A dedicated boat slip, kayak storage, community swimming dock, and golf-cart access to the waterfront make lake days effortless. Just outside your door, the 16-mile paved Lake Koronis recreational trail invites biking, walking, and year-round exploration, while nearby state and county parks provide endless opportunities to enjoy Central Minnesota's rolling hills, forests, and natural beauty. This is luxury lake living reimagined-an extraordinary blend of architectural excellence, low-maintenance convenience, and one of Minnesota's most captivating waterfront settings.
