Did You Know .... Hills Quarter?
> Hills Quarter, VA is a golf community wonderfully situated in Virginia's Northern Neck region, a.k.a. "the Garden of Virginia." A historic crossroads of culture and diverse regional activities, it recently hosted the 5th annual Northern Neck RiverRide, with a field of some 800 cycling enthusiasts on a tour of this unique peninsula located between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers.
Life in the Northern Neck presents pleasures like a visit to the White Fences Vineyard, in the charming town of Irvington, Virginia, planted with six acres of Vinifera and French American Hybrid vines producing wines of quality and richly subtle tones.
Belle Isle State Park is another landmark of the Neck, spread out over 733 acres with seven miles of frontage on the lower Rappahannock River and miles of trails through lowland marshes and upland woods.
Sailing enthusiasts thinking of buying a Hills Quarter home should tour the Rappahannock River Yacht Club, just two miles from the community. The club stages regular races for the classic daysailer from Cape Dory, the Typhoon. Need instruction? There’s a full summer schedule of classes for adults and juniors.
Located just five minutes from the RRYC, Hills Quarter is a 475-acre master-planned golf community featuring the award-winning King Carter links, named "Best New Affordable Public Course," by Golf Digest in 2006. The community will eventually have 500 homes and a commercial Town Center with adjacent winery. Homesites spread along the golf course, pond-front or wooded preserve.
