About this home
Resting on the grounds of the original Van Dusen summer cottage on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, the Forever Estate blends French provincial charm with countryside cottage allure, creating a truly distinctive masterpiece designed to stand the test of time. Set within the private Baycliffe gated community, this remarkable 8,297-square-foot residence offers a harmonious balance of modern luxury and historic character. Encompassing 1.22 acres and boasting 210 feet of pristine sandy shoreline, the property presents unparalleled lakefront living with breathtaking views of the private cove adjacent to Smithtown Bay from nearly every vantage point. Every inch of this home has been meticulously crafted, featuring a seamless blend of natural materials like marble, black walnut flooring, and mother-of-pearl mosaics, while also incorporating the modern luxury of a fully integrated Savant smart home system. From the open and inviting great room with its 24-foot retractable glass wall to the gourmet kitchen adorned with honed marble and shimmering mother-of-pearl tile, no detail has been overlooked. Textiles and finishes have been thoughtfully curated to exude warmth and romance throughout. A stunning owner’s suite on the upper level showcases a private balcony with panoramic lake views, a dramatic tufted velvet wall, gas fireplace, and a luxurious ensuite with double steam showers, jetted tub, and a coffee bar. The suite leads to a walk-in closet featuring unparalleled organization systems. Other highlights include a glass-encased music and office space with coffered ceilings, a mirrored workout room, and an elevator providing access to all three levels. The exterior offers a seamless extension of the interior’s elegance, with a stately architectural design, a paver driveway with a fountain, and uplighting to enhance its grandeur. Resort-style amenities include a heated pool, hot tub, expansive patio, and a fully appointed pool house with fireplace and outdoor covered dining area—all perfectly positioned to capture the elevated lake views. With a 10+ car garage spanning three separate spaces, this estate provides unmatched functionality alongside its opulent design. Residents also enjoy exclusive community amenities such as tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, and shuffleboard. The Forever Estate is not just a home; it is a rare legacy property offering unparalleled luxury and a lifestyle of timeless elegance.
