Directions & Remarks

Public Remarks: Set along the coveted west-facing shoreline of Maxwell Bay, this remarkable estate is a private lakeside retreat, offering exceptional privacy and sweeping sunset views. Spanning 2.19 acres with more than 300 feet of untouched 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. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout. The main floor primary suite is a private retreat, complete with its own lakeside deck, an expansive walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble ensuite bath with a steam shower and soaking tub. Perfect for year-round entertaining, the four-season porch offers heated floors, a fireplace, 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.
Directions: Old Crystal Bay Road to Little Orchard Way. Home is 2nd driveway on the left.
