Forsyth County Active Adult Homes Almost Sold Out

If you take a drive through The Orchards Group's Brannon Oak Farms community, chances are you'll notice plenty of happy active adult homeowners out enjoying the beautiful weather and amenities. In fact, this Forsyth County community has seen a record number of homes sold so far this year; so much so that the community is almost sold out.

With 15 homes sold in the past eight weeks and 40 new home sales total in 2013, The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farms won't have "for sale" signs for much longer. Deborah Reahm, remarked sales associate for the builder claims that sales have been increasingly rapidly due to the almost sold out status. “Urgency compels people to buy. As we run out of incredible product, the urgency does nothing but increase. We will definitely be sold out before December."

“Due to this incredible surge in sales, we find ourselves having to quote delivery dates well into late winter or early spring of 2014,” said Mitch Block, director of sales and marketing for The Orchards Group. “It’s a great chance for folks to buy their new home and have at least a month or two to make their decorating selections.”

Currently, only 14 master-on-the-main townhome villas, six ranch condominium homes and just one single-family home priced from the $270,000s to $350,000s remain.

The largest and most unique of all of The Orchards Group's communities, Brannon Oak Farm offers an unparalleled amenities package with a grand clubhouse, swimming pool, barbecue grilling area, community lawn and fire pit.

The Orchards Group Proudly Introduces The Hawthorne

The simplified life is really closer than you think with The Orchards Group. As part of their work to make the home building and buying experience easy and affordable for active adults, The Orchards Group has introduced the Hawthorne plan at its East Cherokee and Brannon Oak Farm communities.

Priced from the mid to upper $200’s, the new Hawthorne plan is a downsized version of the popular Haverford single family detached home plan. In the plan, the builder has eliminated the Haverford's large formal dining room, which reduces the plan's size and price by as much as $25,000. The design transforms the spacious breakfast room into an informal dining room. 

“We were comfortable with this design variation because many of our Haverford owners have actually used the breakfast room as their dining room, it’s that large," said Craig Smith, on site sales counselor.

In addition, homeowners will enjoy the change that moves the fireplace in the living room from the corner to a more traditional end of room wall setting. This new placement has allowed the builder to add optional built-in bookshelves flanking the fireplace. However, residents can still enjoy many perks of the old Haverford plan because the Hawthorne plan retains its two bedrooms plus den, two bathrooms, large gourmet kitchen, 10 foot ceilings and grand foyer.

The Hawthorne is currently being built on homesite 16 at TheOrchards of Brannon Oak Farm  in Cumming, and will be complete by the end of August. Additionally, TheOrchards of East Cherokee in Woodstock will have a completed Hawthorne home with optional screened-in porch on homesite 139 by the end of September. Active adult buyers will love the maintenance-free living, amazing amenities and beautiful locations of both communities!
