Luxury Mississippi Riverfront Home – Offered for the First Time
First opportunity to become the next owner of this extraordinary custom-crafted riverfront residence—a true signature property expertly designed and built in 2003 by renowned local master builder Mike Torborg. Perfectly positioned along one of the most sought-after stretches of the Mississippi River, this 14-mile expanse serves as your “aquatic main street,” anchoring a vibrant, recreation-driven community rich in history and lifestyle. Located just minutes from Stearns County Park in the quiet community of Rice and within the Sartell school district, this is a rare offering that combines privacy, quality, and convenience.
This walkout rambler offers approximately 4,500 square feet and is thoughtfully designed to embrace the beauty of the river from nearly every angle. Expansive windows on both the main and lower levels frame breathtaking waterfront views, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the natural surroundings.
Some homes simply stand out—but others have a soul. This home delivers an immediate sense of warmth, character, and cherished memories. Every detail has been carefully curated to enhance art, sculpture, and landscape, reflecting the sellers’ deep appreciation for both lifestyle and setting.
The grounds are exceptional, featuring tranquil fountains, a natural stream with a charming bridge, paver patios, multiple decks, and expansive green space—perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.
Upon entry, you are welcomed by stunning river views. The open-concept main level combines living, dining, and kitchen spaces, enhanced by sunrise views and evenings spent beside two striking stone fireplaces that anchor the home with timeless appeal.
The main floor includes a well-appointed owner’s suite with a private 4-fixture bath, walk-in closet, built-in storage, and its own private deck overlooking the river’s northern views. Additional main-level highlights include:
Main floor laundry
A private office (or potential additional bedroom) adjacent to a full bath
A convenient guest half-bath accessible from the garage
The kitchen is truly exceptional, featuring a center island, elevated counter seating, a pantry, beautiful maple cabinetry, and a window above the sink offering scenic water views.
The lower level mirrors the main floor’s thoughtful design, offering a full second kitchen, dining, and living space—ideal for entertaining or multi-generational living. With multiple walkouts to the patio, durable tiled flooring, and direct access to the tuck-under garage, this level is designed for easy summer living and riverside enjoyment.
Lower-level features include:
Two bedrooms (one with walk-through access to a full bath with sauna)
Additional flexible spaces that can serve as an office, workout room, or extra bedrooms
Ample storage and entertaining space
The heated tuck-under garage offers convenient access and is complemented by a smart driveway design for easy delivery of water gear and supplies. The main garage features three generous stalls, and the property also includes a detached 2+ stall accessory garage—ideal for hobbies, storage, or workshop use. All garages are heated with finished walls and floors.
Situated on 2.07 acres, the property feels like a private retreat while offering an unmatched connection to the Mississippi River lifestyle. Wildlife is abundant, with bald eagles often soaring overhead and deer roaming the surrounding landscape. The river itself offers world-class fishing and endless opportunities for boating and water sports. Explore nearby islands and multiple sandbars—perfect destinations for anchoring and enjoying long, leisurely afternoons on the water.
This is a home best experienced in person, where the craftsmanship, setting, and atmosphere truly come to life. Additional details can be found throughout the extensive professional photography accompanying the listing.
