To drive into The Manor Golf and Country Club is an impressive thing: gated entry, massive homes, stately architecture. But what is even more impressive is the $64 MILLION worth of real estate that has been sold in The Manor in the last 12 month.
In a market where you can’t turn around without bumping into an $800,000 home, real estate in The Manor is jumping off the curb.
The front nine of the Tom Watson golf course is now open for play and the new golf pro is David Wilding, formerly from Harbor Town in Hilton Head.
The Manor has turned out to be quite a success by real estate standards considering that it has such a rocky history and was so feverishly contested by the local community. At issue back then was the development of a private sewage treatment plant inside the development and that it would be a precident for other private sewage setups and ultimately higher density in North Fulton.
So far, that hasn’t happened. And I hear the Forsyth County is eyeing the treatment plant as a place they can send sewage. That would actually be good for The Manor because apparently the state of the art treatment plant really doesn’t run well unless it has a decent demand on it.
The mid term report card is in on The Manor and it is good so far. Predictions are for sales to remain strong. I’m still waiting for my invite to try the golf course; hopefully it is as good as the real estate.
