Looking for a home on land of your own in the Raleigh area?

Have you seen Cattail Creek?

Beautiful custom homes on heavily wooded acreage are available at Cattail Creek, in the gorgeous Silk Hope area of Chatham County. And with homes in the $250s-$350s, you'll want to check out these incredible values.

Here are some examples of the kinds of extraordinary craftsmanship you'll find inside a Stanton Home at Cattail Creek:

Signature Radius and Elliptical Archways

Our signature radius and elliptical archways are hard to find details that make an ordinary room unique. Stanton Homes also offers rounded corners, another elusive detail that can add to the luxurious feel of a home.

Note also the extensive two-piece crown moulding and oversized baseboards, as well as the built-in display area in the foyer.

Unique Trey Ceilings

Stanton Homes offers dozens of designs to accent ceilings throughout the home.

We include a trey ceiling in the Formal Dining Room as well as the Master Bedroom.

Or work with us - we'll create something just for you!

Barrel Vault Entrances

Once you see a barrel vault entrance by Stanton Homes, you won't be able to look at an ordinary foyer in the same way.

Stanton Homes creates unique architectural details like barrel vault entrances and hallways, and we trim them out nicely with plant shelves, built-ins, extensive moulding, and more.

Luxurious Master Baths by Stanton Homes

We believe master baths should be a relaxing retreat, a place to start or end your day in style. This is just one example of a vaulted master bath. In all our master suites you'll find:

• Custom tile floor
• Custom tile shower with glass enclosure
• Soaking tub with custom tile surround
• Brushed nickel fixtures and lighting

And not only that - a view of your own trees and acreage out one of our stylish picture windows!

Wooded Acreage - Lots of Space, and It's All Yours!

Cattail Creek offers gorgeous wooded homesites. We can work with you to set your home as far back as you'd like it, and some lots are even more private.

Everything You Need to Know About Relocating to Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Pittsboro or Jordan Lake!

Chatham County has the best of all worlds. It's peaceful countryside - but just minutes from shopping and big city life. North Carolina has over 1500 lakes, and Chatham County surrounds one of the largest of these: Jordan Lake. There are golf courses, wineries, and the Haw River.

Chatham County is becoming "home" for people who want access to the careers, nightlife, culture, and education that the Triangle has to offer, but want to start their days at a little slower pace, on patios and decks, enjoying views of starry skies, brilliant sunrises, leafy woods, and green meadows.
