Two Brand New, Affordable Villa Plans Completed at Brannon Oak Farm

Construction has been completed on two brand new, redesigned villa homes at The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm in Cumming. With pricing starting in the mid $200,000s, these new homes have even greater affordability.

Dogwood ranch villa townhome and the Cypress ranch villa townhome are designed for buyers who want maintenance-free living and a spacious backyard, but do not need the additional loft and bedroom suite of the original floor plans.

The original plans are master-on-main villa designs that include an upstairs loft and bedroom suite on the second level. The Orchards Group redesigned these plans into a one-story option after receiving feedback from potential buyers who wanted to save money and did not need the additional interior space. These new floor plans are a great alternative to the ranch condominiums that are at the same price point, but have more inside space and no backyard.

Since these homes are only one story, buyers will be able to save big! While these homes are one story, they will still have a permanent staircase that leads to a 180 square foot attic.

The Dogwood is a two bedroom and two bath home with a den priced in the mid $200,000s. The Cypress is a two bedroom and two bath home with a den and screened-in porch priced in the high $200,000s. Both homes are built on private, wooded lots with beautiful backyards. The homes offer The Orchards Group's first rate standard features such as 42-inch maple cabinets and marble countertops in the kitchen, hardwood flooring in the kitchens and foyers, coffered ceilings in the family room, two-car garages and more.

Brannon Oak Farm is a maintenance-free community with fabulous amenities including a Grand clubhouse, two cards and games rooms, reading den, fitness center, pool, outdoor veranda, arbor, grill area, firepit and more.

These homes are now ready for inspection. For more information, call 678-513-8879 or visit www.orchardsgroup.com.

Homeowner at The Orchards of East Cherokee Gets Crafty

Joan and Rex Ireland moved from sunny California to The Orchards of East Cherokee in Woodstock to be closer to their daughter, but they got much more than just a new home.

Choosing The Orchards of East Cherokee, an active adult and maintenance free community built by The Orchards Group, was a no-brainer for the couple because they liked the location, peaceful country like setting and the community. It was the perfect place for the couple to settle in to their new life in Metro Atlanta. The community is close to all of the activities that the rejuvenated downtown Woodstock, Roswell and Alpharetta have to offer. Plus, it is close to a good selection of golf courses, which appealed to Rex.

The couple’s new home is two stories with the owner’s suite on the main level. “We love the spaciousness and natural light it provides,” explained Joan. “It is a larger home than we anticipated owning here in Atlanta, but we love being able to spread out and enjoy our new formal living and dining rooms.”

Joan and Rex also enjoy participating in the communities’ events such as the T.G.I. Fridays and meet and greet parties. Joan has even formed her own community, a craft group. The group gathers at the clubhouse once a month for now, but they are looking into meeting twice a month as participation grows. The craft group allows participants to bring a project they are working on such as cross-stitching, quilting, crocheting, knitting, painting and more. If participants want, Joan will also give them a knitting lesson during this time. activity

Living in the country has added a few new experiences to the couple’s life, such as the cows mooing in the morning, but they are settling into their new home nicely. They are very happy in their home and expect to live there for years to come.
