Special care is taken at Country Communities in the planning process for each property. Design is forward-thinking by looking back to the source of the property’s true value, Nature. Our Deed Restrictions are created in a very “retro” manner, or “getting back to the land,” but with the solid comfort of the owner in mind.

You, the owner are paramount in the mix as the Deed Restrictions optimize your enjoyment of the land itself. For example, at Virginia’s Meadows of Chapman Mountain, we’ve allowed a one-acre envelope of space to build your perfect home and its dependencies; the remaining 10+- acres are to be left wild forever, as Nature intended.

This is the ideal world, where you wrap your environs within the natural wildness of the land and its creatures while living in a community of like-minded folks, just on the other side of the hill. Privacy and community are achieved in these unique tracts, each with its own personality and beauty.

Planning the property layout in a Country Community requires careful consideration of the topography. President Terry Ward said, “We let the land tell us where to draw boundaries,” He added, “Respect for the land’s natural falls and turns is of utmost importance to a Country Community.” Water is a key element in this family of  properties, as is the preservation of venerable trees.

Naturally homes will be of a particular size per property. Preferred materials are easily accommodated by our recommended builders or you may choose your own contractor, if you prefer. Single family homes dot these exquisite landscapes, improved by common areas such as a Community Building, trails and bodies of water, all natural gathering areas for friends and family.

For specific Deed Restrictions per community, please visit our website at www.acountrycommunity.com or call us at 713-690-1000. Tracts are available at The Meadows of Chappell Hill, Brushy Top, Rancho Cazadores and in Summer ’08, The Meadows of Chapman Mountain.

Country Community Deed Restrictions protect the value of your land and that of your neighbors, while providing a uniform look to your home community.
