Rare 10-Acre Build Opportunity in Orono Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to create your dream home on 10 acres in the highly sought-after Orono School District, just steps from Lake Minnetonka and the Luce Line Trail system. This remarkable property already includes a guest house, stables with a full apartment, and a large pole building—making it one of the most versatile estates in the area. Dingman Custom Homes has designed a stunning walk-out rambler, ready to be built and perfectly sited among mature trees and rolling hills. The home features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with two bedrooms thoughtfully placed on the main level. Inside, modern farmhouse design meets timeless craftsmanship. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, while the 21-foot vaulted great room—framed with beams and expansive Marvin windows—floods the space with natural light and captures the serene setting. The gourmet kitchen, complete with a state-of-the-art butler’s pantry, is the heart of the home. Whether preparing family dinners or hosting large gatherings, it offers both style and function at the highest level. Don’t miss this rare chance to build your forever home on one of Orono’s largest and most private parcels. Design changes or floodplain options are available to suit your vision. Interior photos are from a 2024 Dingman model.
