Development making progress
While various developers plow ahead with plans to build gated communities in Fayette County, G.A. Carlson and Co. already has some finished product to display.Glenn Carlson's The Ledges is a gated, eco-friendly community under way on about 50 acres off Belmont Road outside Fayetteville. Carlson's project, which has been ongoing for about two years, already boasts some finished and lived-in homes, and others could be ready soon, he says."We've taken it slow and small," said Carlson. On a recent tour, Carlson and Steve Clark of New River Real Estate discussed the amenities of the development, which is on a smaller scale than three other developments planned in the county and will feature custom homes or condominium-style structures. The duo touts that the houses are free of exterior maintenance and are being built to leave minimal impact on the area's natural surroundings.More importantly, all zoning and utilities — including state-of-the-art waste treatment capable of discharging potable water — are in place, and lots are immediately available to build.
