Location Highlights:
Forest Arms Country Club is an enclave of just 14 homes situated along the peaceful shores of Forest Lake Bay—one of Orono’s most picturesque and sought-after waterfront settings. Tucked off quiet residential streets and surrounded by mature trees, the community offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and direct lakeshore access. Residents enjoy deeded access to two private lake lots and a community dock on Lake Minnetonka, providing easy opportunities for boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. Despite its secluded feel, FACCA is conveniently located near Long Lake and Wayzata, offering close proximity to dining, retail, and essential services.
History:
Formed as an incorporated non-profit association, Forest Arms Country Club represents a unique chapter in Orono’s tradition of shared lakeshore communities. The neighborhood reflects the long-standing appeal of Minnetonka’s north-shore retreats, where early lakeside cottages evolved into well-kept year-round homes. FACCA’s 1/14 deeded ownership structure and preserved shoreline reflect an early commitment to protecting recreational lake access while maintaining a small-community feel. Today, it remains a rare example of cooperative lakeshore stewardship, blending legacy charm with modern governance and amenities.
School District:
Forest Arms Country Club is located within the highly regarded Mound Westonka School District. Known for its “small school feel, big school opportunities,” the district emphasizes individualized attention, strong academic performance, and award-winning arts and athletics. Nearby schools include Hilltop Primary School, Westonka Middle School, and Mound Westonka High School, providing residents with accessible, high-quality educational options.
Amenities:
Though FACCA is primarily a private residential community, homeowners enjoy exceptional access to both recreation and nearby conveniences.
