Anyone feeling Minnesota?
The most expensive single-family mansion — with what’s claimed to be the state’s tallest flagpole — in the Land of 1,000 Lakes has hit the market again, but with its price cut $500,000 to $14.75 million, Racket Minnesota reports.
Jim Schwarz of Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.
The 9,000-square-foot luxe home at 2400 Cedar Point Drive in Woodland sits on a 2.9-acre private peninsula with nearly 1,700 feet of frontage of Wayzata Bay, the outlet reported.
The home was custom-built and modeled after seaside East Coast estates, which, along with that landmark flagpole, has a replica Nova Scotia lighthouse.
“The flagpole was there when they bought it, and they felt like it was a really cool feature,” Schwarz told the outlet. “People that are boating know that spot because of the flag. They continued the tradition.”
The three-story residence, completed in 2006, features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an observation deck overlooking the water, a primary and a secondary catering kitchen, a family room, home theater with seating for nine, a golf simulator and a 2,500-square-foot recreation space that also serves as an eight-vehicle garage. The current, unidentified owners use 1,300-square-feet of that space as an art gallery, the outlet said.
Other key amenities include a coffee bar, wine gallery, nine refrigerators, a boat house, dock and fish-cleaning station.
It’s not the only trophy home in Minnesota to hit the market within the last year. A three-story, 9,400-square-foot home on an island on Bald Eagle Lake was listed last year for $6.6 million. That home didn’t have a lighthouse or obscenely tall flagpole, but it did come with its own hovercraft.
Not every home in the state is on a pristine, lakefront estate. A Minneapolis home sat on the market for quite some time, despite its fairly low $190,000 asking price, because it sits on a triangular lot flanked by Interstate 94 on one side and industrial buildings on the other.
