Brickshire : New Kent
This community is located about halfway between Richmond and Williamsburg (maybe slightly closer to Richmond). Currently, you will find a wide selection of home prices and styles and lots of inventory to choose from. Prices start in the Mid $300's and range to $900k In many cases, you will find higher quality homes at lower prices than anywhere else around Richmond. If you are looking for a new home in the Richmond area, a visit to Brickshire is definitely worth your time.
As the lot prices escalated in Williamsburg and Richmond, many of the builders purchased lots in Brickshire. As a result, the community offers a large selection of builder spec homes and some very good home values. There are also some very good deals on lots… particularly golf course lots. Call or e-mail me for all of the details!
Ryan Homes has two new neighborhoods of homes currently underway near the entrance to the Brickshire community. One neighborhood has townhomes, starting in the low $200k and the other has golf villas. The price points here are excellent.
Brickshire is definitely the best value of Williamsburg's golf communities.
Golfers... the course at Brickshire was designed by Curtis Strange. Check it out here! Royal New Kent is right next door to give you another golfing option. Check out the Tradition Golf website for more information. A Tradition membership gives you playing privileges at Stonehouse, Kiskiak, and The Crossings (in Richmond) in addition to Royal New Kent.

Colonial Heritage
Colonial Heritage is a new, 55+ community being developed by Lennar Homes. The golf course was designed by Arthur Hills, and it is now open. The course is very interesting... extremely varied terrain... great challenge... and very scenic. This community has developed rapidly and probably about 25% of the homes are now complete. Initially, the developer had been raising the prices every 4-5 weeks, but sales have slowed down a bit now, and the price increases have slowed down as well. In fact, there are now some very good deals in Colonial Heritage.
Both attached and detached home models are available. All residents are members of the Country Club, and the membership fees are included in the monthly HOA fee (currently about $200, I believe). This gives all residents access to all of the club amenities and to golf on a fee/play basis. If you play often, you can pay extra for a golf membership that will include all green fees.
The developer is still building to order but does have some inventory homes available. Please let me know if you would like a list of these. Since the community is so new, there is not much activity yet on the re-sale market. There are few re-sale homes, but, the best deals now can be negotiated with the developer. Allow me to help you with this!
Colonial Heritage is an amenity filled age-restricted Active Adult Community featuring an Arthur Hills signature designed golf course, a 25,000 square foot Clubhouse complete with ballroom, fine and casual dining, card and billiard rooms, library, woodworking shops, arts and crafts and Athletic Club conveniently located near commuter routes, shopping and entertainment! Our beautiful gated community will offer both single family and villa style homes. Single family homes offer nine floor plans ranging in size from approximately 1900 to 3000 square feet with first floor owner's suites and 2-car garages. Pricing ranges from the $300's to the $500's. Villa-style homes offer six floor plans ranging in size from approximately 2200 sq. ft. to 3000 sq. ft. with first floor owner's suites and one or two car garages. Pricing starts in the upper $200's to the upper $300's, and sound like what you are looking for.
All homes offer all upgrades as standard, granite countertops, hardwood flooring, stainless appliances and many other features are included at no additional charge!
There are several furnished models at Colonial Heritage available for viewing.I would be happy to show you around and answer any additional questions you may have.
You’ll enjoy the mild four-season climate and the comfortable pace of small town living enhanced with a wealth of recreational, educational and cultural opportunities. Ideally located just minutes from the historic charm and beauty of Colonial Williamsburg, this gated community is close to the College Of William & Mary as well as great shopping and excellent healthcare facilities. Fantastic restaurants, an international airport, two broad rivers for boating and fishing, plus the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay are all conveniently nearby.

