A Tidbit of Thanksgiving Trivia

Glencoe
Historic Glencoe was built in 1841 by George Thomas Wallace, along the Dismal Swamp Canal in close proximity to the Northwest Canal Locks. Wallace’s property was located near the North Carolina border in the area generally known as Wallacetown. Tragically, Glencoe was consumed by fire in 1979 on Thanksgiving Day. Although it was rebuilt, it was never restored to it’s original grandeur. The house stood until only a few years ago.

Taylor Swift Update

Jonire — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 02:40:44 +0000

Culpepper Landing view of row homes

Today Trisha came by the lucky winner of the Taylor Swift tickets. She shared how wonderful the concert was. Best of all were the awesome seats… close to the stage! The most heart warming part of the story is that she had a friend that had waited in line to purchase tickets and after a long wait found out the concert was sold out. Imagine her friends joy when she found out she was getting to go. Stay posted we have some other really cool events coming soon!

There are several Row Homes available for delivery before the tax credit deadline. These homes are built by award winning builder ABT Custom Homes. We have some beautiful choices of cabinets and granite countertops for the kitchens. The courtyards are perfect for a cook out and a small garden plot! The detached two car garages are finished inside. While walking the homes last weekend with a couple it was great to see how others viewed them. The floor plans are awesome! The interior units have a built in desk with drawers. It’s a perfect computer space, pay bills or plan the weeks meals. Be sure and check out the virtual tour of the Nelson on the web site.

Check back soon….

Row Homes and Taylor Swift

Jonire — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:03:23 +0000

We are having a special promotion from March 1 through March 13, for the Row Homes at Culpepper Landing. Folks can come out to view the row homes and take a chance on winning a pair of tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in Charlottesville. Taylor Swift’s Charlottesville concert is sold out, its the hottest country concert of the year! America’s Country (106.1) will be on site March 13th 11am -1pm registering listeners to win the Taylor Swift concert tickets. Listeners can start registering March 1st and the winner will be announced at the remote. How exciting is that? So, you know, I got to thinking wouldn’t it be great for us to hold some concerts here for the residents on site! Maybe in the green space by the pool and club house. Well you never know.

For your listening and viewing pleasure check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq8QDbp_oiw Return to the Dismal Swamp. The video is good, though I don’t believe there are any crocs in the Dismal Swamp. Lots of birds though and soon they will be a plenty!

You’ll come visit us!

Drummond Inn and more neighbors!

Jonire — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:41:42 +0000

We’ve already moved three new families in since the first of the year. At the rate we are going our neighborhood should double in families in short order! Our builders and developers are bringing on some new floor plans and designs. We really have something for everyone. Doreen and I are having so much fun watching the neighborhood grow and we are as excited as the residents to see the progress with all the new homes going up. Soon the apartment buildings will be underway. This complex will be great for those who choose to rent. The apartments will have a club house and pool as well. The design is in keeping with the neighborhood and very pleasing to the eye.

I can hardly wait to see the Drummond Inn once it’s built with the marina for boats using the inter coastal waterway. Check out this video I found on You Tube.

Hope you enjoy!

Edgar Allen Poe, Dismal Swamp and a Neighborhood that’s anything but Dismal

Jonire — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:05:06 +0000

Just a few days ago, January 19, would have been Edgar Allen Poes’, 201st birthday. Born in Boston, MA, after the death of both of his parents, he moved with foster parents to Richmond, VA. Though he had a short life (dying at the age of 40), he left behind a legacy of writing. He is credited with starting the Detective / mystery writing genre. The poem he is most famous for The Raven, is said to have been penned after a visit to the Dismal Swamp. Along with Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe, he is one of the many writers to have been inspired by the mystery of the Dismal Swamp.

When it’s a bit foggy outside and at night with the gases coming out of the swamp causing mysterious light, it is easy to see the inspiration. Though the swamp be referred to as Dismal, not so this wonderful neighborhood bordered by the swamp and the inter coastal waterway.

I say that the neighborhood is anything but Dismal… based on the number of visitors coming in to check out our neighborhood. We will be adding two families to the neighborhood this coming week. The real estate market is down in many parts of the country, for Doreen and I it seems not so in our neck of the woods! One visitor this weekend pointed out the number of homes he saw being built and how reassuring that was.

It’s music to our ears to pull in and hear the hammers going. It is wonderful to see so much activity going on in the neighborhood. I watched today as one of the neighbors mowed his lawn while the children played on their bikes. Folks out walking their dogs and families out exploring the neighborhood, just as the vision of a traditional neighborhood development theme calls for. I smiled as I locked the model home at the end of the day.

We wrote another contract today for a family moving back to Chesapeake from a neighboring city. It’s a privilege to help bring folks home to Culpepper Landing.
