An extremely “rare opportunity” to buy a private island on Lake Minnetonka has just hit the market for $7,250,000.
Located in Shorewood, MN, the 2-acre legacy compound on Gale Island, surrounded by 1,841 feet of luxurious lakeshore, features several structures:
The waterfront barbecue gazebo, built in 1957, has a lower level for storage and a stone patio overlooking the lake.
A three-bedroom summer house with a stone fireplace, built in 1874, with a north addition completed in 1913 and later remodeled from 2006–07.
A three-bedroom main house, built in 1950, featuring a kitchen remodeled in 1990 and a family room and dining room added in 2001.
The guest cabin, built in 1954 and remodeled in 2009–10, offering two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a sitting room.
A three-story waterfront tower featuring hidden beds and a kitchenette.
A log cabin, built in 1953, located across the channel and accessed by a bridge, features a stone fireplace and is currently being used for storage.
“Lake Minnetonka is the lake in Minnesota,” says listing agent Jeffrey Dewing of Coldwell Banker Realty. “It’s a very storied and sought-after destination, and it’s very rare for an island to come to market. This one has been in the same family for 53 years, which makes it even rarer.”

It is also located just a short boat ride from Excelsior and Wayzata, which have lots of restaurants, shopping, and a vibrant scene.
“The property will likely be used as a secondary residence based on logistics, but it potentially could be a year-round property,” says Dewing. “There are three main cabins that were used by different family members, so it is beautifully suited for multigenerational living.”

Dewing says the buyer pool he is seeing has been unique.
“It could be acquired by another family and used like this was for a family retreat, or it could be used in a multitude of different ways,” he says. “There have been weddings on the island, and it has such a fun history.”
The island was originally purchased from the federal government in 1871 by Harlow A. Gale, a Minneapolis real estate developer, and remained in the Gale family for nearly a century. It was later owned by St. Olaf College and used as a retreat before returning to private ownership.
“There aren’t many island estates like this that become available,” notes Dewing. “It’s an incredibly unique opportunity.”

Duhamel, 53, listed his longtime residence for $2.99 million on June 25. Within days, the listing was updated to reflect that the property was “pending” sale. Now, Realtor.com® has learned that the deal has officially closed at a much higher price, with Thomas Atamian of Coldwell Banker Realty representing Duhamel, while Andrew Pearce with Sotheby’s International Realty worked with the buyer.
Having purchased the home for $2.7 million in 2017, the actor now walks away from the sale with an impressive profit.
The closing comes amid the actor’s ongoing press tour to promote the second season of his hit Netflix show, in which he stars as rugged ranch owner Staten Kirkland, a role that has become something of a case of art imitating life, Duhamel recently revealed.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, he explained that his performance in the show has been heavily inspired by his upbringing in North Dakota—and by the rustic lifestyle he enjoys while spending time at his off-grid cabin in Minnesota, which he has owned for many years.
While the actor has always split his time between California, North Dakota, and Minnesota, he has made clear his desire to spend more of that time away from the Golden State, instead shuttling back and forth between the Fargo, ND, he shares with his wife, Audra Mari, and their “doomsday prepper” cabin, which is located in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
His decision to sell his California home indicates that he has taken one step further towards that dream.
“Ransom Canyon” star Josh Duhamel has officially closed on the sale of his Los Angeles home, offloading the picturesque property for $3.4 million—more than $400,000 over his asking price.

It is unclear whether the actor has any plans to retain a home base in California now that his Encino home has sold, however he has previously expressed how much he enjoys balancing a life between his rugged cabin dwelling and the bright lights of Hollywood.
Though not quite as immersed in the natural world as Duhamel’s cabin, his Los Angeles dwelling does offer its own impressive array of amenities and features, the most spectacular of which are arguably the jaw-dropping “panoramic jetliner and mountain views that create a spectacular backdrop from nearly every angle,” according to the listing.
“It’s rare to find a property that flawlessly combines dramatic architecture, modern updates and total privacy,” Atamian said in a statement. “The defining feature of this home is its positioning. It captures breathtaking jetliner and mountain views from almost every angle. It’s an absolute standout offering in a premier location.”
The property, which sits on just over a third of an acre, also boasts several very impressive outdoor features, including a glittering pool, a spa, a fire pit, a built-in barbecue area, and a private sauna—as well as several entertaining spaces, with ample room for relaxing and dining under the sky.
Inside, an expansive open floor plan and enormous walls of windows help the 3,310-square-foot home to feel spacious and airy, with a huge great room serving as the heart of the house—opening up to an enormous kitchen, dining space, and living area.
That main living space opens up directly to the backyard courtesy of the glass walls that slide open to break the barrier between the indoor and outdoor areas.
Tucked away at one end of the property is a sizable primary suite, which features two walls of windows that can also be opened up directly to the backyard and pool area, while the en suite bathroom offers a serene sanctuary where residents can kick back and relax in total privacy.
A soaking tub sits under a large window that looks out onto the lush plants growing in the yard, while a separate marble shower adds more luxury to the space.
The primary suite is completed by two huge walk-in closets, one of which is complete with a built-in vanity, while both feature light-up shelving.
According to the listing description, the property underwent significant renovations in 2023, around six years after Duhamel purchased it, and just a few months before he offered the home up as a long-term rental.
“Additional updates throughout the home include refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, new carpeting, and a remodeled guest bathroom,” the description noted.