Greensprings Plantation Greensprings West
Both of these neighborhoods share the same golf facility, Williamsburg National. Greensprings Plantation has been complete for several years, and Greensprings West is still under construction. The developer opened the second golf course at Williamsburg National in 2007.
The golf club is open to the public but memberships are available, and Greensprings residents do get a discounted membership rate. In my view, the strength of the course is the condition of the greens. They are true and they always roll nicely. The general maintenance of the rest of the course is at a slightly lower level than Ford’s Colony and Governor’s Land. The golf clubhouse is not a “full-service” clubhouse. Lunch is served lunch daily, the bar is open daily, but dinner is not usually served. The dining area is very small. You will find membership info here for- Williamsburg National Golf Club
Most of the homes on the market in Greensprings West are new.
The homes in Greensprings Plantation are a bit older, but most are in excellent shape. In general, the lots are a bit nicer in the Greensprings Plantation section.
Until recently, the Greensprings developer sold lots only to the builders and not directly to the public. If you saw a lot you want, then you had to work with the builder who owned that lot. Most of the builders build custom homes, but they do not typically wait for a custom deal to begin construction. Now, the developer is selling lots directly to the public, and there are even some lots listed for sale on the re-sale market.

Stonehouse is one of the newer recreational communities in the Williamsburg area. The community is located about 20 minutes west of Williamsburg off exit 227 of I-64. The terrain here is very hilly... almost mountainous in some areas. The golf course is definitely not easy to walk! The homes vary widely in size and price. Prices in Stonehouse rage from $325K to over a million.
Golfers... you will find that Stonehouse has one of the best golf values in the area! A membership includes playing privileges at 4 wonderful nearby golf courses. ( Royal New Kent, Kiskiack, The Crossings & Stonehouse ) Check out the Tradition Golf website for more information.
You will find that there is something for everyone in Stonehouse. If you are interested in building a custom home, we are happy to assist you in choosing a lot and in finding the right builder. Ask us about our favorite builders!
updates March 2007 To search all homes currently for sale in Stonehouse click here:Search Homes for sale in Stonehouse The new owner/developer (GS Carolina ) of the large parcels surrounding Stonehouse made a presentation describing the proposed construction and zoning changes. Basically, they have taken 80 parcels that they refer to as "Land Bays" and divided them into 12 tracts and 4 neighborhoods. Neighborhood 1 will have traditional style single family custom homes similar to those found in the original neighborhood. Neighborhood 2 will have higher density homes (townhomes and something called "narrow single family" which I think must be similar to "zero lot line"). Neighborhood 3 will have lower density "estate" homes. Neighborhood 4 extends to the river. There are some cliff areas that will be river view condos. There will also be single family homes, open space and recreational space and a marina.
They are planning a community similar to their large community in Cary, North Carolina called Amberly The Stonehouse project has a 15-20 year estimated completion timeframe.
The zoning changes will NOT increase the total number of residential units. Some of the property previously zoned as commercial will become residential. A large parcel (170 acres) is being proposed as an education site for a new elementary school and middle school. Total residential units will be approximately 4400, and that will become the largest community in our area.
This developer is NOT a builder. They will put the infrastructure together and then sell off the lots in phases to builders. The two Stonehouse Glen sections (where Ryan homes is located) is not associated with this developer.
Last November, a company called GS Stonehouse Green Land Sub LLC paid more than $76 million to finish developing the Stonehouse area.
Stonehouse was planned in 1999 as a community of about 4,400 homes to go along with more than 3.3 million square feet of commercial and office uses. Since then, 700 or so homes have been built at the site, off Route 30 near the New Kent County line.
Stonehouse Green Land will aim to build the rest.
Stonehouse Green Land's new plans won't add any residences, but the space for commercial, office and industrial uses will be reduced, according to a letter sent to residents earlier this month from the developers' engineering firm, Chas. H. Sells Inc.
But the new plans will propose changes to the location of homes, the types of recreational facilities and the mix of commercial uses permitted, according to the letter, signed by Beth Lewis, Chas. H. Sells' director of zoning and entitlement.
Developers submitted for administrative review to county planners a conceptual proposal for a pocket of single-family units on March 9.
The conceptual plans are general ones without using numbers to minimize both the county's and the developers' workload whenever the formal site plan comes in.
Planning commissioners do not formally see conceptual plans. There is no timeline for the county staff review.
When Stonehouse Green Land officials were buying the land, they met with Stonehouse Supervisor Andy Bradshaw, telling him they wanted to consolidate all the smaller pieces of the development, he said. Over the years, developers had divided the community, which made it hard for the county to effectively plan it, Bradshaw said.
"I'm pretty excited to see what they might do," Bradshaw said, referring to an information meeting the engineering firm has scheduled for residents next week.
Bradshaw said he hoped plans would exploit the economic potential of the intersection of Interstate 64 with Route 30 and would also bring together the larger Stonehouse district.
Part of that optimism comes from long-held Stonehouse development plans to build at least one school at the site, as well as public fields for soccer and baseball. Since Stonehouse was first contemplated about two decades ago, the hope was to place a school there, Bradshaw said.
Lewis' letter said the new plan might include both elementary and middle schools.
Bradshaw said a recent population burst, especially in the county's northern area, increases the need for a new school.

