Limited to just 11 estate homesites, it's designed for buyers who want the privacy and acreage of a country estate without giving up easy access to downtown Raleigh and Cary.

Wellington Reserve offers a rare opportunity to build a fully custom estate home, with three approved builders on-site: Rufty Homes, Bost Custom Homes, and Raleigh Custom Homes. Homes here typically feature:

Residents are close to grocery stores, restaurants, and retailers in nearby Cary, while still enjoying quick access to downtown Raleigh's museums, dining, and employment centers, as well as RDU and the Triangle's technology corridor. The neighboring equestrian center and surrounding farmland give the community a distinctly pastoral character that's increasingly hard to find this close to the city.
