Charlotte HomeArama 08 | Giddyup!

August 20th, 2008 categories: Great Neighborhoods

 
I took a ride out to the Ranch at the Palisades Sunday afternoon ~ after reading up on this year’s Charlotte HomeArama I  wanted to see for myself how things are moving along with the new homes. All I can say is Wow! First of all I had not been in the Palisades in a while — that is one amazing piece of land and the development plans are some of the most exciting & ambitious in all of Charlotte. Having said that the Lake Wylie area is growing right along with it as this Lake Suburb hits its stride in the next few years there will be a lot of happy new homeowners withing  stones throw of Lake Wylie! In five years we’ll all be looking back saying I wish I had bought a house down there when it was reasonable!

The 2008 HomeArama homes are sure to impress ~ although they are a bit out of my league it will be fun and informative to see all the new features, bells and whistles ~ I am always smitten with the pools, waterfalls and outdoor firepits. One thing for sure is this will be an equestrian friendly neighborhood — finally! Kidding aside if you have a horse (and a couple million) this would be an awesome place to consider ~ the galloping trail as it is known is a idyllic ribbon of green grass winding through the woods not 50 yards from your back door ~ very cool, very English country!

Here are a few pictures of the homes in progress and the galloping trail. Shortly I will be writing more about the three featured builders Jordan James, Persis-Nova and Anderson Custom Homes. For now sit back and dream, imagine yourself going out for a brisk gallop before the dinner bell! And make sure you save the date for Charlotte HomeArama October 4 – October 6 2008 you won’t want to miss this one!
