Lansman

About the House

A House built for generations.

Lansman is a privately held house of real estate, hospitality, and design.

We believe exceptional places deserve long lives.

We acquire, restore, develop, and steward exceptional properties with an emphasis on architecture, landscape, cultural value, privacy, and enduring relevance. Our approach combines the permanence and discretion of a traditional estate house with a modern point of view on design, technology, and service.

Founded by the Lansman family and headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, the house is shaped by a lineage of Danish and English influence and by a deep connection to the natural beauty of the Midwest.

We are drawn to places with historical character — homes, estates, and landscapes with a sense of history, identity, and belonging.

Places that are naturally beautiful and interact with the surrounding nature, and built for generations to come.

Lansman is not built around scale for scale's sake.

It is built around significance.

A home should become richer with time rather than arrive fully formed.
