Moore's Landing a Historic Riverfront Estate

Step into history. Wake up to the Mississippi. Moore's Landing is no ordinary retreat. Built in 1940 by Fred Moore, one of Anoka's most influential citizens, this magnificent Cape Cod estate has stood watch over 120 ft of Mississippi River frontage for more than eight decades. From the moment you arrive, the rolling lawn sweeps you down toward the river, where the Mississippi moves quietly past. Inside, a breathtaking view through a 16 foot glass door, framing the river like a living painting.

Cozy Lake Minnetonka Cottage by Minneapolis

Our parents built this darling 4-season cottage by hand in 1950. Lovingly preserved and recently refreshed, we now want to share our little red cottage on Lake Minnetonka with guests who want to enjoy a calm, relaxing suburban lake getaway. The cottage offers a lot, and yet because we're in a quiet neighborhood and live on the commons, the little red cottage is not a spot for parties, reunions, bigger groups, or people needing boat access.

Victorian Grand Cottage by Lakes and Downtown!

Renowned architect Geoffrey Warner was featured in Garage Reinvented by converting a quaint Victorian home into this stylish, innovative design. This was realized by literally bridging the original Icehouse of Lake Calhoun to a newer addition by a mahogany bridge that pours natural light into the living room from upper level skylights. Indeed, its a unique place that is on the scheduling short list with HGTV's House Hunters!

A sandy beach area borders the calm lake, featuring two white Adirondack chairs positioned under a blue umbrella. Lush green grass and a variety of plants surround the space, with a rocky edge separating the beach from the water.
