From the moment you enter this luxurious, 500-acre community, you will feel the remarkable difference. The discerning homebuyer will be moved and refreshed by the uncommon character, resident in every detail of this development. Turning in from Richland Road, onto the cobblestone entrance, you are greeted with footprints of a British countryside. Garden effects, stonework, and an English-style gatehouse usher you into the uncompromising quality of construction and Euro-inspired creativity in design, stamped throughout each chapter of this magnificent, new development, THE COTSWOLDS. Developer Fred D. Peak, along with heralded home designers, along with award-winning architect Richard Compton and artist extraordinaire Jim Peek, have teamed up with a select circuit of quality homebuilders that comprise the driving, creative force behind this planned urban development, unmatched in Lee County. In the solicitation of local and state resources, this project is evolving with added value to city planning and development. The location of THE COTSWOLDS is adjacent to the planned, outer loop around Auburn connecting the I-85 and the 280. Funding by the developer has allowed the expansion of Richland Road to begin, which will ultimately extend to the city-planned Outer Loop. This establishes 35-foot wide city streets with curbs, gutters, and 8-foot sidewalks along the entire link! Already under construction along this road is the new, 10-acre city tennis complex. And across the street, a little farther down, is the 15 to 20-acre site for the new elementary school that the city is planning for completion by the end of 2007. The long-range planning of eight phases of THE COTSWOLDS will include green space, walking trails along Saugahatchee Creek, and a swimming pool and clubhouse, centrally located in each phase. Perhaps the most exclusive asset in this development is the proposed Village Center. Sundry retail shops and eateries will border the large Fountain Square, and other businesses (like banking and dry cleaning) will be convenient, along with a 50,000 square-foot food market. As the development progresses towards The Village Center, the housing will grow in density to include attached homes, patio homes, condos, loft apartments and assisted living. The construction and design is governed by strict building covenants that will promote the choice of quality for homes and lifestyle. Details in landscaping (to include the use of stone and ivy) placement and design of exterior features (decorative streetlamps, signs and mailboxes), underground utilities (phone, gas, sewer, electric and cable) will further enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of THE COTSWOLDS. Destined to be a crown jewel of Lee County, THE COTSWOLDS offers you a pleasing lifestyle, laden with amenities and dream homes that will sustain your generation and imagination of family life, the way it should be.
