Truly a RARE, once in a lifetime offering! The last prime A++ West-NW facing estate build site opportunity remaining. Prime Main Lower Lake. Prime Woodland. Hard sand bottom lakeshore. A-grade water quality. Five minutes by boat into Wayzata, on one of the most coveted runs of shoreline on all of Lake Minnetonka, nestled into the Greenwich, Connecticut-like community in Minnesota — the Maplewood neighborhood of Woodland. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
This estate offers unparalleled privacy from both the street approach and its commanding, perched presence above the water and boasts 1.88 acres and 127 feet of lakeshore. The experience begins at the cusp of the driveway, where the path descends into a private sanctuary. The meandering topography and sheer scale of the land provide a rich canvas for this new concept home. From its commanding westerly sunset vistas and elevated perch, the estate offers long, deep-water views across the Main Lower Lake, Spirit Island and toward Ferndale — a vantage few properties on the lake can claim.
For buyers with a vision beyond the current estate, a concept plan for a future hypothetical subdivision opportunity creates this distinct lakefront parcel.
