Cornerstone in Stoney Creek

Build New in an Established Gull Lake Neighborhood

A brand-new home does not have to mean building in a brand-new subdivision. Stoney Creek offers a limited number of Cornerstone Construction building opportunities in an established Augusta neighborhood in the Gull Lake Community Schools area—giving buyers the opportunity to build something new while enjoying mature surroundings, natural green space and a neighborhood that is already here.

Explore the Available Stoney Creek Homesites

Click a highlighted homesite to see the current listing, price and property details. But don't stop with the dimensions of the lot. Each of these homesites offers something different, and the right choice depends on the home you want to build and the way you want to live.

How to Use the Interactive Map

Click on any highlighted lot to:

• View pricing and details

• See the exact location within the neighborhood

• Explore build options with the builder

• Schedule a showing or consultation

This is the easiest way to understand which lots are still available—and which one fits your vision best.

New Construction in an Established Neighborhood

Located along M-89 between 46th & 48th Streets in Augusta, Stoney Creek offers a unique opportunity to build in a setting that blends natural beauty with everyday convenience.
Stoney Creek offers another option. The roads, neighboring homes and natural surroundings are already here. You can drive through the neighborhood, see the setting and get a much clearer sense of what living here may feel like before deciding where—and what—to build.

At the same time, your home can be designed around the way you live today: main-floor living, better storage, work-from-home space, outdoor living, a walkout lower level where the site allows, or simply a floorplan that does not require you to remodel someone else's house to make it work. The Veenstra Team is working with Cornerstone to help buyers understand not just which lots are available, but what each homesite may allow you to build and how the entire building decision can come together.

What You'll Find in Stoney Creek

• 30 acres of natural parkland

• Private wooded homesites

• Rolling terrain with walkout potential

• Established hiking trails throughout the neighborhood

• Every lot has its own personality

What Could You Build Here?

All available lots are owned by Cornerstone Construction, the exclusive builder in Stoney Creek.

The conversation does not have to start with a specific house plan. It can start with the way you want to live.

We Will help you evaluate plans that work appropriately with the individual homesite, neighborhood requirements and site conditions.

Looking for a Ranch?

We can identify the homesites that make the most sense to explore for main-floor living.

Want a Walkout?

Start with the sites where the natural grade gives that conversation the strongest potential.

Need More Space?

We can explore larger plans and determine which lots are the better candidates.

Want Something Smaller—but Better?

A thoughtfully designed smaller home can emphasize storage, function, accessibility and the spaces you actually use rather than simply adding square footage. The Cornerstone Team is very familiar with Aging in Place construction and build with flexible living in mind.

Want Something Fully Custom?

If you already have a very specific vision—or the home you need simply does not fit neatly into an existing plan—we can start there too. We can help you think through the homesite, layout, features and priorities, then work with Cornerstone to determine what is possible and how a fully custom approach could come together on the right Stoney Creek lot.

Not sure?

Tell us what you are hoping to build, and the Veenstra Team can help narrow the lots worth exploring before you spend time trying to compare six vacant parcels on your own.

Meet Cornerstone Construction

Thoughtful Homes. Experienced Building. Quality That Matters.

Cornerstone Construction has been building homes throughout Southwest Michigan for decades. Their approach is grounded in something that matters in every successful build: understanding how the homesite, the design, the construction process and the homeowner's priorities all need to work together.

Cornerstone competes on the things that matter long after the excitement of choosing finishes is over—construction knowledge, thoughtful planning, quality workmanship and a home that functions well for the people living in it.

Their floorplans reflect that thinking too. Many are designed around smart, flexible living rather than simply adding square footage: comfortable everyday spaces, useful storage, main-floor living opportunities, thoughtful bedroom and bath arrangements, and layouts that can continue to work as life changes.

And when an existing plan is not the right answer, the conversation can go further. Cornerstone can evaluate modifications, different plan ideas and fully custom possibilities based on the homesite and what the homeowner is trying to accomplish.

Why Stoney Creek Makes That Especially Important

The remaining Stoney Creek homesites are not cookie cutter and interchangeable. Gorgeous trees, grade, orientation, green space, walkout potential and the relationship between the house and the backyard can have a wonderful relationship on these lots.

