You're Closer Than You Think To The Most Beautiful Equestrian Community In The Triangle, Portofino


View Larger Map
Do you work in Research Triangle Park and want to ride horses in the evening or go for a walk on a trail with a canopy of trees that wind their way through the woods and end up at the river?  How about taking the kids to the beach entry pool next to the stunning clubhouse where the residents can enjoy the open fireplace in the shade of massive trees overlooking the pool.
Fifty some  minutes doesn't seem that long when you can escape to Portofino! The Triangle has not seen anything like this. Over 350 acres of woodlands and only 190 home sites, so the natural beauty of the land will be preserved like no other community in the Triangle. How about Forty some minutes to Raleigh Durham International Airport or 27 minutes to Wake Med. Twenty Five minutes to Downtown Raleigh.

A team of Custom Builders will help you design your dream house using your plans or theirs, large lots from .5 acre all the way up to over five acres. Basement lots, Brick Homes, Natural Stone and Hardiplank are just some of the features at Portofino.
We have just started our newest phase which will have custom homes on half acre lots, mostly ranch plans with downstairs master bedrooms with a price range from about $270,000 up to $350,000.
The Belmont Collection has homes starting in the $375,000 range and depending on the lot size goes up from there. These lots range in size from .75 acre up to over five acres, some river lots are also available.
The Estate section features larger homes a minimum of 3200 sq. ft. on large lots some of which are suitable for horses.
Speaking of horses, the barn at Portofino is a state of the art facility modeled after a Kentucky barn it has to be seen to be appreciated. The plans include an indoor arena, two outdoor riding rings, bleachers so even if you don't ride there will always be something to see and do.

Portofino is located in Clayton , the zip code 27527 was just named in the top five by Business Week magazine for having the best schools with the most affordable housing. There is ample shopping in town and the Carolina Premium Outlets are just a short drive away, there is a new Community Center in Clayton along with the 600 seat auditorium which is The Clayton Center, a state of the art performance and conference center.
Two hours from the beach is nice!
