The original homestead and many of the century-old buildings used to ranch this land since the 1860s have been preserved, including the farmhouse, barn and a silo that have been transformed into community amenities.

Extensive care was taken to maintain the etched glass on farmhouse doors, intricate craftsmanship, and hand-crafted woodworking that went into their original construction.

The architecture of the original Victorian-style farmhouse is the inspiration for one of the design styles of our new modern residences. Timeless, classic and nostalgic, it’s another way of restoring the past for the future.

The three original windmills located on the highest elevations of the property have been preserved as iconic landmarks, symbolizing the spirit of Independence to honor the past and guide the path forward.

Homestead Restoration
To honor the legacy of the Bentley family, the homesteaders who originally owned and ranched this land, we are repurposing and renovating the original Victorian kit home, barn, metal shed and windmills, so these iconic buildings can join the next century of Independence ranch-land living.
