Description

Privacy. Location. Flexibility. A Wooded 1.33-Acre Lot in Minnetonka | Partner with Swanson Homes or Open to Any Builder.

Tucked into a secluded Minnetonka neighborhood, this expansive 1.33-acre property is framed by mature woodland, a serene pond, and protected conservation land—offering the rare blend of privacy and convenience. The walkout-friendly topography and natural setting create an exceptional canvas for a future home that embraces both nature and modern living.

Entitled and Open to Your Vision: With no builder restrictions, you have the freedom to bring your own architect and construction team—or take advantage of the exceptional plan already in place from David Charlez Designs, paired seamlessly with Swanson Homes. The site is fully entitled, with more than $40,000 in professional design work, secured city approvals, and a CUP/variance for an accessory dwelling unit—offering the option for multi-generational living, a guest suite, or private studio. Even if you choose your own builder, you’ll start with a plan that maximizes the site’s topography, views, and privacy. With all design work complete, city approvals secured, and utilities in place, the site is truly shovel-ready—positioned for an immediate start on a fully realized custom home.

Design Potential: The buildable area sits forward on the lot, preserving wooded views and pond access at the rear. The setting invites a home design that maximizes glass, outdoor living spaces, and seamless indoor–outdoor connections—whether your style leans modern, transitional, or timeless.

The Setting: Minutes from Ridgedale Center, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and the future Southwest LRT station—yet worlds away in feel. Downtown Minneapolis is less than 10 minutes via I-394, putting world-class arts, culture, sports, and civic destinations within easy reach. Selective tree trimming could further open sightlines from the lower level, enhancing the sense of space and connection to the surroundings.

Education Options: Served by Hopkins Public Schools, recognized for its International Baccalaureate programming and strong college preparatory curriculum. Close to the metro’s top private campuses, including Breck, Blake, Benilde–St. Margaret’s, Providence Academy, and Minnetonka Christian Academy and many others.

Lake Minnetonka Lifestyle: Just to the west, Minnesota’s most iconic lake awaits. Wayzata’s Panoway, dockside dining, boutique shopping, the Dakota Rail Trail, and year-round waterfront events are all within minutes—while your wooded haven remains a peaceful retreat.
