Property Description
Wake up to sparkling big water views and spend your days embracing the best of Lake Minnetonka living on this rare 1/2-acre property with 80 feet of south-facing sandy-bottom shoreline on the Gold Coast of beautiful Cooks Bay. Set well back from the road on a secluded, private lot, the property offers a peaceful retreat where the focus is entirely on the lake and surrounding natural beauty. Whether it’s morning coffee on the covered back deck, afternoons on the water, or evenings around the fire after a sunset cruise, this home offers the kind of lake lifestyle buyers dream about. Just a short walk to Surfside Park and beach, and less than a mile from downtown Mound’s shops, dining, conveniences, and the Dakota Rail Regional Trail, the location blends tranquil waterfront living with everyday accessibility.. Inside, warm cedar plank walls, hardwood floors, ceramic tile, and 2 cozy fireplaces create an inviting cabin-inspired feel with year-round comfort thanks to central air. The dining room addition was thoughtfully designed to capture even more lake views, while large windows throughout the home bring the outdoors in. Rich in history, the house was originally built for Horace F Austin Minnesota’s 6th Governor in the 1890s, adding a unique story and charm rarely found today. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, flat roof improvements, and a new fireplace liner. Freshly painted Cedar siding adds timeless curb appeal, while the lake fed in-ground irrigation system and crawl space storage provide practical convenience. A truly special opportunity to enjoy lakeside living with space, character, history, and direct access to the water.
