Introducing Oaks of Tyrone: Custom Luxury Homes in Tyrone Township

Something exciting is taking shape in Tyrone Township. Oaks of Tyrone is a brand-new luxury custom home community developed exclusively by Big Sky Development — one of Michigan's top-ranked builders — and it's bringing true custom construction to one of Livingston County's most desirable settings. If you've been looking for spacious wooded lots, a top-rated school district, and the ability to build a home that's genuinely yours, this is a community you'll want to know about.

As Marketing Director for Big Sky Development and Managing Broker of The Moen Group, I'm personally involved in bringing this community to market. Here's what makes Oaks of Tyrone stand out — and why early interest has been strong.

What Is Oaks of Tyrone?

Oaks of Tyrone is a new residential subdivision located off Runyan Lake Road in Tyrone Township, Livingston County, Michigan — with a Fenton mailing address. The community includes 34 homesites, each approximately one acre in size, set among mature oak and maple trees that have been carefully preserved throughout the development process.

Unlike production-built subdivisions where you choose from a limited set of floor plans and color palettes, Oaks of Tyrone is exclusively served by Big Sky Development — a true custom builder. That means every home here is designed and built to reflect the individual buyer's vision, not a builder's template.

The community is positioned along the US-23 corridor, giving residents easy highway access to Flint, Ann Arbor, and the broader metro Detroit area. Tyrone Township itself has a population of approximately 12,000 and offers the rural-suburban lifestyle that today's buyers are seeking: generous setbacks, wooded settings, and a strong sense of community — all within minutes of everyday conveniences.

The Homesites: Wooded, Spacious, and Private

One of the first things buyers notice about Oaks of Tyrone is the lots themselves. At roughly one acre each, these homesites offer something that's increasingly rare in southeastern Michigan new construction: genuine space and privacy.

Big Sky Development has taken a deliberate approach to the land plan, preserving the mature tree canopy that gives Tyrone Township its character. The result is a community where each homesite feels tucked into the woods — not carved out of them. Buyers can expect deep, wooded setbacks, natural privacy between neighbors, and the kind of setting that makes coming home feel like a retreat.

For buyers accustomed to the tighter lot dimensions found in metro Detroit suburbs, the difference is immediately apparent. These are lots where you can build the home you've been envisioning — with room for a spacious yard, outdoor living spaces, and even outbuildings if you choose.

The Homes: True Custom Construction Starting in the $600s

Every home at Oaks of Tyrone is a genuine custom build. Buyers work directly with Big Sky Development's in-house design team in their state-of-the-art showroom to select floor plans, customize layouts, and choose from a wide range of materials, fixtures, and finishes — from granite countertops and KOHLER fixtures to flooring, cabinetry, and exterior stone options.

Packages at Oaks of Tyrone start in the $600s, including the homesite. That pricing positions the community as an exceptional value for buyers who want a true custom home on an acre lot in the Hartland School District — a combination that's difficult to find at this price point anywhere in Livingston County.

Every Big Sky home includes an exclusive in-house 10-year structural warranty — one of the strongest in southeastern Michigan — plus an optional 10-year waterproof warranty for added peace of mind. The builder's all-inclusive process means you work directly with the owner, Tino M. Pulice, who is on the job site daily.

The School District: Hartland Consolidated Schools

Families considering Oaks of Tyrone are drawn in large part to the Hartland Consolidated Schools district. Hartland is consistently ranked among the top 10% of school districts in Michigan, serving students across six townships in Livingston County with strong academics, competitive athletics, and a comprehensive range of programs for all grade levels.

The district's graduation rate approaches 96%, and Hartland offers robust AP coursework, career and technical education programs, and extracurricular opportunities that rival districts twice its size. For families relocating to the area — or upgrading from a community with less highly rated schools — the Hartland district is one of the strongest draws in the region.

It's worth noting that Tyrone Township's combination of one-acre lots and a top-tier school district is uncommon in southeastern Michigan. In many comparable districts, you'd need to look at resale homes in established neighborhoods — or pay a significant premium — to find a similar pairing of space, privacy, and school quality.

Nearby Amenities: Lakes, Downtown Fenton, and Highway Access

One of the lifestyle advantages of Tyrone Township is its proximity to the lakes and communities that make this corner of Michigan so appealing. Lake Shannon is nearby, and the broader Fenton area offers over 50 lakes within a 10-mile radius — including Lake Fenton, Lake Irish, Lobdell Lake, and the Holly Recreation Area. For boating, fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying Michigan's lake culture, the options are exceptional.

Downtown Fenton — with its walkable streetscape, locally owned restaurants, shops, and community events — is just a short drive away. It's the kind of downtown where you can grab coffee on a Saturday morning, browse a farmers market, or catch a community event without heading into a major city.

For commuters, US-23 access is one of the most practical advantages of this location. Flint is roughly 25 minutes south, Ann Arbor about 40 minutes southeast, and the broader metro Detroit area is easily reachable. Residents get the space and quiet of a rural-suburban setting without sacrificing connectivity to employment centers, medical facilities, and regional amenities.
