Eagles Landing: New Homes in Lillington, NC

Neills Creek Road runs northeast out of Lillington through farmland and stands of pine, past long driveways and mailboxes set back from the pavement. About five miles up, the land opens into sixteen homesites.

This is Eagles Landing. Half an acre to a full acre each, set far enough apart that what you see out the back is your own.

Sixteen homesites is the whole community, not phase one of six. It is the newest of our new homes in Lillington NC neighborhoods.

Room You Can Actually Use

Every homesite here runs between a half acre and a full acre.

That number means more once you stand on it. It is a real backyard instead of a strip of sod, deep enough that the tree line reads as scenery rather than a property marker. It is the difference between a yard you maintain and a yard you spend time in.

There is no through traffic either, because the road does not go anywhere except to the homes on it.

Your Everyday Radius

Harnett County sits within arm's reach of this address.

Neills Creek Park is three quarters of a mile up the same road. Twenty-five acres of trails, creek frontage, and open ground, close enough that it functions less like a destination and more like the back half of the neighborhood. Most communities charge dues for a playground. This one has a nature preserve two minutes from the driveway.

Schools are a mile away. Harnett Central Middle and Harnett Central High share the same campus corridor about two minutes up Harnett Central Road.

Campbell University is six minutes east in Buies Creek, which puts Division I ball games, a college-town coffee shop, and a serious library closer to the front door than the grocery store is for most people in Raleigh.

Downtown Angier is eight minutes north. Downtown Lillington is ten minutes southwest, with the Cape Fear River running behind it. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is fifteen minutes, when you want a longer dinner list and a Saturday market.

Raven Rock State Park is about twenty minutes away. Bluffs a hundred feet over the Cape Fear, twenty-some miles of trail, and enough river frontage that you can spend a whole Saturday there and not repeat yourself.

For military families, Fort Bragg is roughly thirty minutes down the road. That is the trade this part of the county offers. You get the land and the schools, and you spend a little of it on the drive.
