Presenting an Unparalleled Development Opportunity on the Shores of Chippewa Lake, Minnesota Imagine owning an extraordinary 30-acre estate with 1,200 feet of pristine lakeshore, once showcased on the Discovery Channel in 2011 with the original owners and designers. Located on the secluded north end of Chippewa Lake just… Read More northwest of Alexandria, Minnesota, this property is set on one of the best fishing lakes in the region, with water quality that outshines most Minnesota lakes. This estate, affectionately known as Brentwood, offers the perfect canvas for your vision: a luxurious family compound, a premier development with fractional ownership, a boutique vineyard, or a sophisticated retreat. The possibilities are endless. A Storied Past with Infinite Potential This estate is divided into 9 PIDs, including Mary Hill, the stunning main lodge, allowing for seamless future development. Operated at one time as a resort and destination wedding venue, Brentwood embodies breathtaking architecture and features four unique custom-built homes, an oversized pole barn, and a heated workshop. The original owners’ vision of a family compound, coupled with its established history as a resort, makes it ideal for private enjoyment or as a high-end business venture. Luxury Living Meets Recreation and Relaxation Brentwood spans 30 acres of meticulously maintained grounds with 1200 feet of lakeshore and an additional 15 acres and 800 feet of lakeshore optionally available for expansion. Each area of the estate is thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertainment, including: Four Distinct Residences: The Main Lodge: A 10,000+ sq. ft. architectural masterpiece by Reed Becker of Widseth Smith Nolting, featuring dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a modern kitchen, a formal dining area, and a lavish master suite with a private deck and Jacuzzi tub. Lakefront Guest Residence: Boasts massive windows, a cozy fireplace, and sweeping lake views. Woodland Guest Residence: Nestled in lush greenery, with charming architectural elements, and access to a 1950s-inspired malt shop and efficiency apartment. Caretaker’s Home: Ideal for on-site management or additional guests, with views of rolling Minnesota countryside. Exclusive Amenities: Imagine private movie nights in a 15-seat theater, dining in a 50s-style malt shop, and enjoying the billiards room, children’s schoolhouse, frog pond, and wishing well. The indoor pool complex includes a hot tub, lounge space, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake. Outdoor Adventures at Your Doorstep: With a private sand beach, tennis court, shuffleboard, volleyball court, and walking and hiking paths, Brentwood is a year-round resort-style estate. The bordering state snowmobile trail and grounds offer endless activities like hunting, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and more. Room to Expand and Create For those with a vision to expand, the estate’s extensive acreage and the option of additional lakeshore provide ample space to develop luxury residences, vineyard facilities, or an even larger private compound. The 9 PIDs allow for fractional ownership or flexible development options, making Brentwood as versatile as it is beautiful. An Accessible Luxury Retreat Just two hours from both Minneapolis and Fargo, and a short drive from the Alexandria airport, Brentwood provides a serene escape without sacrificing accessibility. Whether for private family use or as a high-end development project, this estate offers the rare chance to craft an exclusive lakeside legacy. This is more than an estate—it’s an opportunity to bring your vision to life. Call today for a private tour and experience the unparalleled potential that awaits you at Brentwood. Read Less
