A developer is launching a boutique collection of 18 single-family homes priced from $800,000 in Orange County.
Stonewall will be built on a new road called Magpie Lane in Hillsborough, just off Miller Road, between Panther Court and Minnick Road. It’s about a five-minute drive northeast from historic downtown.
Site work is underway, and homes are being marketed and sold, said Chip Bishop, general manager of Robuck Homes, a Raleigh-based, family-owned firm that has operated in the Triangle since 1926.
The project underscores the growing role of “luxury” infill projects in fast-growing bedroom towns, like Hillsborough. The developer is also building 10 single-family homes priced from $900,000 in North Raleigh’s Claridge neighborhood.
“We’re proud to be part of Hillsborough’s continued growth,” Bishop said. “Our limited collection of luxury homes will complement this highly sought-after town.”
Stonewall’s half‑acre to one‑acre homesites sit along a creek that flows into the Eno River.
Homes will start at 3,000 square feet, with optional three‑car garages, open layouts, large kitchens and flex rooms suited for an office or additional bedroom, Bishop said.
Full buildout is expected over the next couple of years.
Beyond Stonewall, Hillsborough is seeing a wave of new development.
That includes Waterstone South, Capkov Ventures’ 99‑acre mixed‑use project near UNC Hospitals with hundreds of homes, medical office space and neighborhood retail; Highland Farm Park, a 70-acre boutique residential community with up to 35 single-family homes and 35 accessory dwelling units; and Persimmon at Cates Creek, a 346-unit apartment and townhome community in southeast Hillsborough.
The town is also tracking several residential and civic projects, from infrastructure upgrades to smaller infill developments.
