Living in the sought-after gated community of Legacy at Jordan Lake
A desirable gated community situated off the banks of an almost 14,000-acre lake, Legacy at Jordan Lake is home to more than 400 properties, with additional houses still under construction. Secluded behind a wall of dense forest, a tan-stone security building and iron gates, residents live in the utmost privacy. In addition to its hidden location, the CAP Index gives Legacy a 1 out of 10 crime score, which is the lowest possible score. The community features suburban amenities that include a clubhouse pool and a golf course, and its lakeside location allows for summertime exploration around Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. The nearest grocer is about 8 miles away along Big Woods Road, the main artery that takes residents to and from Legacy’s gates. While tucked away from the noise and bustle of the city, locals are still close enough to take a 15-mile trip to Chapel Hill and a 25-mile ride to Raleigh. The homes in Legacy have a Chapel Hill mailing address, but the neighborhood is part of Chatham County and busses students to its highly rated school district.
Residents enjoy the newly built homes, friendly neighbors and well maintained community of Legacy at Jordan Lake.
There are beautiful landscaping features spread throughout the Legacy at Jordan Lake community, including the beautiful waterfall feature upon entering the area.

New Traditionals and colonial-style homes along Legacy Falls Drive
The only entrance into Legacy at Jordan Lakes is off Big Woods Road, where meticulous landscaping and a decorative stone welcome sign coordinate with many of the properties found within the gated community. After scanning past the guard post, residents make their way along Legacy Way, passing a charming waterfall. A sidewalk lines the residential Legacy Falls Drive as it weaves further into the neighborhood, where oak and magnolia trees dot lawns and open green space. Common housing styles include New Traditionals and Colonial-inspired estates, some with French Provisional influences and others with more Craftsman-themed elements. These single-family properties, built between 2013 and 2020, feature two-car garages and offer between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet of interior space. Price tags begin around $625,000 and rise to upwards of $1.2 million for a home on almost an acre. The Legacy’s HOA fees are around $200 monthly, covering community amenities that include a fitness center, tennis courts, an outdoor pool and a playground. “There’s a semi-private golf course, too, as well as a driving range,” says Lucas Mowl, Head Golf Professional at The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club, referring to the hidden 18-hole course that begins at the clubhouse.
While many of the homes are close together, the friendly neighbors and community make residents of Legacy at Jordan Lake feel right at home.
There are many homes with colonial inspired architecture featured on the beautiful neighborhood streets of Legacy at Jordan Lake.

Attending Chatham County Schools and nearby UNC Chapel Hill

Students can begin at North Chatham Elementary before transitioning to Margaret B. Pollard Middle, both of which receive an A-minus. They can then advance to Northwood High, which holds a B-plus.

Golfing at The Preserve and summers well-spent on Jordan Lake
In addition to the golf course within Legacy, residents can become members of The Preserve Golf Club, a more well-known semi-private golf course with a restaurant that specializes in chicken salad. “We have an 18-hole course, a full driving range and practice facility, and we do junior camps over the summer,” says Mowl. “Outsiders sometimes come to The Grille, but it mainly caters to golfers.”
Jordan Lake is more than a scenic view for residents driving along Big Woods Road. The man-made reservoir is part of Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, which features more than 1,000 campsites, 15 miles of hiking trails and several boat ramps throughout the park. The nearest boat ramp for Legacy residents can be found about 3 miles south of the neighborhood at Seaforth Beach, where there are sandy shores, a volleyball court, a playground and nature trails. Jordan Lake is well-known to be the summer home for bald eagles, and there are observation decks throughout the shoreline. There is an amphitheater on-site where shows are often held during the warmer months, although there are no summer concerts lined up for the 2025 season. The state park hosts the annual Jordan Lake Freedom Fest, which celebrates Independence Day with live music, food trucks and a fireworks show over the lake.
There are pickleball & tennis courts and a playground as well near the clubhouse for Legacy at Jordan Lake residents to enjoy.
Legacy at Jordan Lake residents enjoy the exclusive community golf course that is private to owners or invited guests.

Taking Route 501 to Chapel Hill and Route 64 to Raleigh
The two-lane Big Woods Road is the only way for residents to get in and out of the community. The road winds along Jordan Lake, connecting to U.S. Route 64 a mile to the south and to U.S. Route 501 about 8 miles to the north. Once on Route 64, Raleigh-Durham International Airport is a 25-mile drive east, and on Route 501, Chapel Hill is a 15-mile trip north. The area is car-dependent, as the public bus and train services only operate closer to Chapel Hill.
Boutique shopping and trendy dining in Fearrington Village
For shopping and dining excursions, residents will need to take Big Woods Road about 8 miles north to Fearrington. Along with a Food Lion, there’s Fearrington Village, a quaint and trendy downtown area located just off U.S. Route 501. The Belted Goat is a coffee and breakfast bistro with patio seating, and The Fearrington House Restaurant offers an upscale seasonal menu in a historic colonial-style establishment.
