A Secluded Estate, Minutes From Lake Minnetonka
Offered at$3,290,000
A private estate where timeless craftsmanship, exceptional outdoor living, and thoughtfully designed spaces come together just minutes from Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka.
Introduction
Hidden among mature trees on more than three beautifully landscaped acres, this custom Lundgren-built estate offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and livability. Every space has been thoughtfully designed — from gracious entertaining areas and inviting screened porches to quiet retreats and extraordinary custom details — creating a home that feels as comfortable hosting unforgettable gatherings as it does enjoying everyday life.
Once through the gated, tree-lined drive, the sense of seclusion is immediate — yet Wayzata's shops and restaurants, Lake Minnetonka, and the region's best trails are only minutes away. It is a rare pairing: a home built to disappear into its own quiet acreage, without ever feeling far from anything.
