Harnett County: Cotton Farms’ Second Home

When the plans started forming for the Cotton Farms community, the development team all agreed that one thing was key: location. Prospective homebuyers have endless options when building a new home, but location is often listed as the top priority. The goal for Cotton Farms was to offer a location that allowed residents to experience the best of two worlds: beautiful, serene landscapes and convenience to modern amenities. Fuquay-Varina fit those requirements perfectly, and the Cotton Farms community found its home!

While Fuquay-Varina is claimed by Wake County, Cotton Farms was strategically placed at its border with Harnett County as this would allow residents an enhanced blend of tranquility and access to metropolitan areas. The community sits midway between Raleigh and Fayetteville, nestled into the peaceful countryside yet just a stone’s throw from two bustling cities.

What makes Cotton Farm’s proximity to Harnett County a bonus for new homebuyers?

• Rich, Natural Beauty: Harnett County is a haven for nature enthusiasts! With attractions like Raven Rock State Park, residents can indulge in hiking, fishing, and camping. The Cape Fear River winds through the county, providing the perfect spot for kayaking or riverside picnics. Did you know that Harnett County boasts nearly 6,000 acres of parkland and 26 miles of hiking/walking trails?
• Community and Culture: Each community in Harnett County is tight-knit, and residents are proud of that! It is rare to find a weekend in which there is not a festival or farmers’ market open for business. Those new to the region quickly become regulars in the area’s small shops and eateries. And, with a commitment to preserving Harnett County’s cultural heritage, locals love to share its history in a way that is welcoming and inclusive.
• Educational Opportunities: From kindergarten to graduate school, Harnett County is packed with educational opportunities for students of all ages. Public grade schools are among the best in the state. There are numerous in-county options for higher education, and a long list of additional universities are just a short drive away.
• Proximity to Urban Hubs: Harnett County is convenient to both Fayetteville and Raleigh. While downtown Fuquay-Varina is filled with quaint spots, large entertainment venues, professional sporting events, and shopping centers are easily accessible via the area’s major highways. Many residents rely on that quick commute daily as they leave their office behind to come home to Harnett County’s cozy countryside.
• Economic Growth: Harnett County is on an upward trajectory with a strong focus on community and business development. New business growth is rising as companies discover the area, creating opportunities for residents through employment, services, health care, and more. Many residents have found budding careers in Research Triangle Park, headquarters for dozens of major companies.
• Affordable Living: One of the standout features of Harnett County is its affordability. From charming historic homes to modern developments, future residents may have a hard time narrowing down their choices. Compared to neighboring Wake or Johnston counties, Harnett offers more competitive property tax rates and housing prices. For Cotton Farms’ custom homebuyers, this translates to larger design plans and generous lots while easily staying on budget.
