For discerning homeowners and active entrepreneurs around Lake Minnetonka, finding secure, high-end storage for prized assets—or obtaining flexible commercial workspace without the friction of rigid retail leases—has long presented a unique real estate challenge. Whether housing luxury RVs, high-performance boats, and classic car collections or scaling an appointment-based business, standard commercial options rarely match the quality and convenience sophisticated buyers require.
To solve this demand, veteran Twin Cities real estate advisor Cari Ann Carter is introducing Orono Garage Condos—a premier, gated development situated just one mile from Lake Minnetonka and minutes from downtown Wayzata.
The Ultimate Intersection of Luxury Storage and Operational Freedom
Located at 430 Old Crystal Bay Road North, Orono Garage Condos represent a modern alternative to traditional leasing. Rather than paying rent for temporary space, owners enjoy the long-term equity and tax advantages of maintenance-free real estate ownership. Delivered as adaptable blank canvases with soaring 26-foot ceilings, every unit is engineered to support a dual purpose:
Luxury RV & Passion Storage: High-clearance 14-foot overhead doors and deep bays easily accommodate Class A motorhomes, luxury RVs, wake boats, classic cars, and powersports in a secure, climate-controlled environment.
Small Business Growth Hub: Approved for active non-retail operations, including e-commerce fulfillment, product packaging, artisan workshops, light production, and 1-on-1 appointment services (such as detailing, tailoring, or private fitness coaching).
Bespoke Lifestyle Build-Outs: Units are fully customizable to include custom mezzanines, wet bars, private golf simulator lounges, soundproof media studios, or luxury tasting rooms.
Premium Infrastructure & Gated Security
Built to an elite residential-grade standard, every private unit comes equipped with in-floor radiant gas heat, professional epoxy flooring, a robust 150-amp electrical service, roughed-in plumbing for full bathrooms, floor drains, and pre-wired high-speed fiber internet.
To preserve a quiet, pristine aesthetic across the development, site operations follow simple, high-end guidelines:
Non-Retail / By-Appointment Only: No walk-in traffic or retail crowds; client interactions are strictly scheduled 1-on-1.
Contained On-Site Parking: All vehicles are parked neatly inside units or directly on dedicated private apron pads.
Gated Remote Access: A fully fenced facility monitored 24/7 with custom owner gate codes and remote buzz-in capabilities for seamless vendor, client, and delivery access.
Whether you need a dedicated launchpad for your weekend lake pursuits or a cost-effective operational footprint to scale your business, Cari Ann Carter Group provides expert representation to help you select, customize, and secure your space.
