Inspiration - a natural neighborhood

Beautifully situated in the quaint, historic town of Bayport, MN, sits a classically designed community consisting of 251 homes using only a small portion of its 245 protected acres of open space. The development boasts walking trails, hiking paths and an on-site naturalist.
Cates Fine Homes selected their lot site for its proximity to open space, capitalizing on the views of native restored prairie grasses and wildlife.
