Norton Homes will work closely with residents to pick the perfect existing building plan or start from scratch to build a one-of-a-kind home.
In 1868, Gustavus Johnson arrived in Minnesota, purchased a farmstead and the surrounding 160 acres sight unseen, and preserved and farmed the land for more than 150 years. With the same spirit of preservation, Hilltop Prairie has begun a new chapter, offering 13 families the opportunity to enjoy living on the land now and for generations to come.
