Stanton Homes works hard to protect the beautiful land and environment in gorgeous Chatham County.
Our green building practices help protect the land during construction, and enable homeowners to reduce energy and water consumption on a daily basis.
Less energy consumed means lower carbon emissions, and more effective management of natural resources.
The Horizon community offers beautiful level or rolling acre plus lots just one mile off 15/501, only five minutes from shopping. Only 26 lots remain in Phase One.
Horizon is only about 10 minutes from Jordan Lake, and 5 minutes from the Haw River.
