Alyssa Auten

I have loved houses and design since the architecture unit in 3rd grade. After high school, I earned my BSAS in Architectural Studies and a minor in history from UW-Milwaukee, then traveled across the pond to earn an MSc in Historic Building Conservation from the University of Bath in England.

Born and raised in the St. Croix River Valley, I have spent the last fifteen years working for cultural heritage institutions like Franconia Sculpture Park, North Woods and Waters of the St. Croix Heritage Area, and the Folsom House Historic Site in Taylors Falls, as well as helping numerous clients with renovation and design projects.

During my time living in the river valley I have explored (almost) every back road, hiked dozens of trails, and learned about the history and towns. My love for this area is what prompted me to get my real estate license so I could help others experience how incredible it is to live, work and play here.

I will be your local go-to "expert" for all things St. Croix River Valley! I run a travel itinerary blog and company called The Landscapers' Daughter (follow my adventures on Instagram and Facebook), and co-founded a women's hiking group.

When I'm not planning my next itinerary or showing buyers a beautiful historic home, I can be found exploring, hiking, kayaking or cooking with my family.

If you're looking for your dream property in the St Croix River Valley, give me a call!
