Scar at Crooked Lake

04/19/2026

I’m looking for the doers, the volunteers, and the people who believe our seniors deserve a better way to live.
​We are meeting at Harold’s Place on 12 at 2:00 PM today to talk about the 17-unit Senior Sanctuary and how we can get this moving for our community. Whether you’re a builder, a supporter, or just curious about the vision for independent senior living in Onsted, come pull up a chair.
​Let’s get to work on building something that lasts. 🌲

I’m a pro with a plan. After 30 years in the trades, I’m putting my experience into a mission: Sustainable, independent living for our seniors.
​We aren't building a "facility" or "the home." We’re building a Sanctuary.
​This is a 17-unit community on 15 acres of solid ground. Private, high-quality cabins (like Unit 1 shown here) for seniors who want to stay on their own, keep their dignity, and live among neighbors who care.
​The Goal: 17 Modern-Rustic Cabins
​Central Meeting Hall for community connection
​Affordable, sustainable.
​I’m turning off comments so I can stay focused on the blueprints and moving dirt. If you believe our seniors deserve a community, not just a room in a building, hit FOLLOW and join us on this journey. >

The Heart of the Scar: The Central Lodge
​Timber-Frame Heritage: The structural soul of the Lodge is built from 3-foot diameter oaks harvested directly from the 15-acre property. These massive, hand-hewn posts anchor the building to the land and provide a legacy of strength for our residents.
​Built for Efficiency: We ditched the expensive-to-heat cathedral ceilings for a practical 10-foot wall height. Combined with polished concrete floors and an integrated hydronic radiant heating system, the Lodge is designed for maximum thermal mass and minimum energy waste.
​The "Lifeboat" Infrastructure: * The Shared Kitchen: A commercial-grade hub designed for communal meals, reducing the energy footprint of 17 individual kitchens.
​High-Volume Laundry: We’ve moved the heavy-load washers and dryers out of the cabins and into this central hub, powered by our on-site solar microgrid.
​Accessible Recovery: Every inch of this space is designed for ADA compliance, providing a bright, open environment where veterans and seniors can live with independence and dignity. https://g.co/gemini/share/6e055169c25d

I know what it’s like to wake up after a bypass and realize the house you spent your life in is now a burden you can’t afford. We shouldn't have to choose between our health and our homes. The SCAR is about creating a place where you can recover on solid ground without the weight of a massive mortgage or a 15-acre lawn to mow. We’re building the sanctuary I wish I’d had."

The Gold Standard for Senior Living. This 'Pocket Neighborhood' of cottage-style homes is designed for independence and connectivity. Instead of an institution, these seniors have their own front doors opening onto shared gardens and walking paths. It’s about more life, less cleaning, and staying connected to your neighbors."

This isn't just a rental; it’s a rent-to-own model that creates homeownership and a financial safety net for the community. If they can do it in the city, we can do it in the country.

We are combining high-durability modern engineering (like that stamped, stained concrete slab you can see on the porch) with the timeless aesthetic of:
​Natural Stone: A rugged stone wainscoting base for durability.
​Weathered Cedar: Dark, rustic cedar shake siding that blends with the woods.
​Comfort: Natural wood timber porch and a classic front door that says, "Welcome Home."
​This is more than a building; it’s a sanctuary. It’s designed to be a safe, quiet, and beautiful place to start over—debt-free, accessible, and in harmony with the natural beauty of Deep Lake.
​We are building for dignity and long-term comfort. What do you think of this classic lake view style? Let us know in the comments!
