$4.75M New Buffalo Home Listed by Chicago Developer and Organic Farmer
In New Buffalo, a peaceful Michigan hamlet, a whimsical estate has appeared for sale that reflects the area’s increasing allure for upscale buyers. Rob Buono, a Chicago developer who also operates a 400-acre southwest Michigan organic farm, sold his modern country house for $4.75 million. The sale not only reflects Buono’s various passions, but also the new face of New Buffalo real estate.
A synergy of urban planning and ecological farming
Rob Buono’s career has been a mix of city planning and organic farming. In Chicago, he was involved in several home developments that re-mapped the city map. But, his southwestern Michigan-based organic farm business reflects to what extent he is still committed to saving nature and living the ecoway way of life. It’s seen even in the way he planned and constructed his New Buffalo house with its material and construction.
Architectural Beauty in Nature
New Buffalo home is a marvel of contemporary design beautifully blended with nature. With or without ornaments, the house sits between Lake Michigan and woods in all directions. Open space, sunlight, and seamless indoor-outdoor transition constitute the house that is heaven on earth as it combines luxury with friendliness towards nature.
New Buffalo Real Estate Rejuvenation
New Buffalo has experienced rapid growth in luxury residential development. The pandemic generation, in particular, has witnessed the need for luxury and nature proximity homes on the rise. Clients, especially customers in urban markets in cities such as Chicago, are attracted to the beauty of the town, convenience of access, and ability to live quiet lives. Buono’s sale is indicative of the trend, reflecting the town’s shift as one of the most-wanted luxury-home.
A Vision for Community and Affordability
In addition to upscale homes, Buono has also been dedicated to building communities. His purchase of the former Chikaming Elementary School site in Sawyer is to solve the problem of the neighborhood’s housing affordability. With his vision of building affordable housing, Buono continues to make area workers affordable for nice houses against the luxury developments trend with community-based projects.
Rob Buono’s $4.75 million New Buffalo home showcases a combination of high living, sustainability, and social responsibility. As New Buffalo grows, homes like Buono’s show that the village is poised to be a center of high living, founded on social and environmental responsibility.
