A custom home development in the Orono school district featuring new construction homes by NIH Homes. Four to six acre parcels set on a quiet, private site in Independence — delivering the rare combination of Orono Schools, generous acreage, and the craftsmanship NIH Homes is known for throughout the Lake Minnetonka corridor.

Brian Benson managed the development from entitlement through sellout, working through the watershed district approval process and delivering a fully sold community that has become a model for how boutique residential developments can succeed in the western suburbs.
