Overview

Description

Located at the end of quiet North Arm Bay this unique, rarely available acreage property is the ideal lakeside location to stretch out and relax with family and friends. Enter through the picturesque wooded winding driveway to the expansive 4.63 acres offering 90' of direct lakeshore.

Given the size of the property the recreational design options are endless with plenty of room for inground pools, sports courts, green space, and lakeside living as well as the potential for an optional outbuilding with city approval. Enjoy unsurpassed privacy in the coveted Orono school district and easy lakeside living on one of Lake Minnetonka's favorite bays. Immediately available for occupancy and open to all Builders.
