Truly a RARE, once in a lifetime offering to build your iconic legacy estate! The last prime A++ West-NW facing estate property remaining. Prime Main Lower Lake. Prime Woodland. Hard sand bottom lakeshore. A-grade water quality. Five minutes by boat into Wayzata, on one of the most coveted runs of shoreline on all of Lake Minnetonka, nestled into the Greenwich, Connecticut-like community in Minnesota — the Maplewoods neighborhood of Woodland. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
This estate offers unparalleled privacy from both the street approach and its commanding, perched presence above the water and boasts 3.76 acres and 255 feet of lakeshore. The experience begins at the cusp of the driveway, where the path descends into a private sanctuary. The meandering topography and sheer scale of the land provide a rich canvas for this new concept home. From its commanding westerly sunset vistas and elevated perch, the estate offers long, deep-water views across the Main Lower Lake, Spirit Island and toward Ferndale — a vantage few properties on the lake can claim.
The grounds are as distinctive as the new residence will be. A private Har-Tru clay tennis court anchors the landscape, surrounded by native flowers and plantings, a fenced garden suited to herbs, vegetables, and fruit, and two five-foot beehives managed by the University of Minnesota — together yielding nearly 40 pounds of "Gale Road Gold" honey each year, a private farmer's market steps from the front door.
The time is now to create an entirely new legacy on this property — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Lake Minnetonka.
