Tucked into a quiet, wooded .68-acre lot in Forest Ridge Estates, this custom-built executive ranch was designed for the way people actually want to live — everything that matters on one floor, room to breathe, and a setting that feels miles from anywhere. From the moment you step inside, 16-foot vaulted ceilings open up the great room, where a gas fireplace anchors the space and oversized windows pull the outdoors in. Mature pines frame the backyard like a painting. The main floor flows the way a great ranch should. The great room, dining area, and kitchen connect in an open-concept layout that works just as well for a quiet morning coffee as it does for hosting family. Just off the main living area, the primary suite is its own retreat — a true main-floor owner’s bedroom with a private en-suite featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. A dedicated main-floor office sits nearby, ready to serve as a work-from-home space, library, or den. Main-floor laundry, a half bath, and easy single-level access round out the everyday essentials. Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level expands the home in a way that gives every guest, kid, or hobby its own space. Three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a generous family room warmed by a pellet stove open directly to the backyard — perfect for movie nights, game days, or letting the dog out without climbing a single stair. Step outside onto the brand-new high-end composite deck and you’ll see why the original owners chose this lot. Mature trees, no rear neighbors in sight, and the kind of stillness that’s hard to find this close to town. The 3-stall attached garage handles vehicles, a workshop, and all the gear that comes with Central Wisconsin living, and a separate storage shed keeps the rest tucked out of sight. Central air conditioning, gas forced-air heat, an asphalt shingle roof, and well and septic systems keep the home running smoothly year-round. Forest Ridge Estates is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Town of Grand Rapids — a premium Wisconsin Rapids address that puts shopping, dining, area lakes, local golf courses, and the Aspirus and Marshfield Clinic hospital systems all within a short drive.
