Discover what may be the best on-water luxury value in the Brainerd Lakes Area, located on the scenic Mississippi River waterway with direct access to Rice Lake. This rare estate offers nearly 10 heavily wooded acres, approximately 330 feet of river frontage, privacy, recreation, luxury, and incredible investment potential just minutes from Brainerd. The newly renovated 3,000+ sq. ft. home showcases breathtaking panoramic views, abundant wildlife, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and high-end finishes throughout. The custom gourmet kitchen features a truly one-of-a-kind Butler’s Pantry and flows into the open-concept living space, leading to an expansive wraparound deck overlooking the river and private pond. The luxurious primary suite offers beautiful pond and nature views, oversized walk-in closet, private laundry, and spa-inspired five-piece bath. The lower level includes a spacious family room, three additional bedrooms, full bath, and second laundry area, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. An oversized finished three-stall attached garage plus detached garage provide abundant room for vehicles, boats, ATVs, and recreational toys. Enjoy mature woods, excellent hunting, hiking, direct Mississippi River access, and a short boat ride to Rice Lake. Whether used as a year-round residence, luxury retreat, recreational getaway, or investment property, this is an exceptional opportunity. Luxury waterfront acreage, privacy, river access, and development potential at this level are rarely available—especially at this value.
