The wetland delineation is completed as of July 2025 and provides the start for the Land to be split into two properties with additional survey work and city approvals. Presently on the land is a house and a barn with living quarters. If this was to be a 2 lot split the house would be on one side and the barn would be on the second side. Please reach out to the listing agent to discuss this dynamic situation and the early stages of development.

The entire piece can still be purchased as one parcel with the knowledge that you could split it later.

Nestled just minutes west of Wayzata, this sprawling 10-acre homestead offers a secluded escape with convenient access to I-394 and I-494, making it your private sanctuary just moments from the city. Embrace the unparalleled outdoor lifestyle this property offers with stunning, long views of the Lake Minnetonka wetlands leading to Tanager Bay, and direct access to the nearby Dakota Trails for hiking and biking adventures. Whether you're hosting lively gatherings or enjoying peaceful solitude, this property delivers. The natural beauty of the property comes alive with the spring chorus of frogs, followed by the arrival of ducks, geese, and fireflies dancing in the twilight. Imagine cozy evenings by a crackling bonfire, feeling like you're nestled in the Northwoods, a welcome contrast to city living. The private pond becomes a winter wonderland for pond hockey enthusiasts. Beyond the natural beauty, this property features a truly special historic barn with an open loft bursting with character and a quaint guest area offering comfort with two inset beds, a kitchenette, and bath. Preliminary work is currently underway with the city to explore the potential of splitting the property into two parcels, offering an exciting opportunity for future development or investment.
