Rare opportunity to own one of Lake Minnetonka’s private islands offering approximately 1,841’ of unparalleled lakeshore! Throughout the last 150 years, Gale Island has evolved into a one-of-a-kind compound where generations have gathered to celebrate summers, holidays, and lifelong traditions. The original Summer House was built in 1874 and is among four cabins throughout the 2 acre setting! Beautifully updated throughout the years, each structure tells its own story while maintaining it’s historical charm. The Summer House offers 3 BR/2.5 BA; the Main House 3 BR/2.5BA; the Guest House 2 BR/1BA; and the Tower offers a living area with ½ bath. Properties of this significance rarely become available-- Gale Island offers an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Lake Minnetonka’s historic landmarks! See supplement for additional information. Do NOT access the island without prior approval from the Listing Agent. Buyer verification of funds must accompany all showing requests.
