I was recently interviewed for a piece on the Southways Estate on Lake Minnetonka by a national real estate firm, as one of the most trusted resources for Lake Minnetonka Real Estate. Within the article, the quote I was credited with indicated the I stated that the house was one of the wealthiest in the area. While it’s an honor and a privilege to be quoted in a national publication, I believe that I was mis-quoted in this case.
Regardless, many people are torn up about the Pillsbury Mansion coming down, and I don’t blame them. I had the opportunity to take a boat ride during a showing on Monday, the 27th of August and see the structure prior to being town down. Upon arriving at the office on Tuesday morning, word was spreading quickly via social media that the cranes were demolishing the storied and elegant home at a record pace–and that the property had been transferred from the Jundts to a new LLC.
While there is little demand for outdated gigantic homes on Lake Minnetonka, there is today a huge appetite for premiere building sites and vacant lots. Stay tuned for more info on the Southways estate and all things Lake Minnetonka.
