Reclaimed Land in Manhattan Illinois
Photography: Deanna Cash
This new construction home is situated on 200 acres of reclaimed farmland. Wanting to renew the well used earth, the clients restored the land to it's original prairie state. Additionally, a large pond was added that will evolve into a natural habitat for fish and wildlife. A grove of 200 young trees was planted to be distributed throughout the property as they mature.
Cleared Cherry and Hickory trees from another property were reclaimed and used as accents around the house in their raw state.
