SVN | Northco is pleased to present, as exclusive advisor to ownership, the sale of Villa Maria ("Property"), a sprawling ±24 AC campus featuring four unique buildings, including the irreplaceable Villa Maria (Marian Hall). Set in the middle of 3,000 acres of private gardens and parkland (Frontenac State Park), and perched above Lake Pepin in Historic Old Frontenac, Minnesota, the Property is truly beyond compare.
Villa Maria has rich history, and nearly endless re-use opportunities. Currently, with its use as an event/wedding venue, the Property can accommodate up to 290 guests. With large windows, expansive grounds, high ceilings, elegant lighting, and a full commercial kitchen, this is the ideal atmosphere for events that will not soon be forgotten.
With its flexible commercial zoning (Commercial Recreational, one of only five such designations in all of Goodhue County), the Property is ripe for re-development, with uses including residential conversion (with the potential to build up to 30 stunning coops, condominiums or apartments), boutique hotel/resort, destination spa/wellness center, religious use, rehabilitation center, and much more. All of these opportunities can be executed at several multiples below replacement cost, and by multiple purchasers.
The Property is being offered for sale (with possible seller financing), lease, and/or joint venture for all or individual parts of the project
