LEED-Certified Fairway Pines Cottages
A Grand View Golf Community
Fairway Pines is Minnesota’s first golf course community featuring Leadership in Energy and Environmental design-certified homes.
In designing Fairway Pines, quality craftsmanship of the homes, while maintaining the integrity of the natural surroundings, was extremely important to us. Working with Nor-Son, we developed these characteristics into a unique, environmentally friendly community with elements of timeless quality.

This unique cottage tastefully combines eco-luxury and maintenance-free living
Today’s luxury doesn’t necessarily mean large, expansive spaces. This cottage consists of 1,344 square feet of single-level living. Sustainable, luxurious finishes include exterior Hardy Plank siding and metal roof; and interior reclaimed beams, hand scraped wood flooring, ceramic tile baths, Crystal cabinets and granite countertops.
Nor-Son received the Silver certification level under the LEED for Homes Category
LEED certification provides third-party assurance to homebuyers that their home complies with rigorous technical requirements for energy and water efficiency, indoor air quality, non-toxic materials, and environmental performance. Some of the sustainable and green elements incorporated into the home included high efficiency fixtures, Energy Star appliances, enhanced insulation, a tight building envelope, sprinkler system with rain sensors and eco-friendly building materials.
Environmentally friendly neighborhood in the Brainerd Lakes Area
Fairway Pines is comprised of 20 homes sites offering 3 distinct cottage designs that have been carefully designed by Nor-Son, Inc. to blend into the Pines Golf Course. This unique community is perfect for snowbirds or investors who are looking to leave a smaller footprint with their lifestyle, yet enjoy the finest that Minnesota and Grand View Lodge resort living has to offer.
