Our art tour last Sunday turned out to be as much about real estate as art. We visited the art studios in Fearrington village and then took the next street past Fearrington, Mt Gilead Church Rd. This area of Chatham near HWY 64 is turning out to be the priciest area for new developments.
Be careful around construction
Sunday is the best day to visit construction sites because it's not nearly as dangerous. You still need to be very careful driving on roads under construction. It's very easy to run over a rock or a manhole cover sticking up and tear out the bottom of your car. I have found that AAA doesn't cover construction sites.
We have been watching the development of The Hamptons and took a better look Sunday. Windjam is developing 89 lots on 183 acres with lot sizes between 1 and 6 acres. The lot prices are in the two and three hundred thousand range. With those lot prices I would expect the homes to be priced at $1,000,000 and up. The first phase is just finishing up with a very attractive entry being completed now. The lots are very pretty with some mature trees and pasture. The home sites have wonderful vista views. If you prefer a more wooded lot phase two and three will be for you. The roads are just being cut in so it will be a while before the lots are on the market. We drove in the new phase and were impressed with the view from high on the ridge. 
Windjam has specific archetectural gidelines for the homes. I especially like the design required for the drive entry for each home site.
Next we went a little way down Mt. Gilead and turned on Bynum Ridge. New lots in Baldwin Peak just came on the market and I wanted to see what you would get for the $600,000 and up lot price. It's advertised as an exclusive gated 10 acre estate lot community. I've heard that some the areas best homebuilders will be building in the neighborhood. There isn't much to see yet. I'll have more on the builders and plans as the information comes available.
If you are interested in a new home in the Triangle give me a call 919-274-4365 or email me Marianne@Howright.com. I'll fill you in with all of the inside information.
