Introducing 2770 Gale Road, an unparalleled estate nestled on eight acres of pristine land and featuring 655 feet of premium west-facing lakeshore on Lake Minnetonka. This private, double gated property is situated in the quaint community of Woodland, a neighboring community to Wayzata, and an area rich in history. This extraordinary residence is the result of an unprecedented collaboration among top-tier artisans, creating a true masterpiece. Built by John Kraemer & Sons, exterior architecture by TEA2 Architects, interior architecture by PKA Architecture, interior design by MartinPatrick3 and the incredible grounds were designed by Scott Ritter of TOPO. The property includes two guest houses, a main house equipped with every conceivable luxury, a pool house, a lake porch, and a boathouse on the water's edge.
Words alone cannot do justice to this residence. It stands as one of the most spectacular waterfront estates ever constructed in the Midwest—a Crown Jewel. Every aspect of the property is adorned with high-end, imported, hand-selected, and curated finishes. Unquestionably it is the #1 site on Lake Minnetonka, offering an unparalleled degree of privacy and commanding west-facing views. Lake Minnetonka has become known as the Hamptons of the Midwest, perhaps the best-kept secret in the country.
This meticulously crafted home was in the design phase for two years, followed by a five-year construction journey. The owner played an integral role in every aspect, from traveling to source materials and furniture to selecting artisans, overseeing every detail with care. Unfortunately, the owner passed away before obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. This presents a rare opportunity to acquire a legacy property, perfect for creating countless cherished memories with family and friends.
This estate boasts an abundance of features that simply cannot be fully captured in words nor photographs. A personal tour will reveal the true potential of transforming this property into your own private country club, nestled along the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
