The MacNairs have developed some of the Triangle area’s most sought after luxury neighborhoods with an unmatched reputation for combining unique land designs with quality custom built homes in prominent locations across the Triangle Area.
Upon touring these communities, you will notice consistent themes – grand entrances with lush landscaping, winding streets that follow the natural contours of the land, truly custom homes, attention to detail, and quality.
“Each property is unique and has its own character. Rather than reshaping the earth, we do our best to fit our design to the land upon which it is being built – a plan that enhances the lands’ inherent beauty and natural qualities. This approach requires more foresight for product design, builder requirements and the end buyer while including the environmental sensitives of the land.” – Henry MacNair and Will MacNair
