Experience exceptional Lake Minnetonka living in Deephaven, a community celebrated for its natural beauty, small-town charm, and access to top-rated Minnetonka schools. Situated along the quiet, wooded shoreline of Carson’s Bay, this property offers peaceful views and the rare luxury of permanent boat slips, providing effortless access to boating, paddleboarding, fishing, sunset cruises, and year-round recreation. In summer, Carson’s Bay is a favorite for exploring the lake, while winter transforms it into one of Minnetonka’s most popular ice-fishing destinations. From winter activities like ice fishing, hockey, skating, and snowmobiling to summer days filled with swimming, tubing, wake-surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sunset cruises, and easy boat rides to Wayzata favorites such as Cov, 6Smith, and Macanda, this home places every season of Lake Minnetonka living—excitement and relaxation alike—right at your doorstep. The home also features numerous recent updates, including improvements to the HVAC system, roof, kitchen, paint, and flooring, offering modern comfort and peace of mind. Families value the proximity to Deephaven Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon School known for outstanding academics, while the historic Cottagewood General Store—an iconic neighborhood landmark for more than a century—adds warmth and character with its community events and timeless charm. Whether you cherish the home as it is, envision a thoughtful remodel, or dream of building something entirely new, this lakeshore property offers extraordinary opportunities—and rarely available lakeshore affordability.
