F.A.Q.

Is this an HOA community?

Yes, please refer to the Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club website for details on the HOA including fees, amenities, etc.

Are dues the same if I don’t golf?

Yes, the dues are the same for all homeowners and you can use the facilities as much as or as little as you like.

What does "Prior to permits" mean?

“Prior to permits” means that the lot in question has not started the permitting process yet.  Before a lot is permitted for septic or building, whether the desired septic system or floorplan will work on that specific lot is still unknown.  The option is based upon the project manager’s best projection since many factors are still undetermined.   It’s important to understand that moving forward with a Purchase and Sale Agreement on a lot designated “prior to permits” means it is still in flux and may not result in the desired outcome.  If the lot does not work out, the purchaser will have their earnest money returned.  If the lot does work out, the rules/requirements of the standard PSA apply.

How long does it take to build a house?

6.5+ months for permitted lots, 9.5+ for unpermitted lots. In-progress or move-in ready options may offer shorter timelines.

Do you sell just the lots?

No, we do not sell lots.

What does semi-custom mean?

Each currently listed lot has a pre-selected floorplan chosen to fit best with the size, shape & topography of the lot.  Due to a wide variation in these factors, buyers are not able to change or select a different plan.  An available listing is created once a lot & floorplan combination have been determined and permitted by the county.  No structural changes can be made to any floorplans, however clients have the option & opportunity to select their own upgrades and finishes for each listing depending on the building stage of each home.  Standard features are available here.  Examples of some of our popular upgrade options are shown here. For additional questions please contact our sales team.

What’s included in the price?

The price includes the home, land, septic system and the required infrastructure. Assorted finishes and upgrades will have an additional cost. Sitework is included but additional landscaping is not.

Does it cost extra to live on the golf course?

There is a premium for golf course lots. Pricing is based upon the location, size and topography of the lot.
