Locust Hills Homes for Sale

Take a walk down a winding trail. Pass through leafy oaks, colorful birch and 100-year-old pine tress. Watch deer bound away into the brush; hear the chatter of cardinals, meadowlarks and goldfinches. Meander the boardwalk across wetlands, where butterflies dip and dive above cattails, eventually make your way to the docks on Gray's Bay, Lake Minnetonka. Follow the path back to the main drive, and find yourself transported to a charming European-style community of custom-built homes. Stonework, brick, window boxes and gardens evoke the country estates and villages of France and England.

An Extraordinary Place: Locust Hills

Tucked beyond a tree-lined drive not far from downtown Wayzata, on 70 acres of natural landscape on the shores of Gray's Bay, lies a place unlike any other. Locust Hills--an opportunity of a lifetime--offers privacy, community, proximity and peace amidst a spectacular sanctuary of beauty and charm.

Locust Hills provides a choice Lake Minnetonka setting, conveniently located near I-394 and I494 for easy access to downtown Minneapolis and the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. This unique community is perfect for new residents seeking all the pleasures that Lake Minnetonka offers, as well as current area residents who desire to move from their larger home without giving up lake access, or perhaps desiring an even better lake location within walking distance of picturesque downtown Wayzata, with its restaurants, shopping and charming ambience.

The Grounds and Trails

Boasting rolling woods, meadows, wetlands, and several small bodies of water, Locust Hills offers a fabulous setting for your home. 

One of the premiere developments that has occurred in Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka in the past half century is the elegant and tasteful development of Locust Hills. Offered by the developer as naturally luxurious upper-bracket custom single family homes, the site is a former private estate set on 70 acres of rolling wetlands and a significant association owned and maintained interest in the shores of Gray's Bay.

• Kyle Hunt & Partners
