"No rural sights alone, but rural sounds exhilarate the spirit..." William Cooper
Cherokee Farms was one the last agricultural tracts developed among the residential sprawl that surrounds the property on all four sides. This is important to consider since looming future development is not a concern for homeowners at Cherokee Farms. 110 acres in it's entirety, Cherokee Farms is broken down into a 15 acre Equestrian Facility and Community Pasture, 22 acre Nature Preserve and Trail Network, 7 more acres of Open Space and Common Areas, leaving 66 acres for 52 1+ Acre Homesites. Although zoning permitted for TWICE as many lots, the Developer insisted on preserving the historical structures already existing on the property, developing around the vast amount of mature and grand hardwoods and providing plenty of Open Space and Common Areas for use and enjoyment by the property owners.
"There is virtue in country houses, in gardens and orchards, in fields, streams and groves, in rustic recreations and plain matters, that neither cities or universities enjoy..."
Predominately the Catawba and Cherokee Indians called this area between the Broad and Catawba Rivers (York County today) home until European settlement began in the 1750s.
