 Former Horse Farm, Now a Growing All Ages Community, Draws Retirees Seeking Golf, a Variety of Homes and Elegant Surroundings

 

 
A rich horse-breeding heritage, a challenging golf course and a small-town ambiance, all found on 1,000 lush acres along the Chesapeake Bay, make Bulle Rock (pronounced Bully Rock) a place many retirees will want to call home.  This is an all ages, master planned resort, but it markets to empty nesters and retirees and has a nice mix of ages.  The community sits on an old horse farm and names its streets and neighborhoods after race horses and famous race tracks.   Not too long ago, some of the nation's finest racers were galloping through the rolling hills surrounding this elegant, gated community.

 

 

Bulle Rock plans to build 25 separate but connected neighborhoods.  When building is finished (2012 is the scheduled completion date), 2,100 single-family homes, town homes and condominiums will cluster around the 7,375-yard, Pete Dye-designed championship golf course, one of the top-rated courses in the country.

Five builders, including D.R. Horton, Ryland Homes and Williamsburg Homes, have put their stamp on Bulle Rock, giving buyers an array of architectural styles and prices from which to choose.   Condominium prices start in the mid- to upper-$200,000s, as do town home prices.  Single-family homes start in the low-$300,000s (and top out in the low $500,000s).   Condominium square footage starts at 1,678 sq. ft., and the single family homes have from 2,094 to 3,000 square feet.  All residences come with an attached garage

 

The heart of Bulle Rock is the stately 37,000 square foot community center.  Here residents gather for dining, socializing and enjoying a day spa with professional masseuses and aestheticians, a fully-equipped cardiovascular center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and tennis courts.  Walking and bicycling paths provide plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the sumptuous surroundings, and a planned residents-only marina will give homeowners direct access to Chesapeake Bay.  For information, call 410-939-8700 or visit the website at www.bullerock.com   

With historic Havre de Grace (population 12,000) just a few minutes down the road, waterfront shopping and more dining options are always available.     As for climate, this area sees summer temperatures in the 80s and low 90s and winter temperatures in the 20s and 30s.   Precipitation averages about 4 inches a month; 4 to 5 inches of this is snow each month from December to March.
