If you’re looking for a newly constructed home in Eden Prairie, then you’ve likely encountered stiff difficulty. As of 2024, the Twin Cities suburb was already 98% developed! What was once a “blank canvas of farmland,” as Eden Prairie’s former economic development manager Dave Lindahl once described it, has grown into one of Minnesota’s most competitive housing markets.
Eden Prairie’s last remaining virgin farmland eluded developers until 2025: Marshall Farms, which had remained essentially unchanged since its establishment in 1953. It’s easy to see why the farm’s previous owners held out for as long as they did. Situated less than half a mile north of Rice Lake, perched on a bluff overlooking the scenic Minnesota River Valley, and surrounded by 70 acres of protected woodland, Marshall Farms is a veritable emerald.
Who was fortunate enough to buy that land, you might ask? That’s the beauty of it. It’s still for sale – to you.
New Custom Homes at Marshall Farms: Now for Sale!
“Being a part of this historic housing development is a great honor,” says Ryan Platzke, Realtor and leader of Coldwell Banker’s top Minnesota team. “Representing the future residents of Marshall Farms is the highest distinction Platzke Real Estate Group could have hoped for. If we weren’t breaking ground this very month, I still might not have believed it’s actually happening!
“We were blessed to join the extraordinary team putting all this together. Wooddale Builders, which is the Twin Cities’ foremost authority on luxury housing, will oversee development, while Johnson-Reiland Builders, whom I have worked closely alongside for years, will tend to the construction.
“Johnson-Reiland is the perfect building partner for this project. Family owned since 1974, their team always places quality above all else – but also has the chops to build a complete new custom home in as few as seven months. And when I say ‘custom,’ I mean it. They’ll make your new home truly your own, in a surefooted Midwestern way that keeps you confident from start to completion.”
Now Building One-Level Townhomes and Luxury Villas
Marshall Farms is being divided into 50 individual lots: 22 one-level townhomes, and 28 villa homes.
Junebush Villa ($1-1.3M) showcases slab-on-grade, single-level living at its finest. Featuring open-concept design with flexible living spaces, private entrances, and premium finishes throughout, the townhomes of Marshall Farms are ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Single-family homes ($1.4-2.4M) at Marshall Farms will soon represent the pinnacle of Eden Prairie luxury living. With walkout basement, three-car garage, two-story floorplan, and countless other options available, each one of these new detached homes will be just as unique as its owner.
“As a matter of fact, we’re intentionally avoiding building two homes that share the same color scheme or style,” adds Ryan. “That will ensure this precious part of my hometown maintains its vibrant, one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
“There really is no other neighborhood like what Marshall Farms will soon become. Pristine, modern, airy homes with zero-entry layouts where anyone can comfortably age in place; hidden away in an alcove of parkland, but still less than 10 minutes from 494 and 212. If that sounds like a ground floor you’d like to get in on, then I welcome your phone call or email anytime!”
