Carlos Correa has sold his gated lakefront home near Lake Minnetonka for a little more than $8 million, according to a sale recorded in March. Correa and his wife, former Miss Texas Daniella Rodriguez, paid $7.5 million for the house three years ago.
The buyer, identified as Wayne DeVeydt and Michele Jackson, paid cash for the property, which sits in Orono on a private road that ends at a cul-de-sac. The home was built in 2020 and has more than 10,000 square feet, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three fireplaces, a security gate, a six-car garage and a permanent dock.
Correa’s sale lands at a moment when the shortstop’s Minnesota chapter is already over. He came to the Twins ahead of the 2022 season on a three-year, $105.3 million deal, then left in the middle of the 2025 season when he was traded back to the Houston Astros. The move returns him to the club with which he won the World Series in 2017 and closes out a stay that was once supposed to be longer and more stable.
The property itself was a luxury hold even by Lake Minnetonka standards. It sits on a little more than 2 wooded acres with 225 feet of shoreline along Tanager Lake, which connects to Brown’s Bay on Lake Minnetonka. The 2026 assessed value is $6.9 million, and Prudden Company began marketing the home earlier in the year without officially listing it on the Multiple Listing Service.
That setting was part of the appeal, but it also carried a reminder Correa did not need. During spring training for the current season, he said he almost drowned in Lake Minnetonka while swimming with one of his two sons. Correa, the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft out of Puerto Rico, has spent much of his career in the center of big contracts, including deals with the Giants and Mets that fell through because of concerns about his right ankle. Drew Hueler said the home’s construction stood out, describing the build quality as very high and the exterior finishes as pretty amazing.
For Correa, the sale looks like a clean exit from a house that was expensive to buy, expensive to hold and easier to leave than to explain. The next question is whether the move to Houston marks the start of a fresh finish to a career that has already reached baseball’s highest point.
