Architectural Brilliance: Two-Story Minnesota Estate by Charles Cudd Asks $3.2M
Set within the gates of Bearpath Golf and Country Club—Minnesota’s most prestigious golf community—18313 Nicklaus Way presents a rare opportunity to own a statement home where luxury, lifestyle, and privacy converge. Listed for $3,200,000, this timeless estate spans 10,775 square feet on 1.13 acres, offering panoramic views of a quiet pond and the Jack Nicklaus–designed championship course.
Timeless Craftsmanship and Grand Design
Built in 1996 by renowned architect Charles Cudd, the home reflects the elegant craftsmanship of a bygone era while embracing the modern sophistication sought by today’s luxury buyers. A dramatic circular driveway leads to a stately façade of stone and brick, setting the tone for what lies within: soaring coffered ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and refined architectural detailing throughout.
“This is a home designed to impress, yet it never loses its warmth,” listing agent Tonia Kurth of Coldwell Banker Realty told Luxury Houses Magazine. “The current owner, a successful business executive, has poured heart and soul into creating a private retreat where every space feels intentional and indulgent.”

Resort-Style Living and Entertaining
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a grand center island, and beverage bar, all positioned to maximize breathtaking views of the fairway. Adjacent, a sun-drenched three-season porch and elegant sunroom offer seamless indoor-outdoor living, while the expansive deck leads to a custom in-ground pool, spa, fire pit, and landscaped waterfalls that set a tranquil tone for alfresco gatherings.
The upper level is anchored by a luxurious owner’s suite that serves as a personal sanctuary. The suite includes a boutique-style dressing room, private laundry, and spa-inspired bath with heated floors, walk-in shower, and soaking tub. A private staircase leads to a versatile bonus suite above the garage, perfect for extended guests, staff quarters, or a high-end home office.
The lower level continues the narrative of refined entertainment. A sunken media lounge, wet bar, exercise room, and dedicated wine and cigar lounge with coved ceiling, chandelier, and custom ventilation evoke the feeling of an exclusive private club.
“When we first walked through, we were struck by how every room is purposeful, yet full of character,” co-listing agent Laura Olivier shared with Luxury Houses. “This is not just a luxury estate; it’s a legacy home—ideal for buyers looking for something truly special in the Eden Prairie Real Estate market.”

Recent Upgrades and Car Collector Amenities
Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof completed in July 2025, ensuring not just curb appeal, but peace of mind for the next owners. The estate also offers two heated garages with space for eight vehicles, split between an upper four-car and lower tandem configuration—an exceptional feature for car collectors.
Beyond the gates, Bearpath Golf and Country Club offers residents an unparalleled lifestyle. The community includes tennis courts, a pool, fine dining, a fitness center, and private walking trails, all supported by 24/7 security. Since its founding in the 1990s, Bearpath has consistently been ranked among the Midwest’s top golf communities (Minneapolis Star Tribune).
Prime Location in the Heart of Eden Prairie
Adding to its appeal is the home’s proximity to the very best of Eden Prairie. Top-rated public and private schools, upscale dining, boutique shopping, and easy access to major highways all make this location as convenient as it is exclusive. For those seeking a home that balances serenity with access, 18313 Nicklaus Way is perfectly positioned.
“This residence has it all—location, scale, amenities, and a sense of story,” said agent Tonia Kurth in a follow-up with Luxury Houses Magazine. “It’s rare to find this level of privacy and architectural quality in the heart of Minnesota Real Estate.”
