Fresh new homes with a summer retreat soul

From the creators of Wendell Falls

Let’s get back to the basics. Where days are spent enjoying the camaraderie of friends, a signature lake and miles of trails. Favorite places are found in nature. And the most pressing thing on the agenda is to see if the fish are biting.

For 250 years, it’s how generations lived on this land. So we are honoring its history and letting it guide us — from annual ice cream socials to a come-as-you-are lake house. Ponder will be inspired by tradition, yet anything but traditional. “New-fashioned” sums it up nicely.

A new center

There’s just something about a small town. And with a location that’s easily accessible off Highway 87, Ponder puts you conveniently in the middle of two. Historic Wendell and Zebulon are equidistant in either direction — each offering their own authentic charm and spirit. Where you’re just as likely to find a new foodie-worthy restaurant as a weekend festival. And you’re never far from a craft brewery. Should you, however, feel the urge to be a city slicker for the day, Raleigh is nearby, along with its culture, careers and conveniences. For those seeking a better life balance, this is the place.

Our homebuilder partners

When you have a unique vision, you have to team up with people who share it. So we reached out to some of the best national and regional builders who can help Ponder come to life. Brookfield Residential, Garman, Homes by Dickerson and Richmond American will bring their craft, forward thinking and fresh floorplans to our community (more details coming soon). How lucky to call this place home.
