Asking price: $6.25 million
This shingle-style mansion with 350 feet of frontage on Lake Minnetonka was originally listed in 2009 for $11.5 million, but the price was reduced to $9.9 million and then again to $8.9 million. Now the home is owned by the bank and listed for $6.25 million.
Designed by an architect from Sag Harbor in 1999, the house is very much in keeping with the high-end homes in the Hamptons, said the listing broker Ellen DeHaven. "It looks like a home you could airlift onto Long Island, but [Lake Minnetonka is] our version of the waterfront."
The home includes 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a game room and a carriage house. Despite being bank-owned for 6 months, it has been exceptionally well maintained, DeHaven noted, with a refurbished roof and refinished floors.
