The Pier on Otter Tail Lake – A Landmark Property Reimagined - Welcome to one of Otter Tail Lake’s most iconic and extraordinary properties. Formerly known as The Pier, this landmark estate has been transformed into a remarkable private lake home offering an unmatched combination of space, privacy, recreation, and breathtaking natural beauty.
Situated on 1.37 acres with an impressive 280 feet of pristine shoreline, this property features one of the finest stretches of hard-bottom lakeshore and sugar sand beach on Otter Tail Lake. Nestled behind mature trees and a full-perimeter privacy fence, the setting provides a rare sense of seclusion while still showcasing spectacular panoramic lake views and unforgettable west-facing sunsets.
Inside, more than 6,800 finished square feet of living space create endless possibilities for entertaining, hosting guests, or simply enjoying lake life at its finest. The great room is the stunning centerpiece of the home, highlighted by soaring cedar ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a dramatic stone fireplace that frames the incredible lake views. The open-concept design flows seamlessly into the spacious kitchen, dining, and gathering areas, while an adjoining game room and bar provide additional space for relaxation and entertainment.
The home offers multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, including an expansive primary suite featuring its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets, laundry area, and a luxurious en-suite bath complete with a whirlpool tub and separate shower. Dedicated guest quarters and flexible bonus spaces provide ample room for family, friends, or extended stays.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with over 1,000 square feet of covered, multi-level deck space overlooking the lake. Whether enjoying morning coffee, hosting large gatherings, or watching the sun disappear over the horizon, this outdoor retreat delivers an unforgettable experience. Additional features include over 2,000 square feet of garage and bonus space, including a heated area ideal for recreation, fitness, hobbies, or storage, plus a versatile upper-level bonus room perfect for a theater, office, bunkroom, or retreat space.
Whether you're seeking a luxury lake residence, a multi-generational family compound, a private vacation retreat, an investment property, or a one-of-a-kind venue opportunity, The Pier offers a truly irreplaceable canvas on one of Minnesota’s most sought-after lakes.
Properties of this caliber rarely become available. Bring your imagination and experience the beauty, scale, and potential of The Pier on Otter Tail Lake for yourself.
