Mercer Plan on a Walkout Pond Homesite in Hawthorne! Available Fall 2026. Don't miss this opportunity to own new construction in Hawthorne, one of Cottage Grove's most established communities. Located in the highly regarded South Washington County School District, including East Ridge High School, this new Mercer plan sits on a walkout homesite overlooking a pond, offering added privacy. The Mercer features a bright, open main-level layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes white cabinetry, Calacatta Rusta quartz countertops, and a built-in design that opens seamlessly to the dining and gathering spaces. Large windows bring in natural light and take advantage of the backyard views. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including a spacious owner's suite with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The walkout lower level provides plenty of potential for future finished living space, a recreation room, guest area, or additional storage. One of Hawthorne's biggest advantages is that it's already established. Enjoy tree-lined streets, neighborhood charm, nearby parks, shopping, dining, and convenient access to major commuter routes. With no future phases planned, opportunities for new construction in this neighborhood are becoming increasingly limited. If you're looking for a brand-new home with pond views, a walkout lot, and the feel of a completed community, the Mercer is a must-see!