Originally built in 1962, the home is described as having been “thoughtfully designed with a visionary architectural aesthetic inspired by Philippe Starck.”
The listing came amid a time of significant change for Duhamel, who welcomed this third child—and second with Mari—in May. Shortly before his daughter was born, the “Transformers” star, who also shares a son with his ex-wife, Fergie, also opened up about how much he was enjoying spending time with his growing family at their off-grid retreat.
He first opened the doors to his cabin in an October 2023 video shoot with YouTube host Graham Besinger, during which he described the property as a true “paradise,” one that is equipped to help the actor and his family ride out whatever disaster may occur in the near future, natural or otherwise.
Duhamel shared that he bought the property around 18 years ago, thanks to his dad, who brought him out to see it for the first time.
“He knew I wanted a place that was away from everything, something remote,” he said.
Duhamel began his off-grid spread with the purchase of a 12-acre parcel, which he has since expanded to around 50 acres after buying up additional plots.
Taking Bensinger on a tour of his Minnesota property, the self-described “doomsday prepper” revealed he has installed multiple survival resources on his property, including three wells and “food plots,” including several filled with clover and chicory to help lure in game to hunt.
While he noted that he had never hunted growing up, he explained it felt like an essential skill to learn in order to ensure that he was fully prepared to provide for his family in dire circumstances.
“Part of being out here, I have a fear of having to move out here and live off the land,” he explained. “I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen. But I feel it’s a skill I need to learn.”
Duhamel added that he was inspired by the “Patriots” survival guide and confessed that he worried about the delicate nature of a society so tech dependent.
“We lose our cellphones, and we all lose our g**d*** minds,” he said, imagining what the future might look like if the stock market were to crash, triggering a shortage of fuel and food. “I just want a place where I could just get away to until things get back to normal.”
Duhamel has been busy promoting the second season of his Netflix show—recently revealing how his lifestyle at his rustic cabin property helped to prepare him for the role.

However, when Duhamel first purchased the property, he admitted that it was in a very rustic state, telling Country Living in April 2025 that the cabin didn’t have plumbing for many years.
“We were basically homesteading the first 12 years. For the longest time, we didn’t have plumbing. We were using outhouses and washing dishes in the lake,” he admitted.
Over the years, Duhamel has upgraded his cabin with a slew of amenities, including plumbing. However, it has maintained its rustic charm.
“I feel so connected to it. I didn’t just buy the place, I shaped this place,” he explained. “While we’ve made a lot of improvements, you still feel like you’re roughing it, and I love that.”
Despite those drawbacks, Duhamel has been open about his desire to spend more time at the property, revealing during a recent appearance on Dana Carvey and David Spade‘s “Fly on the Wall” podcast that he instantly feels all stress melting away when he’s there.
“What I think I love the most about it is I just get out there and my heart rate drops about 25%,” he said. “My priorities change too, I feel like I have a purpose.”
Duhamel explained that he also has a lot more to occupy his time when he’s at the Minnesota dwelling—admitting that when he’s in Los Angeles, he barely gets the opportunity to do basic yard work.
“I’m always working on something where I don’t even mow my own lawn [in L.A.],” he said. “It’s just absolute freedom out there.”
He revealed to the podcast hosts that he has relished in the opportunity to build a true sanctuary for his family, steadily transforming the rural, rustic property into something he can be proud of.
“It’s turned into like a whole passion of mine,” he said. “I started moving dirt and I started shaping it.”
He further revealed that he and his family have built a whole new dwelling on the land, which was originally home to two tiny cabins that weren’t big enough to accommodate his entire brood—including son Axl, 12, whom he shares with ex Fergie, and 2-year-old Shepherd and newborn daughter Rocca, whom he shares with Mari.
One of Virginia‘s last surviving octagon homes has returned to the market for $295,000—having spent years at the center of furious conspiracy theories about its “haunted” past.
Located in Wytheville, VA, the historic abode, which is known as the Octagon Mansion, was built in 1870 and has been the subject of multiple paranormal investigations in more recent years, many of which were documented on its official Facebook page.
From 2019, it was also home to the Octagon Mansion History Museum, a project started by curator John Cushman after he purchased the dwelling that same year, after it had sat vacant for close to a decade.
However, in March 2025, the museum—which operated regular “dinner with a ghost” events—was shuttered for good, and the dwelling is now seeking a new steward with enough gumption to take on a property with such an eerie, yet rich, history.
Octagon homes rose to popularity during the 1850s and 1860s, when designers began creating the eight-sided abodes out of the belief that they would offer additional space for less money, according to Atlas Obscura.
An 1848 book, “The Octagon House: A Home for All,” by Orson Fowler, was even dedicated to espousing the benefits of living in a dwelling that had twice as many sides as a traditional abode.
However, the fad was short-lived, and within a few short decades, the octagon house had fallen out of favor—and many of these properties built during the height of their popularity were later demolished.
Today, just a few remain across the country, many of which can be found on the East Coast. The Octagon Mansion serves as one of the more carefully preserved examples.
In addition to its impressive heritage, the six-bedroom property, which has crept its way to the top of the week’s most popular homes list, has undergone a “substantial remodel” in recent years that saw its 5,000-square-foot interior outfitted with a commercial kitchen, updated bathrooms, and upgraded electrical systems.
Still, many original details remain, including the original hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and intricate millwork.
The property is located in B-2 zoning, so it could be used to generate rental income as an event venue, a bed-and-breakfast, or a mixed-use space. Multiple entrances uniquely position the “one-of-a-kind” property for a variety of uses.
Other properties grabbing attention this week are an earth home nestled in its natural landscape in Wisconsin, a log cabin on leased land in a national forest in Oregon, and a stone cottage with a lighthouse on a private island in Maine.
