Commanding 180 degrees of open water across Lake Marion and Robinson Bay, this Kyle Hunt-crafted Nantucket Shingle-Style estate sits on a private 6-acre hilltop in Woodland — delivering one of the most extraordinary lake panoramas in the Twin Cities. Views of this scale and orientation simply cannot be engineered or replicated.
The great room anchors the experience: a wall of windows framing sweeping lake views, tray ceiling, and custom tile fireplace. The main-floor office opens through French doors to the deck and water beyond, with distressed shiplap and a fireplace adding warmth. The sun-filled family room flows to the screened porch, wraparound deck, and stone paver patio — each space designed to keep the lake in frame. Outside, a kidney-shaped pool with wood decking and glass railings sits nestled among mature oaks and perennial gardens, with direct sight lines to the water preserved from every angle.
Set among Lake Minnetonka's most exclusive communities, the property offers complete privacy on 6 wooded acres with the rare combination of absolute seclusion and effortless access to downtown Wayzata, just minutes away.
The chef's kitchen delivers Wolf, Sub-Zero, custom cabinetry to the ceiling, and a large contrasting island connected to the dining room through a dramatic slate-blue butler's pantry. A custom fold-away walnut bar anchors the entertaining flow. The primary suite features a spa-caliber marble bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and separate shower. Three additional en suite bedrooms and a generous loft occupy the upper level. The walkout lower level adds a family room with fireplace and wet bar, billiards room, and a fifth en suite bedroom.
Comprehensively updated: new cedar shingle roof, both HVAC systems, water heaters, whole-house generator, fully remodeled lower level, new wood flooring, and a full electronics package including 16-zone Sonos, three home theater systems, and commercial-grade WiFi.
