In early November, Atlanta-based real estate developer Macauley closed on its first Fayette County property.

Located just south of Ga. Highway 54, between Peachtree City and Fayetteville, the 600-acre site features two pristine lakes, gently rolling hills and hardwood forests. Like many of Macauley’s previous developments, the new master-planned community will feature an extensive amount of green space and unique amenities, this time with one-acre home sites.

Using a creative approach to community development, Macauley is planning fewer than 400 homes for this community. More than 100 acres will be devoted to open space, including two lakes, pine forests and the protection of two historical sites.

“With this acquisition, we’ve been given a tremendous opportunity to create a wonderful sense of community by combining beautiful lakes and charming architecture on tree-lined streets with stunning natural preserves,” said Stephen Macauley, president of Macauley. ”With a true appreciation for the land, we plan to incorporate all of the beauty of this one-of-a-kind place to create an exclusive lakeside community for residents of Fayette County.”

Homes in the community will be priced from the $400s to over $800,000. Additionally, retail home sites will be available for sale to individuals. When complete, the community will feature exciting amenities, including The Lake Club, which will feature a Children’s Play Park, Family Fun Pool, all-sports court and four tennis courts. There also will be a Great Lawn for special events and games, a community cutting garden and a boat dock with gazebos.

The community is conveniently located within walking distance of the planned $25 million YMCA and is near Fayette Pavilion Shopping Center and Piedmont Fayette Hospital. The community also is served by excellent schools, and is within walking distance of Cleveland Elementary and a new middle school scheduled to open in the fall of 2006.

Announcements on additional development plans will be made in early 2006. For more information about this community’s progress or about the company’s other communities, visit www.macauleycompanies.com.
