Why live on the edge when you could live within the curve.

The Point is something altogether rarer, a true peninsula extending into the lake with more than 287 feet of level, sandy shoreline and panoramic views across the main basin. Protected by water on nearly every side, it offers a sense of privacy and presence that few properties ever can.

Held for more than thirty years, The Point is a once-in-a-generation offering. Opportunities like this don’t return, they’re simply passed on.

Why escape from home when you can escape at home?

Tucked along Shady Beach Trail on Prior Lake, one of the area’s most coveted waterfront properties has just become available: The Ridge.

Perched atop a south-facing bluff, The Ridge commands sweeping 270-degree lake views with a soft sandy shoreline below. Here, sunsets don’t simply arrive, they unfold slowly across the water as the last light lingers on the lake.

Framed by mature trees and designed for a fully custom home, this homesite offers the rare opportunity to build with uncompromising standards of comfort, beauty, and performance. Imagine mornings with mist rising off the water, coffee on a screened porch, and a home thoughtfully tailored to the way you live.

Clean-lined white walls, warm wood treads, and a sleek black handrail converge to create a modern architectural moment that feels both refined and welcoming. Thoughtfully placed Hennepin Made glass lighting follows the descent, casting a hand-blown glow along the railing to guide the way with artisanal warmth.

As natural light filters through the open risers above, it creates a play of depth and rhythm that softens the transit. At the base, the journey culminates in a custom glass-enclosed wine rack — a striking focal point that blends high-end function with artful display, turning a simple transition into a curated experience.

A thoughtfully designed bedroom should feel like a true retreat – calm, intentional, and effortlessly connected to the outdoors. When natural light filters through thoughtfully placed windows, it washes over layered textures, warms wood tones, and brings every material to life, creating a gentle rhythm that carries you from sunrise to nightfall.

Layered organic finishes and breathable textiles add depth and softness, transforming the space into something deeply restorative. When you design with daylight in mind, your bedroom becomes more than a place to sleep; it becomes a place to pause, reset, and truly exhale.