So the better question is not simply:

“Which Cornerstone plan do you like?”

It is:

“What home makes the most sense on this homesite for the way you want to live?”

That is the kind of building conversation Stoney Creek deserves.

Who Is the Veenstra Team?

If you found this page while searching for Stoney Creek, Gull Lake new construction or places to build in Southwest Michigan, this may also be your first introduction to us.

The Veenstra Team is the real estate team working with Cornerstone to market these Stoney Creek opportunities and help buyers understand them.

But our role is larger than opening the door to a lot or handing you a floorplan.

We want buyers to have enough information to make a wise building decision. That means helping you understand:

• how the different Stoney Creek homesites compare;

• which kinds of plans may make sense on each;

• what questions need to be answered by Cornerstone;

• how the location works for your everyday life;

• what financing a new home may look like;

• how to coordinate a build if you have a home to sell;

• and how a Cornerstone opportunity compares with other new-construction choices available in the market.

We work directly with Cornerstone, so we can often get deeper answers about their homes, lots and building process. At the same time, our job as REALTORS is to help you find the right answer for you—whether that ultimately turns out to be a Cornerstone home in Stoney Creek or another new-construction opportunity.

A Better Way to Start the Conversation

You do not need to know which lot you want.

You do not need to have chosen a floorplan.

And you certainly do not need to have the entire building process figured out.

You can start with something as simple as:

“We are considering building.”
”We aren’t sure how to even begin to think about building, but we would like to have a conversation.”

“We need a ranch.”
“We want a walkout.”
“We have a house to sell first.”
“We want something that will work for us long term.”
“We have a very specific idea and may need to build custom.”
The Veenstra Team can help organize the questions, compare the possibilities and bring Cornerstone into the conversation where their building expertise is needed.

Why The Stoney Creek Location Works So Well

A homesite is more than the piece of ground where the house sits. Before building, it is worth thinking about how the location will work with everyday life — work, school, shopping, recreation and the places you return to week after week.

Stoney Creek’s Augusta location puts it in the Gull Lake area while also offering convenient access in both the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek directions.

Gull Lake Community Schools

Stoney Creek is located within Gull Lake Community Schools, serving families throughout the Richland, Augusta and Gull Lake area.

For buyers who already live in the district, building in Stoney Creek can create an opportunity to move into a new home without leaving the school community and local connections they already know. For buyers relocating to the area, the Veenstra Team can help provide additional information about the district, individual schools and educational options so you can do your own research before making a decision.

Stoney Creek is Positioned Between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek

One of the practical advantages of Stoney Creek is its location between two employment and service centers.

Kalamazoo provides access to major employers and institutions including Stryker, Pfizer, Zoetis, Bronson Healthcare, Beacon Health System, Western Michigan University and WMed.

In the other direction, Battle Creek provides additional employment opportunities through companies and organizations including WK Kellogg Co., DENSO and Duncan Aviation, along with healthcare, shopping and community services.

That can make Stoney Creek especially worth considering for households where work, family or daily activities pull in more than one direction.

Outdoor Recreation Is Close to HomE

This part of Southwest Michigan offers unusually easy access to outdoor recreation.

Fort Custer Recreation Area is nearby, with more than 3,000 acres of lakes, trails, woods and outdoor recreation between Augusta and Battle Creek.

The Sherman Lake YMCA Outdoor Center is also in Augusta and offers a variety of recreation, fitness, youth and community programs.

And, of course, the broader Gull Lake area provides opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming and enjoying the water throughout the warmer months.

For buyers who value trails, trees, lakes and time outside, those amenities add another dimension to the location.

Shopping & Everyday Needs

Living in Stoney Creek does not mean being disconnected from everyday conveniences.

Richland, Gull Road, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek provide access to groceries, restaurants, pharmacies, home-improvement stores, medical care and larger retail areas.

Rather than simply telling you something is “close,” the Veenstra Team can help you look at the places that matter to your routine — where you work, shop, receive healthcare, attend activities or spend time with family — and understand how Stoney Creek fits into that picture.

