks with friends. It is an experience that captures what makes living here so special: more time enjoying the lifestyle you love, just outside your door.
The outdoor spaces have also been thoughtfully enhanced well beyond what is typically found with new construction. The fenced and beautifully landscaped yard features established perennial gardens, curated plantings and irrigation, creating an inviting outdoor setting to enjoy throughout the seasons.
Homeowners can purchase membership at The Royal Golf Club, with golf and pickleball among the available club amenities. The course itself is particularly distinctive: Annika Sorenstam designed the front nine as her first U.S. course-design project, while Arnold Palmer designed the back nine as his final course-design project. Walking and biking paths throughout the area further extend the active lifestyle.
The neighborhood HOA provides an outdoor pool and fitness facility, adding even more opportunities for recreation and connection close to home.
Just minutes from the Twin Cities, Lake Elmo offers an exceptional lifestyle in every season. Nearby Lake Elmo Park Reserve encompasses approximately 2,100 acres with miles of walking and recreation trails, groomed and lighted cross-country ski trails in winter, playgrounds, a swimming pond, picnic areas and camping. A new state-of-the-art elementary school is also nearby, while downtown Lake Elmo offers charming restaurants, boutiques, community amenities and wellness destinations.
Your opportunity to simplify the way you live while elevating the experience— better than new!...
