Out here along the country roads south of Caledonia, this condo development sits on acreage—the kind of setting where a 3-acre lot isn't a luxury but almost the norm. Homes perch on culdesac ends and sprawl across parcels with room to breathe, each built within the last decade by custom builders like Dusendang Platinum and Scott Shurlow, which means arched hallways, soft-close cabinetry, Pella windows, and kitchens that take themselves seriously: quartz counters, six-burner Thermador ranges, wine fridges, the works. The fiber optic broadband that just went live (up to 250 mbps) is a nice middle finger to the rural stereotype—you get country living and fast internet, which shouldn't feel like a punchline in 2024 but apparently does. Within 18 minutes you're at Gerald R. Ford Airport; within 30 you're downtown. A mile over brings you to Green Lake; a couple of miles more lands you at Duncan Lake Public Access if you want to fish or paddle. The grocery store is four miles down the road, which means you're trading convenience for the actual thing this place sells: custom homes on genuine land, each one sitting like it was meant to be exactly where it is.
