Property Description
Old Oaks — An iconic landmark estate on Lake Minnetonka, set on 2.9 private, park-like acres with 212 feet of gently sloping, south-facing sandy beach shoreline and commanding views across Browns Bay and Lower Lake. This timeless Georgian Revival estate, inspired by classic English Country architecture and designed by renowned architect William Channing Whitney, is a solid masonry residence with a newer slate roof, showcasing elegant proportions and refined architectural detailing throughout. The exceptional grounds include a carriage house, pool, tennis court, and 12 garage stalls. Ideally located close to downtown Wayzata, directly across from the Dakota Rail Trail, and within the Orono School District. Just 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis via a direct route with no stop signs or stoplights, offering a rare combination of privacy and accessibility. A rare opportunity to enjoy the estate as-is, thoughtfully renovate to suit your vision, or create a legacy estate on one of Lake Minnetonka’s most distinguished properties.
