In a state that’s famously known for having more than 10,000 lakes, there’s certainly no shortage of waterfront property for sale in Minnesota. But like just about anything in real estate, not all is equal when it comes to waterfront homes or condos. For example, some lakes are generally more appealing to live on than others, while some might offer housing that’s more affordable than many of the larger, more popular lake communities like Deephaven, Wayzata, or Shorewood just to name a few. 

Home buyers need to know that when navigating the waters of lakefront property in Minnesota, there’s almost always going to be give and take, unless of course you have the budget it requires to live directly on the shores of Lake Minnetonka right now. 

Widely considered to be one of Minnesota’s most desirable lakes, there’s not a whole lot to complain about when living on Lake Minnetonka. Located just 15 miles west of Minneapolis, this sprawling, 14,528-acre body of water is still only Minnesota’s ninth largest lake in terms of area, but when it comes to all the fabulous real estate opportunities, some might say it’s second-to-none.  

Just last week, a stunning, 10,838 square foot home in Wayzata hit the market for just under $6 million, while the inventory homes that just start at $1 million will undoubtedly leave you speechless. 

Listed below are some of Lake Minnetonka’s most expensive homes currently on the Minnesota real estate market, so to see just exactly what we mean when we say there’s really no other lake comparable to Lake Minnetonka, take a closer look at just some of these fabulous homes with your own eyes and chances are you’ll be inclined to agree.
