North Branch MN Sunrise Trails home for sale | 4-bedroom updated 2002 home with solar, pond views & river access on Lanesboro Way. Welcome to 10617 Lanesboro Way — a meticulously maintained and extensively updated home in the highly coveted Sunrise Trails rural cluster community on the Sunrise River. This thoughtfully designed hamlet balances privacy and community with 82 acres of association-owned common land, including more than 55 acres of preserved hardwood forest, ponds and wetlands, open green space, over six miles of walking and ski trails, a canoe landing, picnic areas, and private tent camping sites along the river. The shared septic system is professionally regulated and maintained by the association, while restrictive covenants protect the natural character of the neighborhood. The neighborhood children can attend either Chisago Lakes or North Branch school systems with bus service provided at the driveway. Wildlife abounds, and nature is literally at your doorstep.
Pride of ownership is immediately evident. Since purchasing in 2016, the owners have invested extensively in updates and enhancements that elevate both comfort and quality. Highlights include a new high-quality roof (2024), all-new Andersen Renewal windows and patio doors (2025), 36 solar panels on the detached garage (2024), a newer concrete driveway, professional landscaping, and a handsome composite two-tiered deck. The attached heated garages and heated workshop provide exceptional storage and workspace. The detached 40×32 garage with covered patio, concrete floor, work bench and electricity provides generous storage for boats, trailers, and equipment. Water treatment systems (including Rid-O-Rust and filtration), updated mechanicals, solid wood doors, and quality finishes throughout reflect careful stewardship. The solar panels generate most of the house’s electricity year-round and income during high sun periods.
Inside, the open kitchen features granite countertops, custom oak cabinetry with pullouts, stainless steel appliances, and ceramic tile. A gas fireplace anchors the vaulted living room, which flows toward expansive views of the pond and surrounding woods. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite with a jetted tub, separate shower, and granite counters.
