Looking for a Home on a Half Acre in Cary?
There's a unique opportunity in Cary in the Windsor Oaks neighborhood. Few are familiar with cluster or conservation developments. These are neighborhoods where property lots are intentionally designed to be smaller, and a large allocation of land, oftentimes in front and behind each lot, is reserved for common open space. This arrangement helps preserve the natural look and feel of a neighborhood while reducing the initial purchase price (due to the smaller plot of land). Land contributes an average of 20% to the overall price of a home. Today we are hosting an Open House from 2-4PM at 9712 Astor Court. If you know someone looking for a half-acre lot in Cary, a rarity in the more affordable price ranges, encourage them to check out this cluster home development with up to 70% of common area in the neighborhood. The home itself is no different than other stick-built homes. The difference is only in the treatment of the land. Based on land square footage, it lives very differently than a conventionally-designed neighborhood due to the generous portion of land surrounding it.
While the official lot size on this property is 0.26 acres, the effective feel of the property is more like half an acre due to the design of the neighborhood. See the attached plot showing the actual lot lines and the projected lot size if you were to extend the side lines to the front and rear. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a higher quality of life at a lower price point.
This post is intended to inform and educate on the practice of cluster home developments and the benefits of buying in such a neighborhood.
