Wild River Farm


I woke up bright and early today and spent the morning exploring 200 acres of land in Chatham county that we'll be developing as one of our next major projects. After hiking the land this morning with my dog Yurka I'm even more excited about this project... We're planning a unique community that will preserve the farm and make it an amazing place to live, work, and play. The project will consist of farms, trails, and access to the adjacent Haw River and Jordan Lake. I can envision a variety of people loving this project, due to the expansive views of the land, the daily enjoyment of the farms & the water... It will be an a special place to grow up, raise kids, or retire. From the collage of photos below you'll see the morning mist on the farm, the Haw River (moving at a very good pace), an old cabin on the property, soybeans & corn in their early stages, and the pine forest that marks access to hundreds of acres of government-preserved land adjacent to the property, and an amazing oak tree next to the river.

Hello - Wild River Farm looks very interesting. Are you familiar with the "New Ruralism" movement? St Joe is doing a couple of these new ruralism projects in Florida and the academics at Berkeley (https://www.sagecenter.org/projects2.htm#NewRuralism) are also on board - they had their first new ruralism conference this spring. White Fence Farms is a sort of contrived example of a new ruralism project: https://www.joe.com/web/TownsAndHomes/WhiteFenceFarms/.
