878 Lakewood Hills Road S

Living in the Woods – A Rare Oak Savanna Retreat
Discover a secluded haven at 878 Lakewood Hills Road, nestled within a remnant of Minnesota’s rare native oak savanna. Surrounded by majestic burr oak, red oak, poplar, hickory, and cherry trees, this property offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort.
The landscape is alive with native plants and seasonal berries—elderberry, gooseberry, raspberry, and blackberry—attracting birds and wildlife to your backyard sanctuary. The current owners have lovingly restored the land, replacing old retaining walls with natural stone and planting species that reflect the area’s original prairie and savanna habitat.
The wooded acreage features trees at every stage of life, creating a dynamic, ever-changing landscape. Careful stewardship, including regular arborist visits, has kept the property healthy and vibrant. Minimal grass lawn enhances the natural setting, though there is ample space for lawn expansion if desired.
Whether you’re sipping coffee under towering oaks, walking trails through your own woods, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy, this property offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature—just minutes from downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
The property has been regularly monitored and cared for by a certified arborist.”
