Lake Minnetonka Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Coldwell Banker Realty’s Luxury Homes by the Water Tour brings together a curated collection of waterfront residences for one afternoon of luxury home touring. The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and includes a wide range of waterfront properties across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

This guide focuses specifically on the Lake Minnetonka-area homes featured in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour.

Lake Minnetonka is not one simple waterfront market. A home on Bracketts Point, Cottagewood Road, Chimo, North Shore Drive, Meadville Street, Halsted Bay, Woodland Cove or Forest Arms Lane may all be described as “luxury homes by the water,” but each sits within a different lake context. City, bay, shoreline, dockage, views, privacy, walkability, architecture and long-term scarcity all shape value.

Use this page to explore the Lake Minnetonka homes in the tour and understand how each location fits within the broader luxury waterfront market.

Lake Minnetonka Homes Featured in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

The official Luxury Homes by the Water Tour includes Lake Minnetonka-area properties in Wayzata, Deephaven, Excelsior, Orono, Minnetrista and Greenwood, along with other waterfront homes outside the Lake Minnetonka market.

Why the Lake Minnetonka Homes Deserve Their Own Guide

The Luxury Homes by the Water Tour is broader than Lake Minnetonka. It includes waterfront homes in multiple Minnesota markets. But Lake Minnetonka is its own category.

On Lake Minnetonka, buyers are not simply comparing homes. They are comparing lake positions.

A buyer touring Bracketts Point in Wayzata is seeing a different market than a buyer touring Cottagewood or Chimo in Deephaven. A home near North Shore Drive in Orono offers a different setting than a home near Meadville Street in Greenwood or Excelsior. A property on Halstead Bay or in Woodland Cove may offer a western Lake Minnetonka lifestyle that differs from the older, more established eastern lake markets.

That is why the Lake Minnetonka portion of the tour deserves more context than a simple list of addresses.

Wayzata Homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Wayzata is one of the defining luxury markets on Lake Minnetonka. Homes in and around Wayzata are valued for their relationship to Wayzata Bay, downtown Wayzata, Lake Street, established estate corridors and long-term name recognition.

A Wayzata home in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour should be understood not only as a waterfront residence, but as part of one of the most recognizable lakefront communities in Minnesota.

Buyers considering Wayzata should pay attention to:

Proximity to downtown Wayzata
Bay or main-lake orientation
Privacy and road position
Walkability
Docking and water access
Long-term scarcity of premier Wayzata shoreline

Deephaven Homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Deephaven offers some of Lake Minnetonka’s most distinctive residential settings. Areas such as Cottagewood, Chimo, Carson Bay, St. Louis Bay and Northome have strong neighborhood identities and long-standing buyer appeal.

Cottagewood is especially recognizable for its village character, parks, tennis courts, trail access, historic store and protected water settings. Chimo offers a quieter, more tucked-away version of Deephaven lake living near Carson Bay and the Cottagewood area.

Buyers touring Deephaven homes should consider:

Bay location
Bridge clearance
Dock configuration
Shoreline usability
Neighborhood feel
Trail, park and village access
Minnetonka Schools context

Orono Homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Orono is one of the deepest luxury markets on Lake Minnetonka. It includes estate properties, wooded privacy, historic lake roads, larger parcels and some of the lake’s most significant residential settings.

Homes near North Shore Drive, Forest Arms Lane, Crystal Bay, Browns Bay, Stubbs Bay and Lafayette Bay often appeal to buyers who want space, discretion and long-term land value.

For Orono buyers, the tour is an opportunity to compare not only homes, but settings. Some properties may offer open-water views. Others may offer privacy, acreage, legacy architecture or a quieter shoreline position.

Excelsior and Greenwood Homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Excelsior and Greenwood offer a different version of Lake Minnetonka luxury. The appeal is often tied to village life, historic character, St. Albans Bay, walkability, marina access and proximity to one of the lake’s most charming downtowns.

Homes near Meadville Street, Virginia Drive and the surrounding Excelsior / Greenwood area should be evaluated for view orientation, shoreline position, access to Excelsior, privacy and the long-term scarcity of homes near this part of the lake.

For buyers who want Lake Minnetonka living with village energy nearby, this area remains one of the lake’s most compelling markets.

Minnetrista and Western Lake Minnetonka Homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Minnetrista and western Lake Minnetonka offer a more spacious, residential and often newer-construction version of lake living. Areas near Halstead Bay, Jennings Bay, Cook’s Bay and Woodland Cove may appeal to buyers who want room, newer homes, quieter water and a less dense lake environment.

Compared with the eastern lake communities, the western lake market may offer more space and newer development patterns, while still providing access to Lake Minnetonka boating and waterfront living.

