1480 Bracketts Point Road is arguably the most significant lakeshore offering currently available on Lake Minnetonka. Situated on approximately 2.64 acres with roughly 450 ft of shoreline - the largest frontage among our three Bracketts Point listings - this property occupies a position on the peninsula that delivers something no other site can: both east-facing sunrise views AND west-facing sunset views across the open waters of Lower Lake Minnetonka. The existing structure, a 8,636 finished sq. ft., 7-bedroom residence built in 1915, would benefit from serious improvements and could be a candidate for a teardown. Located in the award-winning Orono School District (#278), the property is just minutes from downtown Wayzata. This property has enjoyed a rich history with its unparalleled location, scale, and dual-view orientation.
Rare, and Historic Bracketts Point opportunity. This prime, landmark, lakeshore estate is offered for the first time in many years. Captivating and dramatic views of nearly the entire main Lower lake! Enjoy both sunrises and sunsets with over 440+ feet of lakeshore on this private and exclusive 2.25 acre site. This classic, generational, and charming East coast colonial could be remodeled, or this would be a rare and fantastic building site. There is use of the Tennis court out lot included with the sale. Survey is available, and this offering represents one of the last opportunities of this kind on the entire lake. The property is shown by appointment only to qualified buyers.
