Houses must have at least 2,800 heated square feet, be built on a crawl space, and cannot be mobile, modular, or manufactured homes. Construction must start within 12 months of lot purchase and finish within 12 months of starting.
• Architectural & landscape review: All building designs, site plans, and landscaping must be approved by an Architectural Control Committee. Exterior colors cannot be changed without written permission. A $2,000 deposit is required for construction to cover trash cleanup and road repairs.
