About Us
Blue Spruce Properties, LLC is a locally owned and operated real estate company that develops and manages residential property in central Minnesota. Our developments are located in the same small towns where we live and work.
We often partner with cities and local officials to expand quality housing options in their communities. Blue Spruce Properties currently has about 50 units under management with multiple new projects in the pipeline.




Commitment to Quality
We are focused on providing high quality rental housing to the communities we serve. This shows through in every aspect of our work, from initial design to construction, management and maintenance.
Our first development, Eagles Trail in Ottertail, MN (2020), and our second, Spruce Meadow in Battle Lake, MN (2022), showcase our ability to create comfortable, well-planned living spaces. Both developments feature a mix of 2 and 3-bedroom units custom designed with ground-floor living, attached garages, open floor plans, and high-quality appliances and finishes.
We understand the importance of a well-maintained home and strive to provide a stress-free living experience. Our properties are popular with retirees, families, and individuals seeking convenient access to local amenities, such as bike trails, public beaches, and walkable downtown shops.
Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our reach and bring our quality housing expertise to nearby communities, including Detroit Lakes, Parkers Prairie, Henning, and Perham. We are dedicated to building strong communities by providing high-quality rental options that meet the diverse needs of our residents.
