Property Description

 

Guest House! Still time to make selections! New Build! Omni Custom Builders!Welcome to an extraordinary new-construction opportunity on the **West Arm of Lake Minnetonka**, where thoughtful architecture, exceptional entertaining spaces, and a truly irreplaceable shoreline feature come together to create a remarkable lake estate. One of the property's most distinctive features is the **approximately 635-square-foot grandfathered-in detached shoreline cottage**, positioned just **40 feet from the water's edge**. The cottage will be beautifully renovated and features a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and private deck—creating the ultimate guest house, lakeside retreat, or private escape just steps from Lake Minnetonka. Opportunities to have a separate structure this close to the shoreline are exceptionally rare. Set on a desirable **south-facing lot with 75 feet of Lake Minnetonka shoreline**, the property is ideally positioned for abundant natural light and beautiful water views. The home's walkout design takes full advantage of its setting, bringing the lake into view throughout the residence. The main level combines sophisticated everyday living with exceptional functionality. A beautifully appointed **Guest Suite** features a spacious walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. The gourmet kitchen is complemented by an expansive **back-kitchen scullery and pantry**, providing abundant preparation and storage space for effortless entertaining. A thoughtfully designed mudroom includes its own washer and dryer—ideal after a day on the lake—while expansive windows frame the water beyond. Upstairs, three generously proportioned bedrooms each offer a **private ensuite bath and spacious walk-in closet**, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests. The oversized laundry room is equipped with **two washers and two dryers**, making everyday living remarkably convenient. The walkout lower level is designed as an exceptional entertainment destination. An expansive family room connects to a **state-of-the-art golf simulator, dedicated theater room, and full-size bar**. A private Lake Bath features a **spa-inspired sauna and shower with a separate exterior entrance**, allowing convenient access directly from the lake. The fifth bedroom enjoys beautiful lake views and is positioned near the outdoor **covered lanai**, complete with an outdoor grill and fireplace—creating an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, and relaxing by the water throughout the seasons. A spacious **four-car garage** provides abundant room for vehicles, boating equipment, recreational gear, and all the essentials of the Lake Minnetonka lifestyle. Designed by **David Charlez Designs**, this exceptional residence brings together sophisticated architecture, luxurious amenities, thoughtful functionality, and one of the property's greatest treasures—an irreplaceable grandfathered shoreline cottage just 40 feet from Lake Minnetonka. This is more than a new home. It is an opportunity to create an extraordinary **Lake Minnetonka compound**, combining a spectacular new residence, private guest cottage, south-facing shoreline, and an exceptional lifestyle on the West Arm.
