The slower pace of life in Central North Carolina, is reminiscent of a time when friendship, a sense of neighborhood and community were commonplace in America.  Come and enjoy this peaceful environment as a pleasant change from the fast-paced, stressful lives we often lead.

Close to metropolitan areas:  All of our developments have an easy and accessible commute of about 45 minutes to Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Greensboro.  Hwy. 64 towards Raleigh and Chapel Hill is a scenic four-lane road with very little traffic; Hwy. 421 is a similar four-lane road leading to Greensboro.

Excellent investment:  Price of land and construction costs are significantly lower here than in Wake, Guilford and Durham counties.  With the expansion of Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Greensboro markets, land values will continue to increase in Chatham and Randolph Counties making property here an excellent investment.

Small town feel:  The friendly communities in and around our developments have that small town experience of long ago.  Newcomers immediately feel welcome.

Strong alternative farming and building methods:  Students come from all over the United States to Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) to participate in the Sustainable Farming program, which is dedicated to the development of environmentally sound farming enterprises. CCCC is now starting a similar program in Sustainable Building and Development.  Harvey Harman teaches in both programs.

Central North Carolina is home to a great diversity of small farm enterprises - goat dairies, certified organic and sustainable production farms, landscape nurseries and equestrian facilities.

Places to visit in the heart of North Carolina:  Two hundred miles of scenic bicycle trails cover lightly traveled country roads.  Jordan Lake's 15,000 acres include 150 miles of shoreline, boating facilities, nature trails and picnic areas.

Farmer's Markets operate most of the year in Pittsboro, Carrboro and Fearrington Village, whose country inn carries a AAA Five Star Diamond award for dining and lodging.  Weaver Street Cooperative in Carrboro is a natural foods market and café.

Cultural Diversity:  The area has a wide diversity of cultures which our communities celebrate and welcome.

Siler City Arts Incubator:  Developed with the assistance of the CCCC Small Business Center, this unique and historic town is rapidly being transformed into a creative center.Several beautiful turn-of-the-century (last century that is!) buildings are being lovingly restored to house the arts incubator project. Artists from around the country are moving to Siler City - potters, painters, world-class guitar maker, cabinet makers/wood turners; jewelers, weavers and basket makers are some of the featured artisans. 

The original hardware store from 1906 and the livery stables have already been converted into delightful pottery and sculpture studios for local and nationally known artists.  With over 20 turning wheels, classrooms and a conference center, multiple kilns and retail sales outlets in place, this is rapidly becoming the largest pottery center in the state.  Other historic buildings are being restored for artist studios, a restaurant and a theatre.
