Spirit of Brandtjen Farm

Spirit of Brandtjen Farm is a unique residential neighborhood that fosters a true sense of community. “Spirit” blends its rich history as a dairy farm with beautiful new homes on tree-lined streets designed to preserve the beauty of nature.

The Brandtjen family dairy barn, restored with original California redwood, serves as the community center where neighbors frequently socialize with friends and family. “The Barn” community center offers a full kitchen, gathering spaces, fitness center, and outdoor swimming pool, and hosts many neighbor-organized events from book and bridge clubs to swimming classes and Yoga at the Barn. Spirit’s newest amenity, “The Granary,” is a second community center equipped with an exercise facility, gathering room, outdoor swimming pool and neighborhood playground.

Homesites are situated to enjoy the abundance of open green space, lakes, wetlands, and wooded areas, all linked by miles of trails. Tree-lined sidewalks encourage front-porch living, and residents enjoy numerous outdoor amenities, including picnic areas, fire pits, sand volleyball court, basketball court, horseshoe pit, and playgrounds.

The Spirit neighborhood is home to East Lake Elementary School and is close to grocery stores, shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment. Homeowners in Spirit of Brandtjen Farm are part of a community association.
