Overlooking the St. Croix River in Minnesota stands a remarkable 1940 stone house, affectionately known as “The Castle on the St. Croix.” This unique home was built with stone quarried entirely on site, giving it a true sense of place and permanence.
The house sits on six wooded acres, offering sweeping river views and an intimate connection to nature. Its rugged stone walls and commanding presence evoke the timeless strength of European country estates, yet it remains deeply rooted in the Minnesota landscape.
Located near the historic village of Marine on St. Croix and just minutes from William O’Brien State Park, the home is surrounded by history and natural beauty. Inside, its craftsmanship and design reflect a rare attention to detail, making it a striking example of early 20th-century stone architecture in the region.
This property is more than a home — it’s a living piece of local history, a private retreat that celebrates the enduring beauty of stone construction along one of America’s most scenic rivers.
