This is probably somewhat old-fashioned, but assuming I knew the exact time-frame when the money was needed, I would place it in a low-risk CD. It would likely allow just enough interest to cover inflation, maybe a little more. I wouldn't be tempted to pull the money out early and I wouldn't have to worry about losing a penny.
