This green custom home is a sophisticated blend of rustic and refinement. Everything about it was purposefully planned for a couple committed to living close to the earth and following a lifestyle of comfort in simplicity. Affectionately named “The Idea Farm,” for its innovation in green and sustainable building practices, this home was the second new home in Minnesota to receive a Gold Rating by MN GreenStar. With the design and construction of The Idea Farm, Minnesota’s second gold certified MN GreenStar Home, green technologies and sustainable practices are combined with beautiful and practical architecture.
