New Minnetrista Lakeshore Homes

by Loretta

The City of Minnetrista is located on the western bays of Lake Minnetonka and the agricultural rich plains and idyllic woodlands of southwestern Hennepin County. The name Minnetrista is derived from the Native American word “minne” meaning waters, and “trista” meaning crooked. The 32 square miles is home to 5,902 residents who enjoy the rural residential and lakeside settings.

One new Minnetrista real estate opportunity includes Minnetonka Lake Shore in its development plan. The land is located off Highway 7 with 68 residential lots, including 51.39 acres at 4825 & 4680 Casamita Road. When I visited the site this summer, the road building, curbs and gutters were just installed that day. My buyers were interested in all possibilities, so we investigated all our options.

The top of the site overlooking Lake Zumbra and back views of Lake Minnetonka are planned for high density, upscale homes. Just below the bluff, there were 2 lots available in a more level, wetlands, with a lengthy driveway access and west viewing lake shore. Ms Buyer mentioned that Mr Buyer would have fun with his snow plowing hobby honed in Alaska! The upside is the sunsets are sure to be breathtaking.

The Point area faces west, north and east with sloping dramatic views of the lake. Lot prices are commensurate with size, view expanse and priced accordingly. Speaking of views, just across the point is Wawatosa Island, sometimes referred to as Boy Scout Island. The name is derived from for a Dakota Indian that saved a fur trader’s daughter from drowning. Translated, Wawatosa means ‘little firefly’.

The terrain of the development includes hills, bluff, lower wetlands, and pond area – something for almost everyone. A beach house, located just before the entrance monument, is planned along with limited dock space for some owners without lake shore access. If you are looking for options, this new Minnetrista lakeshore opportunity may be just what you’ve been dreaming about! Call me for a site visit today at 952-220-6488.