Spend weekends on the water at Gull Lake or golfing at Gull Lake Country Club.

Enjoy local restaurants, trails, and community events just minutes from your future home.
Nearby communities include:

• Richland for small-town charm and dining

• Gull Lake for boating and recreation

• Kalamazoo for work, healthcare, and entertainment

• Battle Creek for additional convenience and access
  

Faith & Community Connections

The Augusta, Richland, Gull Lake, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek areas include a wide range of churches and faith communities.

If remaining close to a particular church, denomination or faith community is important to you, we can also help you identify nearby options and understand their relationship to Stoney Creek.

Want to See How the Location Works for You?

Tell us the places that matter in your life.

Where do you work?
Where do your children go to school?
Where do you worship?
Where do you shop most often?
Where does family live?

We can help you look beyond the address and understand how a Stoney Creek home would actually fit into your everyday life.

Utilities Ready for Your Build

Electric: Underground electric is available within the community.
Natural Gas: Available.
Internet & Cable: Service options should be confirmed for the individual homesite.
Water: A private well will be installed as part of your home build
Sewer/Septic: A septic tank will be installed as part of your home build
Association / Building Requirements: Contact The Veenstra Team at 269-350-5514 so we can send you the HOA information and build requirements.

Some building questions are specific to the individual lot, including grading, driveway placement, walkout potential, drainage and how a particular home will sit on the property.

Those are exactly the kinds of details we can help identify so the right questions get to Cornerstone before you make a decision.

Building May Be Only Half of the Decision

For many people considering Stoney Creek, the first question is not:

“Which house should we build?”

It is:

“How do we make this work with the house we already own?”

That is an important part of the building conversation, and it is where the Veenstra Team can provide another layer of guidance.

We can help you think through:

• What your current home may realistically sell for

• How much equity you may have available

• When it may make sense to put your home on the market

• How the sale of your current home can coordinate with a construction timeline

• What happens if your current home sells before the new home is finished

• Financing options that may allow you to begin building before your current home is sold

• How to avoid creating unnecessary timing pressure for either transaction

There is no single right sequence for every buyer. Your home, finances, comfort level and the stage of the new build all affect what makes the most sense and the Veenstra Team can help you understand and talk through some of the options for your particular circumstances. We offer free consultations and will not put pressure on you to make a certain decision. We want to help you understand the options that you have and the implications of those options. You will not feel pressure from us. We want to help you find clarity.

Let’s discuss your options WITHOUT PRESSURE or Obligation

Let us provide you with the building blocks to make decisions. We can begin by helping you understand what your current home may be worth and what the different building-and-selling scenarios could look like. Then you can make the decision with actual information instead of guessing.

See Stoney Creek and the Lots for Yourself

Vacant land can be surprisingly difficult to evaluate online.

Lot dimensions and photographs do not always tell you:

Where would the house actually sit?

Which direction would the backyard face?

What would be behind the home?

How does the grade change across the property?

Could a walkout work here?

Which plan fits this lot better than another?

What might this feel like once there is actually a house here?

Those questions become much easier when you stand on the property.

Still Exploring Your New-Construction Options?

Stoney Creek Is one opportunity for you to build. It doesn’t have to be the only option to consider if you are not finding the right option. There are even other lots and homes under construction in the Gull Lake School district as well as in many other locations. Cornerstone is developing Neighborhoods in many locations in SW Mich.

The Veenstra Team works closely with Cornerstone Construction, which gives us an opportunity to understand its homes, available properties and building process at a deeper level.

But our role as REALTORS is broader than representing one builder.

If Stoney Creek turns out not to have the right homesite, location, price point or timing for you, we can help you explore other new-construction homes, communities, builders and building opportunities throughout Southwest Michigan.

That may include:

• Homes that are already complete

• Homes currently under construction

• Opportunities where selections may still be available

• Other building lots

• Ranch and main-floor-living homes

• Different communities and school districts

• Other builders

• Fully custom possibilities

Our goal is to help you understand all your choices well enough to make a wise real-estate decision.
