Discover Brentwood Estates: A Lakeside Paradise in Alexandria, Minnesota

Welcome to Brentwood Estate, nestled just outside Alexandria, Minnesota on the shores of Big Chippewa Lake. This extraordinary property spans 30 acres and offers a resort-like experience perfect for destination weddings, winter lodges, and day outings with 1,200 feet of pristine lakeshore.

Gated community entrance with brick pillars, an iron gate, and a landscaped flower bed.

Originally developed by its owners starting in 1995, Brentwood Estates represents an investment of $25 million in construction over a seven-year period. Recently featured on the Discovery Channel, this Minnesota Lake Estate showcases stunning architecture and is now available for purchase.

Lakeside home with a stone chimney, sandy beach, dock, and lounge chairs along the water.

Lodge-style building with a timber-framed entrance and circular paved driveway.

The main property includes the lodge and is one of nine parcels. Previously operated as a resort and wedding venue, Brentwood Estate features three additional custom-built homes, an oversized pole barn, and a heated workshop. The potential for expansion is vast, with plans for amenities such as a 15-seat movie theater, a 50's-style malt shop, a billiards room, a children's schoolhouse, a frog pond and wishing well, an indoor swimming pool, sand volleyball, shuffleboard, playgrounds, tennis courts, a sandy beach, and extensive walking and hiking trails.

Garage converted into a retro diner with red booths and a teal classic car outside.

Lakeside community with a covered boat dock, cabin, and playground along a wooded shore.

An additional 15 acres with 800 feet of lakeshore is also available for sale, offering further potential for development and enhancement of this remarkable property.
