Yes, Belle Farm offers two lot types: Predesigned Home Lots and Custom Home Lots.
For Predesigned Home Lots (Chicago Row Homes, Cottages, Nest Homes and Shotgun Homes), the home design for each lot has already been established. These designs are highly curated and include construction cost estimates from our primary builder, Brio Design Homes. If you would like to use your own builder, please contact us.
For Custom Home Lots (lots 36 – 43) you can use our Design Guidelines to design your home from the ground up. You can work with our primary builder, Brio Design Homes, or if you would like to use your own architect/builder, please contact us.

Lot Transfer Fee: There is an initial lot ownership transfer fee of $1,500 to be paid by the buyer at close. The ownership transfer fee applies to initial buyer and any subsequent buyer.
Lot buyers must commence home construction within 9 months of closing.
For Phase 1, it is estimated that ‘all in’ single family home prices will range from $749,000 – $2,000,000 — depending on home size, style and buyer selections. ‘All in’ means lot price plus home construction price. Price includes solar; geothermal heating and cooling; EV ready wiring; metal roof; solid wood floors; landscape design, installation and first year TLC. Many of the Belle Farm Phase 1 homes also include a finished ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) which provides separately accessed living quarters for extended family, guests or work from home scenarios.
Coming in 2026, we hope to offer condominiums starting at $375,000.
Yes! There is a 3% offer of compensation to realtors on the lot price.
For the Predesigned Homes Lots, we have notated the estimated ‘all-in’ price range that will give you a general idea of the total cost for the lot plus the cost of construction. This estimated pricing was provided by our primary builder, Brio Design Homes. Upon closing of the lot, you have nine months to start construction on your home. During that time, our builder Brio Design Homes (or your own builder) will work with you to determine the final cost of constructing your specific home based on home size selected (some of our predesigned homes have one or two story options) and your material selections.
For Custom Home Lots, you have the option to take 60 days to determine whether the lot meets the needs for your custom home design and price points as well as the approval of our Design Review Board. Our builder, Brio Design Homes, will help you with this process or choose your own builder and architect. (Outside builders/architects must be approved by the Belle Farm Design Review Board.)
Each home type has a limited number of lots available. To secure the lot you love, submit an Offer to Purchase on that lot. Estella Moschkau, with Sprinkman Real Estate, is available to answer your questions and assist you with submitting an Offer to Purchase. See our process.
Our Custom Home Lots (Lots 36 – 43) allow you to bring your own design as long as you work within our Design Guidelines.

One of the joys of Belle Farm is that Single Family lots were zoned to allow for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit, sometimes called a granny flat or an apartment over a garage). Most of the single family lots/home types in Phase 1, except Shotgun Homes and a few Nest Homes, allow the owner to design and construct an ADU. On most lots, this will take the form of an apartment space over the garage. These units provide opportunities for work from home scenarios, guest rooms or a separate living space for family or friends.
Lot Condition Reports for each lot are available (including setbacks, elevations, etc). Contact Us.
Belle Farm is in the Middleton-Cross Plains school district.
High School: Middleton
Middle School: Kromrey
Elementary School: Northside
Phase 1 planned amenities are: yoga studio, gym, fitness studio, lap pool, cabana, sauna, courtyard, lounge, library work space, meditation room and restaurant (these are designed to reside in a future building called The Rose) and a coffee shop (in a future building called Bluebird). As part of the monthly HOA fee, Belle Farm residents will receive household memberships to these amenity spaces.
Although designed with immense care and planned for Phase 1, the timing of the above amenities depends on when The Rose and Bluebird are developed. Homeowners will receive a credit on their monthly HOA fees until the amenities have been constructed.
See our Declaration of Covenants for Belle Farm. The covenants will be recorded prior to the start of public infrastructure construction.
See our Final Plat for Belle Farm. The Final Plat will be recorded prior to the start of public infrastructure construction.
There is a Homeowner’s Association. HOA fees will be approximately $25o/month (these fees begin upon occupancy permit) and include yard/snow maintenance, home internet and a household membership to Belle Farm’s health and wellness amenities. Homeowner will receive a monthly membership credit of $130/month until the amenity spaces are constructed.
See a draft of the Belle Farm HOA Bylaws.
Yard maintenance is handled for the homeowners in the following ways:
Per the Design Guidelines, yards must be planted with deep-rooted plants and flowers versus traditional grass lawns. Nationally renowned horticulturalist, Jeff Epping has designed the Belle Farm plant list and mixes.
In your construction budget, your builder will include a landscape line item that includes both the landscape installation fee and the first year of maintenance (which will be provided by the installer). The first year requires a bit more TLC to get the plants established. After the first year, yards will be maintained by the HOA and is included as part of the HOA fees.
Private streets/alleys (in Phase 1 this means Another Way, California Love Trail and Morning Poem Place) will be maintained by the HOA and included in the HOA budget.
For snow removal, HOA’s snow removal contractor will clear private streets/alleys/sidewalks and personal driveways and walkways.
