Wooded, secluded and rural in feel, yet minutes from Wayzata. Hollander offers the best of both.
Hollander is on the northeast side of Orono, off 6th Avenue just west of Ferndale Road. It has about 20 single-family homes in rambler and traditional styles, on wooded lots.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Colonial Square in Wayzata, Ridgedale Center and Plymouth’s city center are short drives. Wayzata Country Club, Wolsfeld Woods and Wood-Rill Scientific and Natural Areas and Noerenberg Memorial County Park are close. See Orono parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: This area is served by Wayzata Public Schools, including Wayzata West Middle School, Gleason Lake and Birchview elementary schools and Wayzata High School, with private options like St. Bartholomew School and The Blake School nearby. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Well and septic: Some Orono homes use private wells and septic systems. Plan a well test and septic inspection where they apply.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
A simple plan for your Hollander move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes around Lake Minnetonka for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise.
