Bearpath of Eden Prairie

Located in Eden Prairie, Bearpath was constructed as Minnesota’s first gated neighborhood in 1997. Bearpath was built as the the first of its kind in the state and a jewel of the upper midwest.    Jack Nicklaus, one of the world’s premier golf course designers, has created a picturesque and challenging golf course of the highest quality.   It is his influence and his passion for excellence that has greatly influenced and inspired the development of the community. Each component of this remarkable Club has been meticulously designed and programmed to uphold the tradition of quality set by Jack Nicklaus and the clubs that carry the signature of golf’s greatest golfer.

But, you don’t need to be a golfer to live here!  Within the stone gatehouse entrance is a collection of all types of properties ranging from Twin homes, Town homes, Golf Villas and Custom Single Family homes.    Homes include architectural masterpieces by Charles Cudd, Keith Waters, Lecy Brothers, Tom Rauscher and more, and represent the best of the luxury Eden Prairie real estate market.  Homes are nestled among the Bearpath Golf Course or near the shores of Lake Riley.  Single Family Homes make up 70 percent of the total real estate on the market whereas condos and townhomes make up 30 percent.

Residents appreciate 24/7 security that this gated community provides.   To access homes in the Bearpath neighborhood, guests and visitors are required to check-in at the entry gatehouse.   Access is restricted to residents, Bearpath Golf and Country Club members and designated guests of residents and members.
