Idea House and Farmstead
Lake City, Minnesota

Thanks to a partnership with the Green Institute in Minneapolis, we have placed the focus on creating a "GREEN" atmosphere that will be beneficial to the environment in our 2008 Idea House and Farmstead. Located outside Lake City, Minnesota, just southeast of the Twin City area, our home will resemble a classic American Farmhouse steeped in Midwestern style. The home is scheduled to open for public viewing in October 2008.
