Johnie and I decided that we were going to check out a house in Governor’s Club that fit all of our needs based on our future family plans.


Upon arrival, we found out that it was the Community Open House. What does that mean? There were 20+ homes open for anyone to come in and view. We looked at the house we thought fit our needs and decided it was a beautiful house, but did not have everything we wanted in our next house. We decided that since we were there and there were so many other homes open, why not take a peak at a few more. We cruised down Governor’s Club Way and drove up and down super steep hills and found a great house with an amazing view!

It had huge windows out of the main living area and kitchen with amazing views that you would think you were in a mountain house. After speaking with an awesome Governor’s Club Realty agent and telling her about our needs and wants, she directed us to the next place. This next home was perfect for what Johnie and I want for our next house. 6 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths, 6,700+ Square Feet, Basement, half an acre of FLAT land, cul-de-sac, theatre, game area…and so much more all for under $1 million!


It was just a beautiful house custom built by an ex-UNC basketball player (obviously, that is super appealing to me – an alumni of UNC). While we fell in love with the house, we are going to stay in Bella Casa for now.
If you need a new home and a gated community with golf course, pool, tennis, and much more is just what you need, The Blackwell Group can help you! The prices range from the $300k to the multi-millions! Trust me, we could find something for you!
If you aren’t in the market for a new home like this, just going to this community open house was an experience in itself. So many beautiful homes to look at! I would go back again and check out a few more since we ran out of time this time. Governor’s Club in Chapel Hill is one of the best communities in the Triangle Area offering this type of neighborhood!
