For 2026, Duke Homes' crews are widening their service area to address the demand for exceptional, high-quality, custom home builds. No doubt, word got out that Duke Homes and Duke Renovations just received Hoosier Excellence Awards from the Indiana Builders Association for two different projects: Best New Kitchen for Homes valued at more than $600,000 and Best Bath Remodel for projects costing more than $50,000.
Additionally, Duke Homes just won a Silver Award from the National Association of Home Builders in the Best Outdoor Room/Living Space, and at press time the staff was scheduled to find out at the NAHB National Conference if they won a Gold Award for a large estate home in Bargersville.
The Duke Homes team also just completed their first custom home project in Franklin’s Hillview private golf community, and have purchased a second site for a new home in that community. This private club features an 18-hole championship course, practice facilities, dining at Lou's Den, pools and event spaces, nestled near historic downtown.
ABERDEEN COMMUNITY UPDATE
The Duke Homes' model home in Aberdeen that was completed this fall was listed for sale. Dena Marks, Duke Companies marketing and events manager, says they hit a notable milestone in Aberdeen as they recently closed on their 100th lot.
Building in Aberdeen’s newest Section 8 is also underway. That section includes lakefront lots and close proximity to Lakeside Park, which features pickleball and tennis courts and a future playground.
This intentionally planned, distinctive wellness community is the vision brought to life of seventh-generation family farmer and developer Mike Duke, founder/president of Duke Homes, Inc., and his wife and co-visionary, Marcia Duke.

As Indy’s first 'Agrihood' and wellness lifestyle community, Aberdeen's gated neighborhood blends agriculture with a host of health-minded amenities, including 2.5-plus miles of trails, woods, green space, stocked lakes, community gardens and monthly programmed activities, plus a working farm that offers locally grown and sourced goods.
Located in Bargersville, Aberdeen Farms provides farm-to-table living with horses, cows, fresh-cut flowers, seasonal produce, an event barn and farm market offering locally grown produce, eggs from pasture-fed chickens, baked goods, milk and USDA-inspected meats.
The on-site event barn is a community hub, anchoring the farm and welcoming all who come to shop, sit a spell on the covered porch, or stop by to feed the chickens, cows and horses. Special events are scheduled at the barn, along with additional monthly activities/events open to the community at large.
