Priest Bay Residence

Designed for extended family and long days by the lake, Minnetonka Overlook balances generous gathering spaces with private retreats and comfortable accommodations for guests. A spacious deck, patio, private dock, and sandy beach extend everyday living outdoors. As construction progresses, the home is taking shape around its lakeside setting and the life lived there.

Behind The Design

Designed to nestle into the terrain, the home tucks into the hillside, offering a low-profile approach before extending outward on three sides to create a dramatic walkout condition below. 

The result is a home that feels both grounded and expansive—rooted into the site while opening generously to its lakefront setting.

Crafted for the whole family

Tailored for a young family that thrives outdoors, the project incorporates layered landscaping and outdoor programming that extends the home’s footprint into the site itself. 

A pickleball court, flexible yard space, and a variety of patios, decks, and gathering areas are woven into the design to support year-round activity and lakeside living.
