The 5-bedroom, 6.5-plus-bathroom home sits quietly on a private island about a half-mile offshore on Bald Eagle Lake. While it looks isolated and harder to get into than Fort Knox, the owner told Realtor.com that it’s fairly easy to reach the house.

“In the winter, you would drive across [on the ice]” owner Nathan Landucci told Realtor. “In the summer, you would boat across. In the transition time, we have a Hovercraft that comes with the house and it hovers over water, ice, snow, anything.”

But once the issue of reaching the island is secure, the pristine elegance of the 9,414-square-foot home overwhelms in the best way possible. From the breathtaking views from every window, to the technology-based sleekness that comes with owning a smart home, the home is definitely a hidden treasure.

“You get 360-degree views of water, and it’s very private. You don’t really have any neighbors,” Landucci said to Realtor. “It’s a cool thing to have — and it’s really a trophy property in the Twin Cities. For somebody who has the wherewithal to buy an island, it’s something that’s so unique.”
