Spirit of Brandtjen Farm Community
Harnessing the spirit of its history, Spirit of Brandtjen Farm is a one-of-a-kind master-planned community in Lakeville, Minnesota, that perfectly embodies renewal. Built on a preserved dairy farm site, it seamlessly blends rich agrarian charm with beautiful, modern living. The heart of the community is “The Barn,” the original Brandtjen family dairy barn, which has been beautifully restored with its original California redwood to serve as the main clubhouse. This central hub offers a full kitchen, gathering spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an outdoor pool. Reinforcing the focus on active and connected living, a second community center, “The Granary,” provides residents with an additional exercise facility and another pool.
Developed over 17 years and now home to over 1,000 families, the neighborhood was thoughtfully designed to incorporate natural features, with abundant open green spaces, lakes, wetlands, and an extensive network of walking and biking trails that connect the community. Residents can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities with amenities such as picnic areas, fire pits, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, and playgrounds. The community is part of the award-winning Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District (ISD #196).
Lakeville itself is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and was ranked among the top 10 most livable small cities in the U.S. The city boasts a robust park system with over 1,800 acres of public parks and open space and 150 miles of trails, complementing the amenities found within Spirit of Brandtjen Farm. The combination of the community’s unique character and the city’s rapid growth and high quality of life makes Spirit of Brandtjen Farm a desirable place to live.
