Inside a $2.7M Custom Dream Home in Minnesota | Parade Luxury Tour

We’re touring a $2.7M fully custom home in Grant, Minnesota, built by Kootenia Homes — set on nearly 8 acres in a private, high-end development. This is a true design-build project, created from a blank slate to maximize space, privacy, and functionality. One of the biggest advantages here is the lot size — allowing for a wider home footprint, better garage placement, and more architectural flexibility compared to typical suburban lots. Inside, you’ll see a mix of high-end finishes, smart home integration, custom millwork, and thoughtful layout decisions — including a scullery (butler’s pantry), multiple entertaining spaces, and a fully built-out lower level with theater, bar, and gym. If you’re considering building on acreage or exploring fully custom homes in the Twin Cities, this is a great example of what’s possible at this price point.
