A community with a farm, a forest, and a river at the heart of it. Twelve cottages on thirty acres in the county, Wisconsin.
Not a subdivision. A community kept whole — built around a farm, a forest, and a river. Twelve cottages, twelve neighbors, one place.
Not subdivided. A working farm, an orchard, a forest edge, a river — kept together, shared by everyone who lives here.
Planted in rows the kids can run between. Cider press in the barn come October.
See the orchard planAt the center of the farm. Shared by everyone who lives here — Saturday breakfast, homeschool co-op, cider press.
Walk through the barnCurls along the back edge. Sit on the bank. The kids swim until first frost.

Three pieces, in plain English. No HOA, no jargon, no agri-hood ad copy.

"We weren't looking to leave the county. We were looking for a better way to live in it."
Four of the twelve cottages are spoken for. Here's a little about who's joining us.
"The kids ride bikes to the barn. We didn't think that was an option anymore."
"It feels like the place I grew up — only the neighbors are people I'd actually choose."
"Two-bedroom, single, retired teacher. I was sure I'd missed this kind of place."
"We came the first Saturday in October. Made the decision the next week."
If yours isn't here, write us at hello@example.com. the steward reads every one.
A subdivision is land subdivided. This is land kept whole. The farm stays a farm. The forest stays a forest. The cottages sit in twelve spots that already made sense — not on a grid.
the steward. He grew up two miles from here. He lives on the land and runs the farm.
Phase 1 frames go up in spring. Move-in for the first four is target Fall 2027.
Yes, and plenty of Phase 1 families plan to. There's a co-op forming, meeting in the barn one morning a week.
No. Two-bedroom cottages are designed for couples and singles too. The two oldest neighbors in Phase 1 are a retired teacher and her sister.
Bring your chickens. Cottage C has a small attached barn for them.
Saturdays this fall. the steward meets you at the gate, walks you through the farm and the cottages going up, sits on the porch with you after.
Two hours, no slideshow, no pitch. If it's not for you, that's fine — you got a Saturday outside.
