Set on a private, wooded 2-acre parcel along Wayzata’s historic Bushaway Road, this to-be-built modern residence offers the rarest kind of opportunity: an architectural legacy in the making. This property is part of the original Edward Decker estate, where in 1912 Decker commissioned Purcell & Elmslie—visionaries of the Prairie School movement and contemporaries of Frank Lloyd Wright—to design his home just steps away. That spirit of design intent, privacy, and site-driven architecture continues here.
This new home will be created through a collaboration with Charles R. Stinson—whose modernist work has defined high-design residential architecture across the Midwest—alongside Modern Oasis and Swanson Homes. The team has developed a vision rooted in clean lines, open volumes, and deep connection to land and light. With over 6,400 square feet of refined living space, this is a modern retreat that honors the architectural lineage of the land while embracing the flexibility of a fully customized build.
Located just a half-mile from Lake Street and the Panoway, the home offers rare walkability to downtown Wayzata while still providing complete privacy. Mature trees frame the property, and the long approach off Bushaway Road ensures peace and quiet. This is a place where you can host, retreat, or create rhythm in nature—all within minutes of the lake.
The design process is turnkey and collaborative. Modern Oasis and Charles Stinson have developed a flexible framework that allows for both creative input and architectural cohesion. Swanson Homes, known for precision craftsmanship and a white-glove building process, will lead the construction from permits through completion. This is a curated experience—not a blank slate. You bring your vision, and the team will guide it into form with architectural integrity and ease.
The proposed plan includes 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms across 6,400+ square feet. The main level features an open kitchen, dining area, and great room, along with a private primary suite overlooking the woods. Downstairs, the home is designed for wellness and entertainment—media lounge, golf simulator, bar, exercise room, sauna, and three additional bedrooms, all with seamless transitions to outdoor space.
This is not just a property—it’s a continuation of a story that began over a century ago. And now, you have the opportunity to build your own chapter. Renderings are conceptual. Final pricing and layout are subject to design and specifications. Initial consultations and site tours available by request.
