A Message
from our founder, Thomas Dent…
 Welcome to
Nobletree! We are a new company with an even newer concept of
building homes into small communities. And we are very excited about
sharing it with you.
I am a Lifestyle Community Builder and the founder and Executive
Director of Nobletree Investment and Development, Inc. I specialize in
building and developing cohesive communities within beautifully
landscaped environments.
With Nobletree, I've combined my business expertise, my gift for
landscape and interior space design, and my role as a Real Estate
Broker. I am passionate about building communities of like minded
people that create a sense of family. I believe that through being
part of a community that we find comfort, safety and strength. We have
lost that sense of belonging, of being part of something larger, in
the places where we live and I believe it is important that we get
that back.
It is my intention that Nobletree put the needs of each community at
the heart of the building and development plan and giving homeowners
access to amenities that suit their lifestyle. Even as a young man and then through my college years at Purdue I
planned, designed, and built small projects. From building a working
shed that followed the lines of my home and fit into the neighborhood
to designing a rock garden that included consideration of sight lines,
drainage, light and even prevailing winds... for me it has always been
about combining all the aspects of a project into a pleasing and
peaceful whole. Through many years of entrepreneurship...from building and running
financial services companies... to my years as a Registered Investment
Advisor... through realizing the dream of this company it has always
been about building something lasting. I have always delighted in
laying out living and work areas for comfort and to optimize the flow
of people and their work through the space they occupy. I once built a
16,000 square office building to facilitate four different family
owned businesses. Combining, light, comfort, fresh air, workflow and
efficiency... all on a beautifully landscaped five acre campus next to
a lake...complete with walking path to encourage good health in the
staff!
I have a special affinity for trees and what they add to our lives. My
most recent home I built on a 30 acre parcel in rural Harbor Country.
The land had been completely cleared so was an empty canvas. I located
the house on a hill overlooking a pond we created including a
waterfall. The house has numerous large windows to take in the views
in all directions. We planted hundreds of trees to enhance the views
but I found that many of the native trees I so wanted to include were
not available commercially. So I planted thousands of these noble
species on an adjacent parcel. As you may have guessed that is where
the name of our company comes from.....Nobletree. So please enjoy the site and be sure to sign up for our
email list
and give us feedback on what features and amenities you would like to
see in your Nobletree home.
Best Regards, Thomas Dent |
