Also on the market from Lundie is 801 Pine Cone Trail in Marine on St. Croix. The $2.15 million home that’s about 45 minutes northeast of the metro has the nickname “Castle on the St. Croix,” as the nearly 3,800 square-foot house built from stone quarried on site literally perches on the edge of the St. Croix River.
The Northwest Architectural Archives refers to the house as the D.D. MacMillan Country House. MacMillan, a member of the Cargill clan, initially commissioned a much larger house for a country hunting lodge. But in 1939, two months after construction began, MacMillan died. His sons took on the project but asked Lundie to simply make the house livable.
“It was not completed to the original grand-scale Norman fortification,” O’Toole said. “But it remains a beautiful property.”
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stocke designed 912 Folwell Dr. in Rochester in 1968. Now listed for $1.2 million, the nearly 6,000-square-foot house also came from a family with multi-generational Lundie ties.
The Stockes, like the Driscolls, were second-generation Lundie clients, O’Toole said. Stocke was a contractor who built many of the Mayo Clinic buildings. For Stocke’s family, Lundie also designed a timber cabin perched on a North Shore bluff overlooking Lake Superior.
