In this February update, we’re taking a look at Stonemill Farms in Woodbury, Minnesota—what’s currently for sale, what’s pending, what has recently sold, and why this neighborhood has such a wide range of prices (from the mid–$500s all the way into seven figures).
One important note right away: Stonemill Farms is hard to “draw” cleanly on a map because it isn’t a simple square subdivision. It blends into nearby areas, sits close to other neighborhoods, and includes a mix of townhomes and single-family homes—some highly custom and some more spec-built.
Where is Stonemill Farms in Woodbury?
Stonemill Farms sits near several well-known Woodbury neighborhoods, which can make boundaries confusing if you’re not familiar with the area.
Nearby you’ll find:
- Dancing Waters (north of parts of Stonemill)
- Bailey’s Arbor (south—heavier concentration of townhomes, plus single-family pockets)
- Wedgewood (nearby, with homes from several decades and styles)
- Newer subdivisions closer to the East Ridge area
The shape is “weird” (in a good way)—it sprawls and weaves around other developments, which is why searching correctly matters when you’re looking at listings.
Active Listings in Stonemill Farms (Right Now)
At the time of this update, there is one home for sale in Stonemill Farms:
1 Active Listing
- Asking price: about $1.3 million
- Size: about 5,200 sq ft
- Days on market: 1 day (just listed)
- High-end finishes (beautiful countertops, strong luxury presentation)
This highlights something important about Stonemill Farms: it’s not one price point—it’s multiple tiers inside one neighborhood, based on builder, lot, and how custom the home is.
Also worth noting: Stonemill Farms has its own pools, which is a big lifestyle draw for buyers.
Pending Homes
✅ 1 home is pending, around $558,000.
That’s a huge contrast from the $1.3M active listing—and it tells you exactly what Stonemill is:
A neighborhood where you can “buy in” at the lower end and still be surrounded by higher-end homes.
The pending home is described as more of a spec-style build (not heavy custom), with simpler finishes—more basic counters, fewer premium upgrades, and a more straightforward layout.
Sold Homes: The Last 60 Days
When filtering the recent period, Stonemill Farms shows only two closed sales in the last ~60 days.
Recent Closed Sales (Last 60 Days)
- Roughly in the $600,000 range
- One example around $690,000
- About 4,000 sq ft
- Built around 2008
- A recognizable “spec-built” style (like many PY-built models), often featuring:
- two-story great room
- open layout
- formal dining / formal living rooms (common for that era)
So despite Stonemill being a larger neighborhood, the theme is similar to other Woodbury areas right now:
There simply isn’t a lot of inventory moving at once.
The Bigger View: 180-Day Trends + Interest Rates
Zooming out to the last ~180 days, Stonemill Farms has been seeing sales roughly between:
- $570,000 up to $900,000+
- Higher prices generally signal pure custom builds
- Lower-to-mid range tends to be spec-built homes (still nice—just fewer custom features)
This update also notes the market shifting as interest rates drop to around 5.9%, which tends to increase buyer activity and competition—especially in neighborhoods where buyers can still find value at the lower end.
Why Prices Vary So Much Inside Stonemill Farms
Stonemill Farms includes:
- Townhomes
- Mostly single-family homes
- A mix from spec-built to fully custom luxury
That’s why you can see:
- a $1.1M+ custom home with luxury finishes and premium design choices
- and a $558K spec home that’s more “run-of-the-mill” in layout (smaller island, simpler kitchen configuration, fewer high-end touches)
A simple way to think about it:
Same neighborhood. Different builders. Different tiers of home.
Luxury Buyers: Comparing Stonemill to Nearby Land + Acreage Options
Once buyers push into the $900K–$1.3M range, they start comparing Stonemill Farms to places where a million dollars buys something different, such as:
- Afton / Afton Alps area (river, boating lifestyle, scenery)
- Cottage Grove (often more land or more house for the money)
- Lake Elmo / Bayport / Stillwater area (more acreage options)
- Even parts of Hudson and western Wisconsin depending on commute preferences
One key insight from the discussion: in higher price tiers, buyers have more choices and may ask:
- “Do I want a premium neighborhood in Woodbury near shopping and Target?”
- “Or do I want acreage, riverfront, or a more private lifestyle for similar money?”
Riverfront and lakefront properties also stand out because there’s only so much shoreline available, and scarcity drives pricing.
Location Anchors: East Ridge + Woodbury Convenience
Stonemill’s location keeps it attractive because it’s still:
- close to retail and shopping
- near key roads
- near East Ridge High School
- and positioned among multiple popular neighborhoods that buyers recognize
Bottom Line
Stonemill Farms is one of Woodbury’s most versatile neighborhoods because it lets buyers enter at different levels:
- Entry-to-mid range: spec-built homes in the $500s–$700s
- Upper range: custom homes pushing $900K+
- Luxury tier: occasional listings around $1.1M–$1.3M+ when true custom builds hit the market
Right now, inventory is still tight, but the neighborhood continues to attract buyers because it offers:
- pools and community amenities
- a strong Woodbury location
- and a mix of home styles for different budgets
