Overview

Description

Gorgeous North-West facing estate setting on Lake Minnetonka.

The property offers approximately 864 feet of total water frontage (~249 ft of lakeshore on Maxwell Bay and ~615 ft of lakeshore on the channel including permanent inlet boat slip)! Views are comprised of long water views over Maxwell Bay and private wooded nature preserve of Noerenberg Memorial Gardens. Rumor has it, the largest Cottonwood tree in the state of MN is sitting center stage on this property (40 ft circumference at the base + 120 ft spread at the top of the canopy)!
