Epcon, a National leader in single story living continues to find the market place accepting of  its new Free Standing Villas at the Fairways at Savannah Quarters. This new development is equity owned providing stability and security to all residents and prospects.  These 2 to 3 bedroom Villas, the Classic Courtyard Collection, are being built in West Savannah’s finest gated community of Savannah Quarters at Westbrook. They include the newest innovation of private courtyards and are being developed on hole number 3 of the Greg Norman Signature Golf course managed by Troon Golf.

Our residents live in a community where mowing the lawn, trimming the shrubs and painting is provided by the Home Owners Association. We do the work you do the living!

Epcon has perfected the concept of “Single Story Maintenance-Free Living” in 30 states and over 200 communities. Frank Curran, a principal, indicated the unveiling of these latest villas are especially designed for the Southern lifestyle. A resident has commented they enjoy a peace of mind, when they travel, knowing their home is taken care of and is secure in the gated community.

 Residents experience in these new Villa collections their own private garden courtyards. They can enjoy the peaceful sound of a water fountain and the warmth of a fire pit surrounded by lush landscaping and a flowered arbor while entertaining with friends over a glass of wine or beverage in the evenings of the South. A resident indicated this is a wonderful extension of our entertaining area for many months of the year and great space for our dog to be outside and safe.

In answer to the question --Why did you decide to purchase one of our new Courtyard Villas?   A recent buyer indicated “Great floor plan that’s the right size for us, plus its maintenance-free and free standing. Also value the courtyard, tray ceilings and arched doorways in the home. Compared to other planned communities, this townhome is a real value”.

It is a place to live with friends and make new friends. It is a place where lasting times and memories are made with family and friends as you have more around the table time. A place to live well! We have had people comment that living in one of these homes is like living in a resort all year round.

People love to walk and the development includes walking trails around the lagoons. You can sit in your courtyard on many lots and watch the Herons fish for their dinner, a beautiful sight of nature in action. The community amenities are completed and include gathering spaces in the Clubhouse, Pool, Lanai and fitness center to extend your Great room for Holiday functions or other social functions with either family or neighbors.

Gary Turnbull, COO and Builder, at the Fairways encourages you to visit the community and find out from our residents why there is no need to compromise as the award winning design, carefree living, natural beauty and value blend to make the community a popular spot in the fastest growing area of West Savannah.
