Approximately 160 Acres | 21 Estate Homesites | Luxury Residential Community
Project Overview
French Ridge of Medina is an exclusive residential development located along Hamel Road near Arrowhead Drive in Medina, Minnesota. Situated on approximately 160 acres of picturesque countryside, the community offers a distinctive blend of luxury estate living, natural beauty, and thoughtfully preserved open space. Rachel Development is helping transform this expansive property into a carefully planned residential neighborhood featuring 21 estate homesites. The development emphasizes preserving Medina’s rural character while creating opportunities for custom homes surrounded by mature trees, wetlands, rolling terrain, and scenic landscapes. A defining feature of French Ridge is its commitment to environmental preservation, including approximately 51.5 acres protected through a permanent conservation easement. This approach balances residential development with the long-term protection of the property’s natural resources and open spaces. Working alongside Charles Cudd Co. and local stakeholders, Rachel Development is bringing forward a community that demonstrates the value of thoughtful land planning, responsible development, and collaboration. French Ridge of Medina reflects Rachel Development’s commitment to creating exceptional residential communities that complement their surroundings while delivering lasting value to homeowners and the broader community.
