Ryland Homes, OVER 3800 SF New Homes for Under $400K at the Palisades!
By now, just about everyone in Charlotte knows The Palisades, the country club with resort style amenities on Lake Wylie, just 25 miles from Uptown Charlotte. There is a natural beauty in the 1600 acres of rolling hills, tall trees and their visible commitment to Audobon International’s Green Community designs…
But it is the amenities most folks remember the best- and what amenities! Miles and miles of paved biking trails, walking trails and unpaved horse trails… then there is the Tim Wilkinson Sports Center- a fitness center plus 7 Tennis courts, plus the only grass court in Charlotte, home to the Jim Courier Tennis tour (see below) Plus a resort style pool, a Nicklaus designed championship golf course, soccer
fields of Charlotte United Futbol, an on site private school and an on-site public elementary coming in 2010. Site of Homerama ‘08 (see below),it made my Top Ten New Home Community List in 2007. In time it is the next Ballantyne, developed greener in a more natural setting, and made more affordable by the variety of neighborhoods. For more information find out why I named the Palisades to Terry’s Top Ten Communities in 2007, or when it was announced they’d sold the most homes in Southwest Charlotte in 2007.
I’ve a client from Minneapolis with 2 children, the husband has accepted a territory in the Carolinas, and his company would like him
to live in Charlotte. His wife found me on the Internet- where else? And they called last weekend. We took one day and did a rapid survey of South Charlotte and Union County, they liked much of what they saw, but we had talked about the Palisades, and their desire for an “outdoor” lifestyle-after all its one of the reasons they want to move to Charlotte: their family loves to walk, hike and explore- loves golf, they own a boat and two kayaks–with that in mind I told them they had to consider the Palisades in southwest Charlotte.
And off we went to the Palisades and they fell in love almost immediately. Ryland, had several floor plans of interest but the one they liked the most- the Rossendale, isavailable with a 3rd floor bonus - they want that as an office for her husband, and they loved the big bonus on the 2nd floor, large master and very comfortable greatroom-eat-in kitchen- kitchen area. We were helped by an extremely knoweledgeable on site (builder) agent, and shown a few lots, some were quite “buyable.”
The Ryland Rossendale (house) on above, with first floor hardwoods, a third floor, stainless and granite in the kitchen, with the $25000 free option promotion keeps the price around $390,000- including paying your $13K initiation fee for a social membership at the Palisades Country Club.
Ryland sold 7 homes in 7 days in early August… No wonder, the natural beauty, the amenities, and homes with a lot of square feet for the money. We visited Ryan at Briar Cliff and they offer another excellent choice of new homes from 380K-550K. I’ll write about what they offer at in a future post, on Palisades Homes for Under $400,000.
