David Charlez Design has created this stunning modern ranch house situated on 40 acres of wooded land and prairie grasses in Medina, Minnesota. This dwelling has the perfect blend of rustic ranch and modern design. A combination of rough wood textures and clean box beams complements the stone fireplace in the great room. The hearth room fireplace is more modern with acid-washed metal panels and a sleek mantel crafted from trees cleared from their property before construction.

Just like you can’t judge a book by the cover, you can’t always judge the quality of a home by the level of finish. Poor soil conditions on the site required Nor-Son Custom Builders to adjust the placement of the home to higher topography and then secure the foundation with anchors that run deep into the ground. The result gave the homeowners the comfort that their home would be secure, and tremendous views of the prairie and improved views to the neighboring horse barn.

This 5,000-square-foot residence features soaring ceilings, panoramic views, and a charming covered front porch. It offers a refreshing atmosphere while not feeling too country.

What We Love: This gorgeous modern ranch house in Minnesota provides an elevated aesthetic, boasting clean lines and open and airy living spaces. Soaring ceilings in the great room have floor-to-ceiling windows that capture incredible views of the surrounding countryside. A modern lodge aesthetic was beautifully achieved through a woodsy palette that includes rough woods and clean box beams that are featured throughout this home. Overall, this home perfectly balances raw and rustic with more refined.
