About this home

Perched majestically upon the bluffs of the Mississippi River, Rackheath is a timeless sanctuary where 1860s heritage meets the effortless grace of a modern retreat. This storied estate spans over four acres of prime riverfront land, offering soul-stirring vistas of the valley that shift beautifully with the seasons. Though historic in soul, the home has been artfully reimagined and scaled to accommodate a sophisticated contemporary lifestyle, ensuring every room feels both grand and intimately comfortable. The main level serves as the heart of the home, featuring an expansive living and dining area designed for seamless entertaining. The chef’s kitchen, anchored by a central island, flows naturally into the rest of the living space, while a stunning glass-walled greenhouse with a private hot tub offers a year-round oasis of serenity. For those seeking single-level convenience, the first floor also hosts a plush bedroom suite complete with a full luxury bath. Ascending to the second level, you will find two additional private bedroom suites, each accompanied by its own dedicated bath. These rooms surround a central lounge and media room where windows on three sides frame panoramic, triple-aspect views of the river. It is a space designed for slow mornings and quiet evenings, bathed in the natural light that only a bluff-top position can provide. The enchantment of Rackheath extends far beyond its walls into the sprawling European-inspired grounds. From the large outdoor patio, the view unfolds across a landscape of manicured shrubs, winding stone pathways, and classical statuary reminiscent of an English country estate. The true crown jewel of the property is the whimsical secret garden—a hidden sanctuary tucked away within the greenery that houses an oversized outdoor chess set. A rare blend of historic charm and garden elegance, Rackheath is truly a must-see property for the discerning buyer.
