At the end of Shady Beach Trail, where the land narrows to a single dramatic point and the lake opens in every direction, one of Prior Lake's most extraordinary properties awaits its defining home. This is The Point: a premier peninsula lot offering approximately 287 feet of level, sandy shoreline and sweeping panoramic views that few waterfront sites in the Twin Cities can match. Offered for the first time in over thirty years, this is not just a building site — it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
The Point commands Lower Prior Lake's coveted "Gold Coast" — a stretch of Shady Beach Trail lined with some of the lake's most distinguished estates. What sets this lot apart is its position: the land extends outward into the lake like a natural promontory, placing the building site remarkably close to the water's edge with views that open across the main body of the lake to the south, east, and west.
Mature pines shelter the approach from the road, creating a sense of arrival and privacy before the lake reveals itself. Rip-rap stone protects the sandy shoreline, while the level grade at the water's edge makes this a true living waterfront — not a distant view, but an intimate relationship between home and lake.
Lower Prior Lake is one of the south metro's premier recreational lakes, and from The Point, you experience it at its most expansive. Morning light rises directly off the water. Sunsets stretch across the full western horizon.
The panoramic exposure means the lake is never out of sight — from the main living spaces, the primary suite, the outdoor terraces, and even the approach up the drive. This is a property where the water isn't part of the backdrop. It is the backdrop.
The Point calls for a home of iconic ambition — one that rises from the shoreline and defines the lake the way a lighthouse defines a coast. The proposed design envisions a glass-forward, vertically-oriented residence that maximizes the panoramic views while respecting the complex setbacks that shape the building envelope.
Floor-to-ceiling triple-pane glass, natural material palettes, and a sculptural roofline will create a home that feels both monumental and refined. This is a site for architecture that commands attention from the water and rewards intimacy from within.
The Point is available at $1,850,000 as a build-ready lot with design+build services from Sustainable 9 and architectural design by Unfold Architecture.
Renderings represent one vision for the site, but the property is equally suited to a buyer with their own architectural ambition. What cannot be replicated is the site itself — 287 feet of sandy shoreline on a true peninsula, offered for the first time in three decades.
