About This Home

Nestled along the serene, west-facing shores of Lake Minnetonka’s Maxwell Bay, this exceptional estate offers unmatched privacy and breathtaking views. Set on 2.19 acres with over 300 feet of secluded shoreline, the property overlooks the 70-acre Noerenberg Gardens-ensuring unspoiled, wooded vistas across the bay. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass frame tranquil water views from nearly every room. The open-concept main level is designed for effortless living and entertaining, featuring a spacious great room and a gourmet kitchen that flows into a sun-drenched family room. Recent improvements include beautifully refinished hardwood floors, new carpet and fresh paint throughout, updated bathrooms and 3 brand new furnaces. The main floor primary suite is a private retreat, complete with its own lakeside deck, an expansive walk-in closet, and a luxurious newly remodeled Carrara marble ensuite bath with a steam shower and soaking tub. Perfect for year-round entertaining, the four-season porch offers heated floors, a fireplace, wine fridge, and indoor grill. The walk-out lower level includes a full bar, two ensuite guest bedrooms, a game room, home theater, office, and an additional heated 2-car garage with expansive storage. Spacious guest or nanny quarters offers great separation from the rest of the home. Ideally located—just 4 minutes to award-winning Orono Schools and 6 minutes to downtown Wayzata—this extraordinary home is a rare opportunity for refined lakeside living.
