The .55 acre lot is one of a kind on Lake Minnetonka as the home has protected water on both the front and back of the home. Think inter-coastal on one and ocean front on the other. The protected harbors mean never having to pull the three 28’ to 32’ docks in the fall or install in the spring. Along the 2 permanent docks in the lagoon is the trestle bridge that spans across the lagoon to the island, which is also part of the lot. Protecting the lagoon is steel seawall, common in Florida but not on Lake Minnetonka with the exception of a few channels and bridges around the lake. The seawall also allows the lush yard to grow up against the water’s edge while preventing erosion. Grandfathered in, the home sits a short 40 feet back from the water’s edge and gibves the impression of the home floating on water.