Historical background
Williamsburg was the thriving capital of Virginia when the dream of American freedom and independence was taking shape and the colony was a rich and powerful land stretching west to the Mississippi River and north to the Great Lakes. For 81 formative years, from 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was the political, cultural, and educational center of what was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the American colonies. It was here that the fundamental concepts of our republic — responsible leadership, a sense of public service, self-government, and individual liberty — were nurtured under the leadership of patriots such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and Peyton Randolph.
Near the end of the Revolutionary War and through the influence of Thomas Jefferson, the seat of government of Virginia was moved up the peninsula to the safer and more centrally located city of Richmond. For nearly a century and a half afterward, Williamsburg was a simple, quiet college town, home of the College of William and Mary.
Restoration begins
In 1926, the Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish Church, shared his dream of preserving the city's historic buildings with philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr., and the restoration began.
Dr. Goodwin feared that scores of structures that had figured in the life of the colony and the founding of the nation would soon disappear forever. Rockefeller and Goodwin began a modest project to preserve a few of the more important buildings. Eventually, the work progressed and expanded to include a major portion of the colonial town, encompassing approximately 85 percent of the 18th-century capital's original area.
Mr. Rockefeller gave the project his personal leadership until his death in 1960, and it was his quiet generosity of spirit and uncompromising ethic of excellence that guided and still dominates its development. He funded the preservation of more than 80 of the original structures, the reconstruction of many buildings, and also the construction of extensive facilities to accommodate the visiting public.
In the preservation of the setting of Virginia’s 18th-century capital, Mr. Rockefeller and Dr. Goodwin saw an opportunity to ensure that the courageous ideals of the patriots who helped create the American democratic system live on for future generations.

Virginia's shores, mountains, mineral springs, natural wonders, and numerous historic sites draw millions of visitors annually. Crowning the hilltops and river bluffs from the Chesapeake region west to the Blue Ridge and adding to the grace and elegance of the Virginia landscape are the classic Greek revival homes and public buildings with their stately porticoes. Major tourist attractions include Shenandoah National Park ; Colonial Williamsburg; and Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial. Other historic points of interest include Appomattox Court House National Historical Park; Manassas and Richmond national battlefield parks; Booker T. Washington and George Washington Birthplace national monuments; Colonial National Historical Park and Jamestown National Historic Site, both on Jamestown Island; and several national cemeteries and battlefields
Virginia has an economy that is highly diversified. Agriculture, once its mainstay, now follows other sectors in employment and income generation. Tobacco, Virginia's traditional staple, is still the leading crop, and grains, corn, soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, cotton, and apples (especially in the Shenandoah Valley) are all important. Wine production is also important; but the major sources of agricultural income are now poultry, dairy goods, and cattle, raised especially in the Valley of Virginia. The coastal fisheries are large, bringing in especially shellfishlargely oysters and crabs.
Coal is Virginia's chief mineral; stone, cement, sand, and gravel are also important. Roanoke is a center for the rail transport equipment industry, and a high proportion of the nation's shipyards are concentrated at Hampton Roads , especially in Newport News . Norfolk is a major U.S. naval base, and Portsmouth is a U.S. naval shipyard; Hampton is a center for aeronautical research. N Virginia has become the home of one of the largest concentrations of computer communications firms in the U.S. Other leading industries include tourism and the manufacture of chemicals, electrical equipment, and food, textile, and paper products. Tens of thousands of Virginians work in government, especially in the District of Columbia or in nearby “Beltway” suburbs like Reston and Langley.
