Extraordinary peninsula property spanning Upper and Lower Mission Lake offering a rare combination of privacy, scale, investment potential, and future flexibility in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area. Set on approximately 21.67 acres with 1,682 feet of shoreline, this unique Northwoods compound includes a spacious main home, separate guest house, two oversized garages, and dock access on Lower Mission Lake. Designed for multi-generational living, vacation rental income, or future development opportunities, the property includes three surveyed and recorded split lots, including two waterfront lots, offering exceptional flexibility for future development, resale opportunities, or multi-generational ownership—creating added value and convenience for investors, developers, or buyers seeking a legacy property with long-term versatility. The main residence features 6 bedrooms, including two non-egress bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, multiple gathering spaces, vaulted ceilings, formal dining, and three fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting lake retreat atmosphere.
