If you haven’t spent a summer afternoon at Rock Cut State Park, you might be living a little too far away.

With 3,000+ acres of trails, Pierce Lake and some of northern Illinois’ best fishing, Rock Cut State Park is less than 20 minutes from The Trails of Dawson Creek in Poplar Grove!

If your idea of a summer Saturday involves a trail run or kayak rather than a highway, a visit to The Trails of Dawson Creek is worth the drive. Explore the community: https://www.gerstadbuilders.com/the-trails-of-dawson-creek.

This is what your summer weekends look like when Geneva Lake is 10 minutes from your front door.

Most new construction communities offer small slices of land and a view of your neighbor’s siding. Bailey Estates offers up to 1.25 acres, a 4-acre community park and a quick drive to the lake. See the difference for yourself: https://www.gerstadbuilders.com/bailey-estates

Spring is in full swing in Williams Bay, and Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy is one of the best reasons to be outside right now.

Just minutes from Bailey Estates, this 200-acre protected conservancy offers restored prairies, wetland trails and Geneva Lake shoreline views that feel genuinely wild despite being a short walk from home. Migratory birds, wildflowers and open meadows make spring the season to visit. Our latest blog explores what makes Kishwauketoe special and what else the Williams Bay area has to offer year-round.

41 years of homes. 41 summers of families making memories in them.

Four decades of building in the same areas means Gerstad’s reputation isn’t something we promote. It’s something our neighbors tell you themselves, which is exactly why our buyer approval rating has stayed above 95% for years. If you’ve been thinking about building a new home in McHenry, Poplar Grove or Ringwood, there’s no better time to see what that kind of experience looks like in person.

☀️Chicago shows off a little in warm weather.

Start the day with a walk along the lakefront, spend the afternoon at a Cubs game or out on a patio in Wrigleyville, then head downtown for rooftop views or a riverwalk stroll. From outdoor dining to neighborhood festivals, there’s always something happening once the season turns.

📐 Not all ranch plans use space this well.

The Palmer makes a statement with a vaulted great room & an oversized kitchen island that anchors the entire layout. It feels open, but still defined where it needs to be.

The details? 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 2,017 sq ft & a 2–3 car garage priced at $419,490.

Take the 3D tour & see how the Palmer plan comes together: https://www.gerstadbuilders.com/the-trails-of-dawson-creek/palmer-dawson-creek.
