Elwell Farms
HAM LAKE NEIGHBORHOODS
BEST FIT: Luxury buyers who want acreage-style homesites, custom-home flexibility, and a neighborhood that feels more estate-oriented than suburban. Best for buyers who value privacy, natural surroundings, builder quality, and a true community.

WHAT TO KNOW: This isn't just a "large lots and nothing else" community. The appeal is that buyers can get bigger homesites, wooded or wetland-oriented views, and a high-end custom-home environment without giving up neighborhood amenities and shared recreation. Because the community is large and lot character varies, homesite selection matters quite a bit. Compared with Hidden Forest or Swedish Chapel Estates, Elwell Farms is the choice when amenities and community programming matter alongside acreage. STANDOUT FEATURE: The combination of scale and amenities. Elwell Farms is a 105–106 homesite community spanning roughly 515 acres next to Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, with a more robust amenity package than most acreage- style neighborhoods: pool, clubhouse, pickleball, basketball, fishing pier, trails, pavilion, and open activity space.
Hidden Forest
BEST FIT: Move-up and luxury buyers who want a secluded, custom- home feel without giving up convenient access to Blaine and Andover. Hidden Forest is a quiet, wooded enclave with custom and semi-custom homes from TJB Homes and Price Homes.

STANDOUT FEATURE: The setting! Hidden Forest sits next to the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, with wooded and pond- facing lots, privacy, and larger homesites that can support features like walkout lower levels, four-car garages, and customized layouts. WHAT TO KNOW: This is better suited for buyers who care about lot quality, home design, and a quieter environment than for someone looking for a pool-and-clubhouse neighborhood. The rambler and two-story luxury plans, with options like main-level living, sports rooms, and flex spaces, mean the appeal is much more about the homes and homesites than a large amenity package. Compared with Elwell Farms, Hidden Forest is the smaller, more boutique custom-home option without shared recreation.
