Pete, Just a note to express my appreciation to you for making my first house expereniece so smooth and easy! I will definitely note your kindness and efficiency to friends who are buying houses in the future. Thanks again for everything.
We bought our last home from Pete Mace. He always does a great job and always has not only a short term interest at heart, but keeps our long term (expected) return on our investment as a top priority. Pete has a great understanding of the area. He follows through and gives us peace of mind in all our transactions. I would and always do recommend Pete and his team to any of my clients.
“Pete is a very genuine person who delivered everything we asked for in purchasing our property. He spent many hours walking the properties with us and answering questions that allowed us to properly evaluate the property for our future retirement needs,”
Many people promise you can have it all. Few deliver. Pete Mace is one of the rare exceptions. With Grande Pines, he has created a one-of-a-kind gated community where residents can indulge their passions for horseback riding, mountain biking, golfing, boating and angling.
Located in the heart of North Carolina’s famed Sandhills region, Grande Pines was inspired by rich local traditions and the pine-covered, gently rolling landscape. Instead of clear-cutting the 640-acre farm and stacking families on top of each other, Mace chose to create a close-knit, private community with the aesthetics of an old-time plantation. Dogwoods bloom in the shade of the towering pines. Azaleas explode in a burst of flaming color. Post-and-rail fences divide and connect.
By carefully dissecting the property with paved roads, leaving stands of native long-leaf and short-leaf pines, and maintaining a 15-foot easement around each private estate that is 10 acres or more and the community’s perimeter, Mace has ensured Grande Pines’ residents enjoy a complete picture and are not left with the sense that they own a puzzle with a few missing pieces.
The Sandhills region is horse country and Grande Pines is horse friendly. Equestrian/Private estate lots start at 10 acres and go up. A 10-acre lot will accommodate four horses, while a 20-acre lot will accommodate eight horses. Individuals are welcome to build private stables and create a farm that meets their needs.
One of the benefits of living in Grande Pines is that the 15-foot-wide easements throughout the property are perfect for trail riding, as well as a mountain biking and hiking. For the price of one tract, you get to enjoy exploring 640 acres. In addition, there are two training arenas - one fore dressage and the other for jumping - that are available for community members. These common training areas are destined to become a gathering place for Grande Pines residents - even those who prefer to horse from afar instead of sitting astride. Not everyone lives to ride horses, so there are private estate lots, ranging from 2 to 5 acres for those who just want to revel in country living.
Of course, for people who prefer golfing to galloping, Grande Pines is ideally located. Many consider the Sandhills’ region the birthplace of American golf. Since 1900, some of the game’s biggest names have perfected their strokes on famous courses in and around the area. Pinehurst #2, which is just seven miles away, is the site of the U.S. Open when hosted in Moore County. It is consistently ranked as the nation’s second-best course, just behind California’s Pebble Beach.
Moore County, where Grande Pines is situated, is home to year-round golfing on about 60 golf courses, including the Foxfire Golf and Country Club. Foxfire is adjacent to Grande Pines, so you’re just a golf cart ride away from two premier courses, as well as the social amenities of country club living - a swimming pool, tennis courts and a clubhbouse. As a resident of Grande Pines, your membership fee to Foxfire is waived, allowing you to enjoy all the activities of the country club for just the monthly dues.
As if this isn’t enough, Grande Pines’ residents are just 10 minutes away from Lake Auman. The 1,000 acre spring-fed lake is perfect for boating or whiling away the hours pursuing large mouth bass and hand-sized bream. Through a special arrangement with the developers of Seven Lakes West, you have the chance to purchase a reasonably priced members-only lot, granting you and your family access to not only the 1,000-acre lake, but the community’s tennis courts, walking trail, community center and soon-to-be-completed swimming pool.
Living in Grande Pines not only puts you in the center of a recreational paradise, but puts you in the center of North Carolina. From Grande Pines, you’re just an hour from Raleigh, an hour from Greensboro and 1.5 hours from Charlotte. If you ever tire of the lush pine forests, the sun and salty spray of the Atlantic Ocean is just 2.5 hours away, while the cool crispness of the Carolina Mountains is just a three hour drive.
Here, you’re literally in the middle of everything. Grande Pines is a place where you can have it all, every day - now and forever.
