Sometimes it is tough to decide between a gated community with only brand new homes, and a more established destination where the landscaping is mature — and where there is a sense of history and prestige.
On 2,900 acres that meander along the banks of the James River in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, Kingsmill on the James offers a mix of homesites where you could build something brand new or you could settle into a home, patio home or townhome that might be up for sale. Either way, you’ll get the golf courses.
Arnold Palmer, Pete Dye and Tom Clark have all made their mark on this Busch Properties gem that made Golf Digest‘s “Best 75″ golf resorts in America list.
Other amenities at Kingsmill on the James include a tennis club, fitness center, racquetball courts, a full-service Spa and salon, marina with boat slips and rentals, guided fishing tours and many dining options, even in Colonial Williamsburg.
If history repeats itself, it will only be a matter of time until second homes in special places like this are in great demand. To see what’s out there, search here.