Buyers should consider:

Distance to Wayzata, Excelsior and downtown Minneapolis
Newer construction versus legacy lake property
Bay depth and boating patterns
Long-term neighborhood maturity
Lot size and privacy
Sunset views and western lake orientation

How to Tour Luxury Homes by the Water on Lake Minnetonka

The official tour allows attendees to visit multiple luxury waterfront homes in one afternoon, compare properties, experience architecture and setting firsthand, and meet listing agents and specialists.

For Lake Minnetonka buyers, the best approach is to tour with a framework.

Before visiting each home, ask:

Which city is this in?
Which bay or body of water shapes the value?
Is the shoreline level, elevated, sandy, riprapped or natural?
How usable is the dockage?
Is the view long, protected, west-facing, panoramic or seasonal?
Is the value primarily in the house, the land, the shoreline or the location?
How does this property compare with other Lake Minnetonka homes in the same price range?

The most impressive home on the tour is not always the best long-term fit. On Lake Minnetonka, the right purchase depends on how the property’s location, shoreline and neighborhood align with the buyer’s intended life on the lake.

Private Guidance During the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

Daniel Gustafson of Coldwell Banker Realty provides Lake Minnetonka-specific guidance for buyers evaluating homes in the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour.

That guidance may include:

Bay-by-bay comparison
City and neighborhood context
Shoreline and dockability discussion
School district orientation
Long-term market behavior
Privacy, walkability and lifestyle fit
Off-market and post-tour strategy

For buyers serious about Lake Minnetonka, the tour is a starting point. The deeper work is understanding which homes have the best combination of setting, scarcity and long-term value.

FAQ: Lake Minnetonka Luxury Homes by the Water Tour

What is the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour?

The Luxury Homes by the Water Tour is a Coldwell Banker Realty event featuring luxury waterfront homes for sale. The official event page describes it as a curated luxury tour experience with waterfront residences open for one afternoon.

When is the Luxury Homes by the Water Tour?

Does the tour include Lake Minnetonka homes?

Yes. The event includes several Lake Minnetonka-area homes in communities such as Wayzata, Deephaven, Excelsior, Orono, Minnetrista and Greenwood.

Why focus only on the Lake Minnetonka homes?

Lake Minnetonka is one of Minnesota’s most complex luxury waterfront markets. Buyers need local context about cities, bays, shoreline, dockage, views and long-term value that a statewide waterfront tour page cannot fully explain.

Can I visit the Lake Minnetonka homes in any order?

Attendees can generally follow their own route unless a property requires a timed appointment. Buyers should verify showing instructions before touring.

Will listing agents be present?

Most homes are hosted by listing agents who can answer questions, provide disclosures and offer market insight.

Should I schedule a private showing after the tour?

For serious Lake Minnetonka buyers, yes. A private showing allows more time to evaluate shoreline, dockage, elevation, privacy, architecture, floor plan and long-term market fit.

Tour the homes. Understand the lake.

The Luxury Homes by the Water Tour offers a rare chance to see several waterfront properties in one afternoon. For Lake Minnetonka buyers, the opportunity is even more valuable when each home is understood in context — by city, bay, shoreline, neighborhood and long-term market position.

1575 Long Lake Blvd was the first cabin built in the neighborhood you see today. The “Albee Addition” was an Apple Orchard long before 1930's lake cabins were built. The original owner, Edna Albee, included many traditional Norwegian details into the fireplace mantle, main level bathroom mirror / tile work and dining room chandelier. The home has been meticulously maintained and improved and offers potential for your own improvements and additions. From your first step inside, you see the bright spaces and feel the care of the prior stewards have given this wonderful property. The additions are tasteful and right sized. The quality and finishes are consistent, complimenting the original character while improving the home. Notably, a new foundation and walkout lower level provide level floors and no old house creaks. This property is as much about the setting and outdoor space as the indoor spaces. It feels up north but then you remember, you are 7 minutes from Wayzata and 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. With 235 feet of south facing shoreline on .6 acres, the expansive and unobstructed lake view captures spectacular sunrises and sunsets from inside the house - or from any of the outdoor leisure areas. The back deck and dining deck are two very different feelings, one offering full sun, the other gives shade. The sandy beach is surrounded by rip rap and is a great spot to relax with your feet in the water or go for a swim. The lower patio offers a similar view to the upper deck, but the saltwater hot tub promotes relaxation. The secluded fire pit sits near the forest, surrounded by a flat stone patio with large stone benches and a peaceful view of the lake. And finally, relaxing on the dock is quintessential lake living. The lake side does offer a fairly flat area for yard games. Keep an eye out for Bald Eagles, turtles, hummingbirds, swans and loons. Mulberries, rhubarb and onion grass grows on the hill, next to the garage.
