Property Description
An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Lake Minnetonka’s most iconic properties. Held by the current owners for over 35 years, this remarkable estate is highlighted by its Japanese-inspired pagoda boathouse —featured on the cover of Lake Minnetonka Boathouses and in Legendary Homes of Lake Minnetonka. Set on 1.98 acres with an impressive 267 feet of west-facing gradual sloped shoreline, the property offers sweeping sunset views across “A” rated Smithtown Bay and the uninhabited Wawatosa Island. Whether you choose to reimagine the existing turn of the century Asian Victorian residence—perfectly matched with its one of a kind, water’s edge boathouse—or design a custom lakeside retreat from the ground up, this property offers a rare opportunity to shape a truly exceptional legacy estate in an unmatched setting.
