These are the highest-priced home sales reported in East Metro & St. Croix Valley, Minnesota for the week ending October 25, 2026. Together the five homes sold for a combined $7.259 million, with prices running from $2,525,000 down to $899,000.

No. 1 — $2,525,000 · 7390 Keswick, Grant Township, Minnesota
The week’s top sale was a new estate by Kootenia Homes in the Elliott Crossing community of Grant Township, and it sold for $2,525,000. The home sits on 7.86 heavily wooded acres surrounded by mature tree lines and preserved wetlands. Completed in 2026, it is the largest of the five by living area, with 6,531 square feet on two stories above a daylight lower level.
Its most unusual space is on that lower level: a two-story indoor sport court for play in any season. The kitchen’s walk-in scullery, which has double ovens, has a window that looks down into the court, and the exercise room looks into it as well. The same level adds a theater with a 100-inch screen, a lounge built around a wet bar and a fifth bedroom suite.
The main level is open, with 10-foot ceilings and tall Andersen windows framing views of the land. The kitchen has SKS appliances, a 42-inch range and an oversized island, and the living room has a gas fireplace. A vaulted four-season porch with a second gas fireplace leads to a deck. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own sitting room, a freestanding soaking tub and a custom walk-in closet, and three more bedrooms each have a private bath. In all the home has five bedrooms, five full baths and a half bath, and a five-car attached garage. It is finished in James Hardie fiber-cement siding, lies within the Stillwater School District and is close to Indian Hills Golf Course and downtown Stillwater.

Ponds and acreage define this property in the Duck Pass area of Hugo, where the home looks out over two ponds on 4.34 acres with plenty of wildlife. A heated in-ground pool sits on the grounds, and a pool house with a kitchenette and a three-quarter bath lets guests swim and eat without coming through the main home. Hydrangeas frame the porch.
Built in 2000, it is the oldest of the five homes and, at 3,532 square feet, the smallest by living area, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms on two stories. Rich woodwork and tile give the interior an Old World character. Beneath the heated four-car attached garage is a large space with radiant-heated floors that could become a workshop, a gym or a hobby room. The property last sold for $68,900 in 1999, before the current home was built.
