Christian Ponder's million-dollar Minnetonka manse has a buyer, but the deal has just gone pending, so we don't yet know the name of the buyer, who stepped forward just two weeks after the house hit the market. Jeffrey Dewing of Coldwell Banker Burnet is the listing agent, here's a link to his website, which includes more details and photos of the house.

Sales of upper-bracket houses are rise in the Twin Cities metro, especially around Lake Minnetonka where listings are relatively tight and there are a limited number of homes with private lakeshore. Ponder paid $880,000 for the pad in July 2012, according to property records, but the sale price won't be public until the deal closes. Annual property taxes for the property are $18,515. Here are some highlights:

  • 5,540 square feet, including four bedroom suites
  • Built in 2001
  • The house is in a gated community in Tonka Bay with 24-hour security
  • Water access and a deeded boat slip
