A new community is being constructed in Michigan City, Indiana about one hour from Chicago.
Tryon Farm is a rare combination of new simple houses and lofts, ranging in size from 400 to 3,500 square feet, grouped in seven settlements on 170 acres of countryside. Three-quarters of the property will be preserved as rolling pasture, meadows and ponds while original farm buildings will be preserved.
There are six different "settlements" in vary stages of completion - The Farmstead, The Woods, The Pond, The Dune, The Grove and The Garden Village. Each settlement recreates distinct architecture that complements it's surrounding area. Homes are built simply, with practical kitchens, private walled yards and detailed attention to energy conservation. The residents participate in events and gatherings such as group bike rides, farm sales, golf outings, canoe trips and nature walks that appreciate the local environment and foster a sense of community.
