Ridgewood Cove: Exclusive Lake Minnetonka Access in Minnetrista

Located in the serene setting of Minnetrista, Ridgewood Cove offers homeowners a rare opportunity to enjoy Lake Minnetonka and Jennings Bay through a well-appointed association. Whether you're looking for a place to launch your boat, store your kayak, or simply gather with neighbors after a day on the water, this community delivers a lifestyle centered around lake living.

In 2024, the association upgraded its docking system to composite, low-maintenance decking, ensuring durability and ease of use for years to come. With an outlot designed for lakeside gatherings, a dedicated canoe and kayak storage rack, and seven spacious docks rotating among the nine homes, residents enjoy seamless lake access with convenience and exclusivity. The docks, at eight feet wide, can accommodate boats with an eight-foot beam, making them ideal for a variety of watercraft.

Beyond the lake, Ridgewood Cove’s prime location places homeowners within easy reach of Lake Minnetonka’s beaches, scenic parks, and walking trails. Westonka’s award-winning schools, shopping, and dining are just minutes away, with a quick commute to Highway 394 for easy access to the Twin Cities.

For those seeking a balance of privacy, deeded lake access, and community charm, Ridgewood Cove stands out as one of Minnetrista’s most desirable neighborhoods.

DEEDED LAKE ACCESS TO LAKE MINNETONKA Why just live near the lake... when you can belong to it? Welcome to 5490 Ridgewood Cove—a rare opportunity to live in a home that doesn’t just sit on the land, it’s rooted in community, character, and connection. Nestled on a wooded .78-acre lot in Minnetrista with deeded dock rights to Lake Minnetonka, this 5-level retreat is a place where life slows down just enough to breathe, laugh, gather, and grow. Designed for those who believe home should inspire connection, this thoughtfully crafted residence offers space to host, room to retreat, and features that speak to quality: from cement board siding and copper gutters, to a massive vaulted kitchen with two dishwashers, prep sink, and views out to the trees and sky. Entertain effortlessly inside and out—with multiple decks, open living spaces, and even a studio apartment with a private entrance, fireplace, and kitchenette. The private owner’s suite—with dual decks, spa-like bath, and full light on both ends—offers the perfect sanctuary above the rest of the home. Three additional bedrooms upstairs, multiple living spaces, and a tuckunder workshop garage make this home as functional as it is unique. And it’s not just the house—it’s the neighborhood. A quiet, dead-end street with a deep sense of belonging. Where maple and oak trees offer a canopy of color in fall and a lush green oasis in summer. Where the shared docks are brand-new, composite-built, and ready to last for years to come. Where the lake is more than a view—it’s a way of life. This is a place built for people who believe that where you live should reflect how you live. If you’re looking for more than just a house...if you’re looking for home...you may have just found it.
