Lake Minnetonka Architecture | Daniel Gustafson

INSPECTION Status ⋅ 7 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 7151641 MLS ⋅ 9,096 SqFt.

Once-in-a-generation opportunity on the shores of Lake Minnetonka. This magnificent English Tudor estate was custom owner-built and cherished by a single family, making its public debut for the very first time. A property admired from afar for years, and now, for the first time, yours to call home. This 9,100 sq ft stone masterpiece sits on 275 feet of exceptional Lake Minnetonka shoreline with a private beach, private dock, and natural stone seawall, a setting that rivals anything Minnesota has to offer. Inside, soaring 35-foot ceilings are anchored by an entire wall of granite accented with a fireplace and waterfall. Framed by exposed wood beam trusses and a great room that flows effortlessly between the custom wet bar, billiard lounge, and upper-level overlook. Every detail speaks to the extraordinary craftsmanship woven into every inch of this home, the kind of artistry that simply cannot be replicated. The two-story master suite is a private sanctuary unto itself, and a full guest apartment offers flexibility for multigenerational living or hosting at the highest level. Step out onto the third-floor decks from either the master or guest suite and greet the morning with coffee and unobstructed lake views that stretch for miles. Outside, the grounds are resort-caliber, a real putting green, lakeside stone fountain, and manicured lawns rolling gently to pristine shoreline. This home and it's setting is among the finest you will find anywhere on the lake. Set back 50 feet from the water, this estate holds a footprint that current shoreline regulations make utterly irreplaceable and could never be built again today. Seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a 5-car garage and a whole home generator complete the offering. This is not just a home. It is a legacy property, and there will never be another one like it. One owner. One vision. One chance.

Welcome to Lake Minnetonka's Gold Coast where location, land, and lake life take center stage. Tucked along one of the lake's quietest yet most coveted stretches in Mound, this exceptional .88-acre lot offers privacy, scale, and sweeping south-facing views over Cooks Bay. With roughly 100' of rip rap shoreline and over 325 feet of depth, the lot is the showpiece—sandy bottom, Grade A water quality and beautifully usable. A long, private driveway set back from the street creates an immediate sense of arrival, winding through wooded surroundings to grounds that unfold toward the water. At the shoreline, convenient storage for lake essentials sits below a lakeside deck, with a fire pit for evenings on the water. The site's remarkable topography delivers true walkout living on two levels: the main floor steps directly to the backyard, while the lower level opens to a full walkout, maximizing lake exposure throughout. The lot supports a 7 car garage and a swimming pool. Concept plans for this homesite are available through Alexander Design Group, offering buyers a head start with a design already tailored to the lot's walkout topography and south-facing lake views—or start from a blank page entirely.

Award-winning Lake Minnetonka custom designed home, offering breathtaking views of the lake - including two islands - through floor-to-ceiling windows on all three levels. Designed by JAQUE with an eye toward exquisite lighting, rich textures, and special touches throughout, every detail here has been executed to perfection. The home is beautifully sited to capture panoramic, one-of-a-kind lake and island views rarely found on Minnetonka. Three fireplaces make a statement in the great room, anchoring a home built as much for everyday living as for entertaining. Both a main-level suite and an upper-level primary suite offer flexible guest space and true aging-in-place living, connected by an elevator for easy access to all three levels. The lower level is a destination in its own right: a spa experience with a massage room, steam shower, sauna, and workout room, plus a theater room, billiards area, and bar built for extended family gatherings. The state-of-the-art sports simulator room invites golf, hockey, soccer, and bowling enthusiasts alike. Laundry is thoughtfully placed adjacent to the primary closets for everyday ease, with a second laundry on the lower level for kids, guests, and beach days. Outdoors, a chef's kitchen with the highest-end appliances and a bar anchors an elevated wraparound porch that opens to a turfed side yard, ideal for kids and entertaining. Year-round holiday lighting along every roofline, paired with extensive architectural landscape lighting, brings the property to life each evening, all year long. A private beachfront with two brand-new boat canopies and a new docking system sets the stage for fishing, boating, and swimming, while 125 feet of sandy, rip-rapped shoreline completes the lake experience. This home shines in every season. Mature trees make fall a showstopper, a landscaped pond designed for bees and butterflies blooms throughout the year, and the lake itself becomes a private ice rink for skating and hockey come winter. A fully app-controlled smart home puts music, lighting, fans, fireplaces, holiday lights, and irrigation all at your fingertips. This is a home with every feature you'd look for in elegant lakeside living: built for entertaining at its best, and for staying for good.
