About this home

Privately tucked away at the end of a serene drive just minutes from Wayzata, this extraordinary one-owner estate rests on two breathtaking acres of level lawns, gardens, and storybook grounds. Custom built by Erotas and meticulously maintained, the residence offers over 10,000 square feet of timeless craftsmanship, architectural intention, and exceptional livability including 5+ bedrooms and 7 baths. Soaring ceilings adorned with hand-hewn beams crafted from reclaimed Lake Superior timber create warmth, scale, and a sense of enduring artistry throughout the home. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, revealing peaceful views from nearly every room and seamlessly connecting elegant interiors to the stunning landscape beyond. The main-level owner's suite is a true private retreat, featuring heated floors, steam shower, fireplace, private deck, and an expansive walk-in dressing space. Designed for both refined daily living and unforgettable entertaining, the home showcases an incredible, highly functional floor plan with dual staircases, elevator access, two laundry rooms, and beautifully flowing gathering spaces anchored by a chef’s kitchen with exceptional pantry, spacious rear entry, and custom lockers. Recreation and wellness are elevated with an indoor sport court and viewing area, dedicated workout studio, sauna, game and media spaces, and a walkout lower level with fireplace and wet bar. Outdoors, a resort-style pool and charming pool house with ¾ bath create a secluded summer sanctuary, complemented by multiple patios, grilling terrace, and the remarkable privacy of the surrounding grounds. Upper-level bedrooms each offer distinctive architectural character—including a dramatic two-story suite with lofted study, a turreted bedroom retreat, and generous bonus spaces with potential for additional bedrooms or baths. Heated floors, exquisite millwork, and uncompromising quality speak throughout. A heated four-car garage completes this rare offering—an estate where privacy, craftsmanship, recreation, and natural beauty converge just moments from the heart of Wayzata.
