Short Photo Tour Of Chatham County

Back in the summer I was out and about in Chatham and had the chance to take a few photos at Jordan Lake, The Preserve, Fearrington, and Pittsboro.  It was a beautiful day and the pictures really do tell the story of how beautiful it is here in this rural part of the Triangle.

Here’s the boat ramp at the end of N. Pea Ridge Road at Jordan Lake.  One of the largest bodies of water in the area, Jordan lake is a major recreation point, offering fishing, sailing, swimming, wakeboarding, windsurfing and all types of water sports.  Although you cannot buy land in Chatham County on Jordan Lake to build on, many communities offer an “as close to the lake as possible” experience.

The Haw River flows into Jordan Lake from the North.  Here the Haw River runs beneath the Highway 64 bridge between Jordan Lake and Pittsboro.  Another great recreation area, both finishing and canoeing or kayaking are very popular on the Haw River.  There are areas you can buy land in Chatham County that are on one of the many rivers or streams running throughout the County.  Many people come from Chapel Hill, Apex, Cary, and Raleigh to enjoy the many areas of Chatham and to buy land or homes in the Pittsboro or Chatham area on or near the many water features.

The Preserve at Jordan Lake offers many homes and home sites lining this Bluegreen Golf Community.  One of two Bluegreen Golf Communities in the Chatham County area (the other is Chapel Ridge on Highway 87), The Preserve features a Davis Love course and rolling terrain.  Convenient to Chapel Hill, Apex, Cary, and Raleigh, many property owners enjoy the rural Triangle living and conveniences of shopping at Southpoint Mall or other area shopping centers and working in the Research Triangle Park.

This view of the rolling countryside was taken just off Highway 64 in Pittsboro, between Pittsboro, Jordan Lake, and the Cary and Apex areas.  Buying land or a home in Chatham County is still relatively less expensive than many other areas of the Triangle.  Relatively low taxes and a low cost of living bring people looking to buy land or homes in Chatham from all over the Country.

Downtown Pittsboro, with its quaint shops and restaurants, offers that small town rural character with the modern conveniences of Chapel Hill, Apex, Cary, and Raleigh just up the street.  You can mingle with Roy, the host of the “Woodwright’s Shop” TV show in his shop and school on main street or take in ice cream at the Soda Shoppe.  When buying land or a home in Chatham County, we always recommend you spend time in downtown Pittsboro.

Located between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill sits Fearrington Village.  Boasting one of a very few 5 star restaurants in the Southeast, The Fearrington House offers world class accommodations and eating along with specialty shopping, bookstores, and other restaurants.  We always send our visitors looking to buy property in Chatham County or Chapel Hill to stay at the Fearrington House at Fearrington Village.
