This is exciting news for Stonecrest Homes and their new home community called Lake Forest in Perry, GA, conveniently located only several miles from Robins Air Force Base. Stonecrest Homes’ principals, Charles Heiser, Jr. and Jim Chapman, teamed up with middle Georgia apartment contractor Chap Ashmore to build new homes in Lake Forest this year. Chap has years of experience in the home building industry, and most notably, he is a highly decorated military veteran having received the Silver Star Medal, the Bronze Star Medal with “V” device and the Purple Heart.

“We are proud to be partnering with such an honored veteran as Chap and to be building in such a great military area as Houston County and Warner Robins / Perry. While nice we certainly did not need a poll to tell us what our research told us in advance of our investment in Lake Forest – that the quality of life in middle Georgia is unparalleled. We are excited to be building here and to be housing some of our younger patriots currently in the military and serving our great country,” said CFO Jim Chapman.

Houston County Named One of Top 100 Communities for Young People is a post from: Stonecrest Homes

“Stonecrest Homes is proud to be building in Houston County and more particularly in Perry, GA. The school system is top notch and the strength of Robins Air Base as an economic engine is undeniable. The area has such a pro-business attitude. I love that. It’s hard not to like doing business in Perry and the greater Houston County area,” says Jim Chapman, CFO of Stonecrest Homes.

Lake Forest is a conservation community which provides permanent protection to the naturally flowing tree lines throughout the property. Though it offers a natural, wooded setting and is tucked away from the hustle of normal life, the community is still convenient to shopping, restaurants, recreational activities and Robins Air Force Base.

The houses are beautifully designed, solidly constructed and efficient to operate featuring upscale appointments as well as three car garages. There are currently two move-in ready homes available at Lake Forest. Both are on a slab and feature 2,350 – 2,650 heated square feet with four bedrooms and two and one half bathrooms.

Perry Chamber of Commerce Holds Ribbon Cutting for Lake Forest in Houston County is a post from: Stonecrest Homes

“Having a vision for a master planned community is extremely gratifying.  Watching it take shape just as you had hoped is even more exciting.”  Says Lake Forest developer, Jack Smith.

Jack and his son, Clay Smith a Houston County native and creator of the Lake Forest conservation subdivision in Perry, are feeling very good about what they are watching these days.

“Two beautiful homes that are part of an initial 12-home phase are completed and available for move-in,” Jack explains.  “The community is emerging at an ideal time in terms of growth and demand in the Warner Robins/Perry area.”

The exclusive builder, Stonecrest Homes, was handpicked by Smith who calls it “an excellent fit with our goals and approach.”  Owned by industry veterans Charles Heiser, Jr. and Georgia native Jim Chapman, Stonecrest combines innovative design and quality construction with proven business systems.

Family First
The Stonecrest portfolio includes family friendly neighborhoods and active adult communities throughout North and Middle Georgia.

“Stonecrest’s focus on the upwardly mobile family buyer was an important factor in our choice,” says Smith.  He also points to the builder’s track record in energy efficiency and customer service.

Stonecrest CEO Charles Heiser, Jr. is delighted with the opportunity to serve the Warner Robins/Perry market.  “We’ve got so much to offer the Middle Georgia buyer – fresh floor plans, generous amenities and a commitment to deliver the most home for the dollar,” he adds.

That’s exactly what Lake Forest is all about.  Conveniently located near Robins Air Force Base, stores, restaurants and recreation, Lake Forest meets a need for fully equipped, affordably priced homes in a neighborhood setting.  Traditional design lends the community a timeless quality that will contribute to long-term value.

Inside, the homes are made for easy living with features like a breakfast bar and large family room.  The open flow was designed to maximize family interaction and to simplify daily tasks like meal prep and laundry.

As a conservation community, Lake Forest offers protection to the area’s green space and mature tree groves.  The result is a peaceful, natural setting, despite the proximity to shopping and conveniences.  The community’s amenity package features a swimming pool, cabana with his-and-hers baths and a tot lot.

Local schools are top notch and include Morningside Elementary, Mossy Creek Middle and Perry High School.

“Great Asset”
Lake Forest sales are under the direction of Scott Free, broker/owner of Coldwell Banker Robbins & Free, one of the area’s most successful real estate organizations.  Free says anticipation about Lake Forest is high among buyers.  “Lake Forest is a great asset to our area.  It’s ideal for families, including many in the military, who are looking for new-home value and neighborhood amenities in a top school district,” he says.  “We join Jack Smith in welcoming Stonecrest Homes as a true partner in creating this community.”

Exciting Extra
With quality, value and a terrific location – off 75 and proximate to both Macon and Atlanta – Lake Forest promises to be one of the most sought-after subdivisions in the area.

The first 12 buyers will become exclusive members of the Lake Forest Founders Club.  Among privileges, they will receive a one-year social membership to the Houston Lake Country Club, a special appliance package and more.

Stonecrest Homes: Right Time. Right Place. Right Builder is a post from: Stonecrest Homes

Both homes feature brick accents on the front, three sides hardi plank and shakes, 35 year architectural shingles and either real wood or cementious cornice – no vinyl. Both homes will also have irrigation systems, four sides Bermuda sod and a three car garage. The two main doors come with remotely controlled motorized openers.

Lot 323 - The Barrington

Lot 323 is the Barrington plan. This beautiful home has 2,380 heated square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Lot 324 - The Cheswicke

Lot 324 is the Cheswicke plan. This regal home has 2,520 heated square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Both plans feature a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, tile backsplash and either a tile or hardwood floor. They each have large walk-in pantries, separate dining rooms and ample crown and chair rail molding at the foyer and dining rooms. The family rooms feature a 36-inch electric fireplace with a large stone mantle and surround. Hardware and light fixtures throughout each home are oil rubbed bronze and the bathrooms all feature tile floors. These are incredibly well appointed family homes!

These homes would normally be priced over $100 per square foot but not at Stonecrest’s Lake Forest Estates. These homes will be listed by Coldwell Banker Robbins & Free’s Cindy Lasseter in the next week or so. Stay tuned for the final pricing and be amazed at the value Stonecrest is able to offer our middle Georgia customer!
