Ironhook Harbor

The county approval is for 165 single family homes.
Home type: single family houses on individual lots. GR zoning allows lots of 10,000 square feet.
Builder: not named in any public record we have read as of October 30, 2026.
Floor plans and prices: none released.
Age restriction: none in the county record. Ironhook Harbor is an all ages plan.
When a builder, plans and prices are released, we will put them on this page.

The final plan the county approved in April 2026 lists the amenities and their sizes.
Pool: about 1,350 square feet, with a bath house of about 400 square feet.
Playground: about 2,000 square feet.
Dog park: about 2,000 square feet.
Also: a mail station and parking.
The deadline: the county requires the pool, bath house, dog park and playground to be finished and open before the 100th home building permit is issued.
Amenities on a plan are not open amenities. We will tell you what is built before you commit.

These conditions came with the 2023 approval and carry into the final plan. A sales office rarely volunteers them.
Amenities on a clock: pool, bath house, dog park and playground open before building permit number 100. That is a promise with a number on it.
Woods: about 24 acres of existing woods are to be preserved.
Buffers: a wooded or planted strip at least 20 feet wide along Wilson Road and Sand Hill Road, and at least 30 feet wide on every other side. No stump removal or grading inside it.
Farm notice: the recorded restrictions must say that active farming goes on nearby, with the noise, dust and seasonal work that comes with it.
Construction hours: site work and deliveries only from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and 8am to 2pm on Saturday, never on Sunday.
Sidewalks: on at least one side of every internal street.

Two approved communities share Wilson Road, about a mile apart on opposite sides.
Ironhook Harbor: 165 lots on 100.54 acres, GR zoning, a standard layout, 1.65 lots per acre, in a zone that permits 10,000 square foot lots. Pool, bath house, playground and dog park.
Grayrock Preserve: 94 lots on 47.48 acres, AR-1 cluster layout, about 1.98 lots per acre, lots of at least 7,500 square feet, with 53 percent of the site kept as open space. Walking trails and play equipment, no pool in the county conditions.
The difference: GR zoning permits 10,000 square foot lots in a standard layout across the whole site. The AR-1 cluster at Grayrock allows lots as small as 7,500 square feet grouped closer together, so more of the land stays open.
