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.
There’s just something about a small town. And with a location just 5 minutes off Highway 87, Ponder puts you conveniently in the middle of two. Historic Wendell and Zebulon are each about 10 minutes in either direction — both 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.
When you have a unique vision, you have to team up with people who share it. So we've partnered with some of the best national and regional builders who can help Ponder come to life, by bringing their creativity, forward thinking and fresh floorplans to our community. How lucky to call this place home.
A lot of exciting things are (and will be) happening as Ponder begins to take shape. Here’s one place where you can catch up on it all.
