Over 300 acres of natural beauty.
(Prepare yourself for love at first site.)
We call it Colvard Farms. You’ll call it your own private nature preserve.
With open fields, hardwood groves, pine forests and spectacular ponds, along with an abundant mix of wildlife, it has the look and feel of land you would expect to find only by traveling deep into the countryside.
Characteristic tree species include southern red oak, poplar, sweet gum and loblolly pine. The site is home to a number of wildlife species that are more typical to large tracts of piedmont forest, including red-shouldered hawks, great horned owls and eastern wild turkeys.
This land is a special place and we take its stewardship very seriously. Approximately one-third of the property will remain undeveloped as permanent open space. And because most of Colvard Farms is bounded by Jordan Lake and public recreation lands, preservation of this natural state is assured for future generations.
Colvard Farms. A neighborhood in which man and
nature can truly coexist.
Neighborhood design by nationally renowned land planner Randall Arendt
Open fields, hardwood groves, pine forests and spectacular ponds

What better place to build your future than one so firmly rooted in the past?
“There used to be an old stagecoach route adjoining the property. Nearby was an inn. The stage would sound a bugle and blast it one time for each passenger who was on the stage so the innkeeper would know how many people were coming to dinner. The old stagecoach bed is still there.” — Mr. Edward Booth, a nearby resident since 1928
Surrounded by the quiet solitude of Colvard Farms, you can close your eyes and almost hear that stagecoach bugle still sounding in the distance. It is signaling to you that this is no mere plot of earth, but rather a land as rich in historic tradition as it is in natural beauty.
Indeed, the property has provided comfort and sustenance to many generations of families. At one time a collection of working farms (hence, our choice of names), Colvard Farms is now a neighborhood where your family can cultivate its very own traditions.

(In life, as in any journey, getting there should be half the fun.
Are you looking for a place to build a home? Or, are you looking for a place to live? There is a difference. Our luxurious residences notwithstanding, Colvard Farms is definitely designed to fit into the latter category — a place where your family can live life to the fullest.
From swimming and tennis to picnic areas and playgrounds, Colvard Farms has amenities to satisfy those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. More than two miles of nature trails wind through our forests and fields and include a paved path for walking, running or biking. Fishing and bird watching are close at hand, and some of our cul-de-sacs surround neighborhood parks.
More recreational opportunities await you right outside the neighborhood. There’s boating and skiing on adjacent Jordan Lake and hiking in the surrounding public recreation lands. Nearby you’ll find the popular New Hope Point Eagle Roost site and the New Hope Audubon Wildlife Observation Area.

Conservation Design.
Finding the balance between man and nature.
Our goal for Colvard Farms was to create a residential development that was economically sound and environmentally friendly. How could we protect the land and natural resources and create a neighborhood of lasting value?
The answer to that question was found in a leading edge planning approach for subdivisions known as conservation design — blending the science of the soils, slopes and vegetation with the artistic skills of a master designer. We subsequently retained the services of Randall Arendt, one of the nation’s foremost practitioners of conservation design for subdivisions.
“I would characterize the layout that I prepared for Colvard Farms as a conservation design, which I also would describe as taking the basic concept forward in terms of protecting land and natural resources.” — Randall Arendt
Mr. Arendt’s design preserves approximately one-third of the total property in permanent open space. And every home site has been carefully planned to take full advantage of the surrounding forests and meadows. The result is a land-use plan that is truly unique among the Triangle’s luxury neighborhoods.
