According to local lore, Enchanted Island in Lake Minnetonka was sacred ground to Native people who practiced healing ceremonies there before white settlers arrived.
The island today feels "spiritual and magical," said Cynthia Winrich-Poupard, who owns a home on its secluded tip. "It exudes that sense of peace and healing."
Her Cape Cod-inspired home, designed by the late Keith Waters, was built in 2000 shortly before setback requirements on Lake Minnetonka were increased, said Paul Johnson, agent with Lakes Sotheby's Realty. The house sits just 41 feet from the water, creating a "unique interaction with the lake." With large windows, including a curved wall of windows that echo the curve of the shoreline just beyond, the house "brings the lake in."
