The Collection
On the market

Waterfront estates and near-water retreats across Minnesota's great lakes — represented, quietly and well, by people who live on them.
Every bay carries its own light, its own bottom, its own weather. A south-facing sand shelf is not the same asset as a north-facing rock shore, and the difference is rarely on the listing sheet.
For three decades we have represented the families who live on Minnesota's water — guiding the purchase and sale of its most considered homes with discretion, patience, and a genuine fluency in the lakes themselves.

$8,950,000
A 2019 architectural estate on a coveted west-facing point, capturing sunset light across 310 feet of hard-sand frontage on the lake's most sought-after bay.

From the storied bays of Minnetonka to the Northwoods chains of the Brainerd lakes — the geographies we know by name, season, and shoreline.
A lake home is not a season — it is the whole turning year. Glass-calm mornings in June, the long gold of August evenings, October fog rising off the bays, and the deep quiet of a frozen shore. We help you find the one that holds all of it.
We are a small, independent brokerage by intention. No franchise quotas, no call-center hand-offs — a single advisor who answers the phone, walks the shoreline, and stays with you from the first showing to the closing dock.
The result is counsel you can trust on the things that matter at the water's edge: shoreline quality, DNR setbacks, septic and well, ice-out exposure, and what a lake is genuinely worth.
For many of our clients the lake is a second address. We quietly handle what comes with it.
Introductions to jumbo and portfolio lenders who understand lakeshore and trust structures.
Discreet logistics for metro and out-of-state buyers making the lake a second address.
Trusted seasonal management of docks, lifts, and a watched home while you're away.
If it isn't yet for sale, we can often find it — discreetly, on your behalf.
“They understood the lake before they understood the listing. That made all the difference.”— A client, Wayzata Bay
We represent waterfront and near-water property across Minnesota lake country — Lake Minnetonka, Gull Lake, the Whitefish Chain, Leech Lake, Pelican Lake, and White Bear Lake — from our office in Buffalo, Minnesota.
Yes. A single advisor guides both the purchase and sale of Minnesota lake homes, from the first showing through closing, with counsel on shoreline quality, DNR setbacks, septic and well, and ice-out exposure.
Orientation and bottom type are often more important than square footage. A south- or west-facing hard-sand shelf delivers all-day light and easy wade-in swimming, while a north-facing rock shore behaves very differently. These distinctions rarely appear on a listing sheet, so local knowledge of each bay is essential.
Yes. Some of the finest lakeshore trades quietly and never reaches the MLS. We maintain a private collection, shared by introduction, for clients and owners who value discretion.
We focus on luxury waterfront. Represented estates generally range from roughly $1 million to $9 million and above, depending on the lake, the frontage, and the home.
Whether you are years from a move or ready this season, we would be glad to talk water, value, and what's quietly coming to market.
