The Sanctuary Minnesota

$350 – $450 Per Month

The Sanctuary Minnesota rests on 80 wooded acres in Ogilvie, just north of Mille Lacs Lake. Founded in 2015, it was built by Bill and Brenda Campbell as a retreat for people who want to live simply and quietly in nature. Here, the land is surrounded by trees, trails, and wildlife, offering a peaceful lifestyle far from crowded neighborhoods and city noise.

Tiny homeowners often struggle to find legal parking, fair leases, and supportive community. This village provides all three. It was designed specifically to meet the needs of tiny home residents who value both privacy and connection. The Sanctuary combines affordable land access with a welcoming atmosphere, creating a place where downsizing feels secure, practical, and intentional.
