This part of Mint Hill is somewhat rural and Oxfordshire’s half-acre lots make the neighborhood fit its surroundings. Homes here have plenty of space for outdoor activities and wonderful privacy.
Homes are set on generous level lots and some have covered porches to enjoy the private backyards.
Construction began in Farmwood in the mid-1970s and continued through the early 1990s. Large wooded lots ranging from a half acre to over an acre on wide streets provide a beautiful setting for Farmwood homes. The earliest Farmwood homes were mostly traditional brick ranches, two-stories and tri-levels. Some were basement homes where the slope of the lots accommodated them. As the years passed and home styles changed, country-style homes with big friendly front porches and wood siding were built. The most recently built Farmwood homes tended to be large two-story colonials with transitional interiors.
The original golf course at Pine Lake was built in the early 1960s and was renovated in 1988 by John LaFoy, a renowned golf course designer.
