Summit Point at Hawktree

Summit Point at Hawktree is, by a clear margin, the largest and most ambitious residential development found anywhere in this batch's research -- a reported 1,000-plus-acre master-planned community along the north side of Hawktree Golf Club, led by Cam Knutson's Knutson Development (Knutson Realty/Knutson Companies), just minutes north of Bismarck. The Burleigh County Commission approved the project's rezoning from agricultural to residential and its planned-unit development in March 2022, following a local zoning hearing that drew some area-resident pushback, contingent on state Department of Environmental Quality approval of the subdivision's wastewater system. Local coverage frames the project as central to Cam Knutson's broader ambitions for growth in northwest Bismarck.

The project's first addition includes more than 80 new lots across a variety of lot types and sizes, with more than 20 acres of the initial phase designated as open amenity space. Developer materials describe a planned community center -- a pool, fitness center, and gathering space sited on a golf-course-view lot, complete with a sledding hill for winter use -- along with planned bike trails and a proposed trail connecting directly to the Hawktree Golf Club clubhouse. However, buyers should understand that much of this remains a plan rather than a built amenity: Knutson's own materials describe construction on the community center beginning only in late 2027 or 2028, meaning today's buyers are purchasing into a multi-year, multi-phase build-out rather than a finished golf-course neighborhood.
