The Farm FAQs
How many homes are in The Farm?
The Farm is made up of 63 properties, and 17 of those are waterfront. That is a deliberately small number for the acreage involved, which is what keeps the open space and tree cover that the community was planned around. Ask which of the 17 waterfront parcels are currently available, since they turn over rarely.
What does Green Building Program certification mean here?
Homes at The Farm are built to Green Building Program standards, which set requirements for things like energy performance and site handling rather than being a purely cosmetic label. If you are comparing running costs against an older lake house, ask the listing agent for the specific certification documents on the home you are considering.
Does The Farm have lake access if the lot is not waterfront?
Yes. The Farm has a community boat ramp, so owners of the non-waterfront properties still have a way to get a boat on the water. Owners also have access to The Waterfront Country Club. Confirm what club access conveys with the property, since that can differ by parcel.
What was preserved when The Farm was planned?
The community was master planned around stormwater runoff management, open space use and tree preservation, rather than maximizing lot count. That is the trade being made here: fewer parcels and more retained woodland than a conventional subdivision of the same size would carry.
