Carlos Correa Sells Lake Minnetonka House for More Than $8 Million
Carlos Correa sold his gated house near Lake Minnetonka in March for a little more than $8 million. The former Twins shortstop had bought the Orono property with his wife, former Miss Texas Daniella Rodriguez, three years earlier for $7.5 million.
Correa’s Orono sale
The sale closed on a home built in 2020 in Orono, on a lot with a little more than 2 wooded acres and 225 feet of shoreline along Tanager Lake. Tanager Lake has water access to Brown’s Bay on Lake Minnetonka, and the property sits on a private road that ends at a cul-de-sac with just a few houses.
The house has more than 10,000 square feet, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three fireplaces. Its 2026 assessed value is $6.9 million, below the sale price Correa received in March.
Wayne DeVeydt Purchase
Wayne DeVeydt and Michele Jackson now own the home, and they paid cash. DeVeydt is the CFO of UnitedHealth Group, and the deal moved the property to buyers who already had the means to close without financing.
Prudden Company began marketing the house earlier this year, but it did not officially list on the Multiple Listing Service. That left the sale to move without the usual public listing trail, even as the asking process unfolded around a home with lake views and a six-car garage.
Correa’s Twins Run
Correa arrived with the Twins ahead of the 2022 season as a free agent and signed a three-year deal worth $105.3 million. He later re-signed for six years and $200 million, then played 2½ more seasons before being traded back to the Houston Astros in July 2025.
The house sale came after Correa had already moved on from Minnesota, but the property still tied back to a brief and expensive chapter in his time with the club. He also said during spring training that he almost drowned in Lake Minnetonka last summer while swimming with one of his two sons, a scare that led him to redevote himself to his Christian religion.
Correa was the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft out of Puerto Rico and won the World Series with the Astros in 2017. The house sale closed the Minnesota property chapter with a gain on paper from the $7.5 million purchase price, and the numbers show a high-end home that changed hands before it ever reached a full public listing.
