Property Description
Sold Before Print. Situated on the western edge of Whaletail Lake, this picturesque 118-acre setting offers 3,700 feet of east-facing shoreline with sweeping, nature-filled views. Set back along a long, tree-lined drive, the home welcomes you with inviting spaces designed for both relaxation and recreation, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and extensive built-ins. A standout feature is the private, sun-filled 54' x 30' indoor athletic court, currently positioned over a drained swimming pool—easily converted back with existing equipment in place. The property also includes a finished and heated three-car garage, along with an 80' x 42' Morton building for additional storage. Surrounded by gently rolling hills and mature trees, the land supports abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, pheasants, and waterfowl. Bow and shotgun hunting are permitted, offering a rare opportunity for private, in-town hunting. A portion of the acreage is currently leased for farming, and a City-approved plat allows for a future 11-lot development of two-acre homesites, each with lake access. Whaletail Lake represents an increasingly rare offering—an expansive, naturally beautiful setting with preserved surroundings and strong recreational appeal. Enjoy the privacy of a tucked-away retreat with convenient access to the Lake Minnetonka area, where lakeside dining, charming shops, and nearby Excelsior and Wayzata complement the lifestyle.
