About the Community
White Oak Savanna is a thoughtfully crafted custom home community set among rolling prairie, gentle valleys, and quiet ponds, defined by acres of rare native oak savanna preserved for the White Oaks community. Once working farmland and historic oak habitat, the land’s character remains where heritage trees rise overhead and open space is protected for generations. Just minutes from downtown Stillwater and the St. Croix River Valley, it is a place defined by privacy, preservation, and a deep connection to the landscape. At Cates Fine Homes, we are honored to design and build custom residences within this setting, each tailored to the way our clients live, entertain, and find retreat in the land around them.
The
Land
Rolling hills, gentle valleys, and open prairie define White Oaks Savanna. Each homesite follows the natural contours of the land, offering a sense of space, light, and quiet. Trails for walking and biking wind through 5–7 acre properties, connecting homes to the landscape.
The
History
Once working farmland and historic oak habitat, this land reflects a legacy of care and nurture. Its story continues through 115 acres set aside for organic farming and local farm-to-table gardens, honoring the property’s agricultural roots and natural character.
The
Heritage
Over 200 acres of rare oak savanna have been permanently preserved for the White Oaks community. Every element from planning to architecture was guided by a commitment to create homes that feel timeless, intentional, and deeply connected to nature.
The
Experience
Life at White Oaks Savanna is shaped by quiet moments, open skies, and a deep connection to the land. Each home offers openness, blending privacy and community, while being surrounded by preserved prairie, heritage trees, and protected open spaces.
