A few photos of some of the activities of Acorn Creek.
The vision for Acorn Creek launched in 2019 with a number of informational meetings.
Even in the early stages, before land was purchased, and during the pandemic, we enjoyed spending time together.
On the one-year anniversary of the land purchase, we held a special celebration.
Since the Acorn Creek property was purchased, lots of gatherings with family and friends have already taken place, even before more building began.
Checking in with each other prior to one of our regular meals at the common house.
Workdays are a regular occurrence.
Members plan multiple activities together,
including hikes like this one at Umstead State Park.
Outings to the Bearded Bee brewery in Wendell are popular!
Clearing the area for lots 1-5.
The common house sits in the background.
Community members relocated a shed to a more appropriate spot near lot six that had originally sat where Daphne Lane now runs in front of lots three and four.
The 19 acres of land at Acorn Creek include a beautiful pond, woods, hiking trails, several creeks and other common space. No matter the season, the grounds are lovely.
An existing large log cabin home on the property serves not only as a common gathering place for the community, but also the residence of one of our founding members.
Most of the members showed up either in person or online for this group photo in July 2023 inside the common house.
Many gatherings take place outside, like this eclipse watch party in April, 2024.
Located in the middle of Wendell Falls, tremendous amounts of residential and commercial development surround Acorn Creek. Already nearby there is a grocery store, numerous restaurants, two schools, a 12-bed ER “healthplex”, and much more is on the way. Our community is a sort of tree-filled oasis in the midst of it all.
