Gerald and Lilly are building a brand new home in the Richmond neighborhood in Fearrington Village. They shared a bit of their story, how they chose Fearrington Village as their new home.

From the mountains of Cashiers NC to Fearrington Village in central NC, we traded in the black bears for deer! Our son who lives nearby in Chapel Hill kept telling us about this great place where he visited McIntyre’s books often. In perusing the website we thought the community offered so much while bringing us closer to our son and grandchildren. We did a virtual tour of a couple of home sites and fell in love. We were also impressed with the great medical care so close by in Chapel Hill and Durham. The Richmond neighborhood offered flexibility in custom building and had a large home site that reminded us of the nature we were leaving behind. We purchased the site and began the process of designing our home. We often walk our two dogs and what has quickly become our favorite part of Fearrington Village is the friendly people. Every time I walk or drive through the village, people wave and say “hello,” and I find myself singing (to myself) Randy Newman’s song, “Dayton Ohio – 1903”.
