It All Started With a Vision

From Thick Woods to Sunset Village

When people drive by today, they see progress. They see roads beginning to

take shape, trees carefully cleared, and the excitement of something new

coming to life.


What they don't see is what this property looked like when we first stood here.


It was heavily wooded, overgrown, and difficult to imagine as anything more

than untouched land. But standing beneath those towering trees overlooking

Little Rock Lake, we could already picture something special.


We envisioned peaceful evenings watching the sunset over the water. We

imagined neighbors gathering under the pavilion, couples enjoying morning

coffee on their porches, pickleball games, pontoon rides, community gardens,

and new friendships forming every season.


That vision became Sunset Village.


Creating a beautiful 55+ seasonal resort isn't just about developing land. It's

about creating a lifestyle where people can slow down, enjoy nature, and make

memories with friends and family.


Every tree removed and every path created has been done with purpose to

preserve the beauty of this property while building a community that future

residents will be proud to call their seasonal home.


Today, that vision is becoming reality, and we can't wait to share it with you.

There comes a point when you start looking at summer a little differently. Minnesota summers are beautiful - but they're also short. Do you really want to spend every Saturday mowing, trimming, cleaning, repairing and working through a never-ending list of projects? At Sunset Village in Rice, Minnesota , we're creating a different way to enjoy the season. Our 55+ seasonal community is being designed around a simple idea: Come here to enjoy your summer - not spend it working on your property. Imagine waking up, pouring a cup of coffee and stepping outside without a long list of chores waiting for you. Maybe you grab your pickleball paddle and see who's playing. Maybe you walk toward the water with a fishing pole. Maybe you take the kayak out while the water is calm. Or maybe you sit on your porch, read a book, visit with a neighbor and do absolutely nothing. For years, so many of us have worked hard, raised families, maintained houses and spent weekends completing projects. At some point, shouldn't summer get to be summer again? We want Sunset Village to be a place where your biggest decision might be whether you're going fishing, playing pickleball or joining your neighbors for a sunset cruise. Less maintenance. More memories. Welcome to Sunset Village.
