5 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 6823616 MLS
Custom built in 2022 by Gonyea Homes, this property occupies one of the most coveted positions on Halstead Bay on Lake Minnetonka, a private end-lot bordered by a natural wetland buffer and a seasonal stream. The home was deliberately oriented to frame the water views while naturally separating itself from its single neighbor. Getting to your HOA-maintained dock slip is half the fun via a quick walk or golf cart ride; golf cart is included in the sale. Inside, the home lives as beautifully as it looks. Five bedrooms, each with a private bath. A wet bar with wine fridge, dishwasher, and ice maker that makes entertaining feel effortless. An indoor sauna for the days you don't want to leave. The exercise room is thoughtfully equipped with an extra washer and dryer; so coming in from the pool, hot tub or sauna never means tracking through the rest of the home. The backyard is an oasis that most only imagine; an in-ground saltwater pool with a fireplace and waterfall feature, a saltwater hot tub, a standalone gas fire pit, and a built-in outdoor kitchen with ample counter space, all designed to make the outdoors feel like a natural extension of the home. The in-ground sprinkler system keeps everything looking exactly as it should. Patio furniture included. Woodland Cove is a lifestyle as much as a location. Two clubhouses, a community pool, and miles of walking trails winding through the neighborhood create a sense of place that extends well beyond your own lot.
