2575 Gale Road - Woodland - $4,995,000
Perched on a private 6-acre hilltop above Lake Marion and Robinson Bay, this Kyle Hunt-crafted Nantucket Shingle-Style estate offers architectural pedigree and one of the most breathtaking outdoor settings in the Twin Cities. Located in Woodland — among Lake Minnetonka's most exclusive communities — with absolute privacy and effortless access to downtown Wayzata.
The great room commands attention with a tray ceiling, custom tile fireplace, and a wall of windows framing sweeping lake views. A custom fold-away walnut bar anchors the entertaining flow. The main-floor office features distressed shiplap, a fireplace, and French doors opening to the deck and lake view.
The chef's kitchen offers Wolf, Sub-Zero, custom cabinetry to the ceiling, and a large contrasting island — connected to the dining room through a dramatic slate-blue butler's pantry. A sun-filled family room flows to the screened porch, wraparound deck, and stone paver patio, connecting seamlessly to the pool and open water.
The primary suite delivers a spa-caliber marble bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and separate shower. Three additional en suite bedrooms plus a generous loft occupy the upper level. The walkout lower level adds a family room with fireplace and wet bar, billiards room, and a fifth en suite bedroom.
Outside, a kidney-shaped pool with wood decking, nestled among mature oaks and perennial gardens — with glass railings preserving direct sight lines to Lake Marion that cannot be engineered or replicated.
Comprehensively updated: new cedar shingle roof, both HVAC systems, water heaters, whole-house generator, fully remodeled lower level, new wood flooring, and a full electronics package including 16-zone Sonos, three home theater systems, and commercial-grade WiFi.
