With 135 feet of pristine, southeast-facing sandy shoreline on Crystal Bay, this 0.39-acre parcel is a rare opportunity to create your dream retreat. The location offers both tranquility and convenience, with close proximity to the historic Lafayette Club, Lake Minnetonka Regional Park, and the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Wayzata. Architectural plans by David Charlez Designs showcase a proposed 6,874 sq ft custom luxury residence featuring a vaulted main-level owner’s suite, indoor-outdoor lanai spaces, and a design that celebrates sweeping lake views. Inside, every detail is thoughtfully crafted: a chef’s kitchen with vaulted ceilings and wood beams, spa-like owner’s bath, dual closets with a center island, and a mudroom with its own washer/dryer for lakeside convenience. A three-sided fireplace connects the kitchen, dining, and great room for effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the design continues with a lounge, bar, exercise room, golf simulator/theater, and guest retreat. Three ensuite bedrooms—two with skydeck access—offer privacy, comfort, and lake views from every window. Also included is the adjacent parcel at 1610 Shadywood Road. Combined, the two lots create an expansive 0.75-acre estate (feeling like 1.1 acres with the city easement), opening possibilities for a guest house, additional garage, or even sport courts—pending approvals. Lake Minnetonka spans over 14,000 acres with more than 100 miles of shoreline, making every season a chance to enjoy the water. From summer boating, paddleboarding, and sailing, to winter ice skating and fishing, life on Crystal Bay blends recreation with natural beauty. Make this lakeside legacy your own.
