11800 Live Oak Dr

Hidden within a heavily wooded landscape of rolling hills and mature hardwoods, The Grove is a homesite that feels discovered rather than found. Set among a neighborhood of mid-century modern and contemporary homes in Minnetonka, this lot offers something increasingly rare in the western suburbs: enough land, enough trees, and enough topographic character to support a home that is truly one of a kind. This is a site for architecture that lives among the trees — not beside them. The Grove is available as a build-ready lot with design+build packages available from the award winning team of Sustainable 9 Design + Build and Unfold Architecture. The Grove occupies a wooded parcel with the kind of rolling terrain that makes every angle of approach feel different. Mature oaks and hardwoods create a dense, sheltering canopy that filters light and sound, producing a sense of seclusion that belies the property's convenient location. The surrounding neighborhood — a mix of mid-century and contemporary homes — establishes a design context that encourages boldness. This is not a subdivision that demands conformity. It is a setting that rewards architectural individuality. The proposed residence for The Grove is unlike anything else in the marketplace. Conceived as a sculptural composition, the home weaves through the trees, using the site's rolling topography to create a series of immersive spatial experiences. A dramatic bridge extends into the tree canopy, leading to an elevated deck suspended among the branches—an extraordinary setting for quiet mornings or evenings beneath the stars. Five bedrooms and a dedicated office are thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels that follow the natural landscape, balancing private retreats with open gathering spaces. Warm wood, blackened steel, and expansive glass immerse the home in its woodland setting, while bold cantilevers and angular forms create architecture that is both striking and deeply connected to the landscape. At The Grove, the design philosophy is simple: let the trees lead. Every decision — from the orientation of the glass to the path of the bridge to the placement of the pool — begins with the existing canopy and terrain. The result is a home that feels less like it was built on this site and more like it grew from it. For a buyer who values artistic expression and architectural craft in equal measure, The Grove offers a canvas unlike any other in Minnetonka.
