Pelican Lake, MN · Farmhouse character. Modern lake living. Room for the generations ahead.
The project
Rooted in family. Open to what comes next.
On a Pelican Lake property treasured across generations, this new home brings modern elements together with the enduring character of a farmhouse. Its white exterior, dark accents and generous timber-framed porch create a welcoming place for family and friends to return to.
Inside, light-filled gathering spaces open toward the lake. A double-height living room, a kitchen with warm wood accents and quieter rooms for rest and play give daily life room to unfold. The covered porch extends that shared life outdoors, keeping the landscape and the water close at hand.
