Each single family detached home will be quality built to each buyer’s specifications with 2×6 exterior walls and tested for a HERS® Score.

Choose between multiple floorplans ranging from 2200 square feet to over 4,000 square feet. The Chesapeake will offer a first floor owner’s suite while the Rivanna, Stockton, and Mechum feature the owner’s suite on the upper level.
