A NEW BEGINNING

The start of something new. Passion, character, innovation — common qualities of the tight-knit community at Deer Hill Preserve. We’re a neighborhood focused and inspired by the open and free natural lands that surround our homes. A safe place where children can roam — creating memories in the mystery of their own backyards; a place where all generations can come together and continue their journey surrounded by conserved woodlands, wetlands, and acres of preserved natural resources.

This community starts with you. You will help create and establish the sense of belonging and stewardship to this small—yet vastly open—neighborhood. You and your family will help set the path and pave the road for our future generation to thrive and make the world a better place; one custom home at a time.

We’re a community
like no other.

We’re a place where children can be curious and adventurous. A place where late-night chatter beside the bonfire unites neighbors over a glass (or two) of wine. A place where stories and memories can be shared, surrounded by the beauty of the natural world.
