McLaurin Farms

Final Phase · From the $900s

Estate-sized homesites on the edge of town, with walking trails and conservation land woven through the neighborhood. The final phase is releasing now, ready for custom design.

The Community

A farm community with room to live.

McLaurin Farms sits on the edge of Fuquay-Varina, with walking trails and conservation land woven through the neighborhood. The homesites are estate-sized, so houses sit with room around them rather than shoulder to shoulder. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is a few minutes away when you want it. The farm is the quiet when you do not.

Gemstone is the owner-led custom option here. Ken Godwin and Chris Schiavone founded the company on a simple conviction: the person who builds your home should care about it as much as you do. They set the standard, and they are accountable for every home that carries the name.

Every home is custom. A plan is a starting point, not a catalog close. Walk the finishes in our Design Studio, then we size the home to your lot.

  • Built-In Standards
The Gemstone Standard

What other builders call an upgrade, we call standard.

The difference between two homes at the same price per square foot is almost always where the money went. We put ours into the parts of a home you do not see on a spec sheet but live with every day.

  • ZIP System sealed building envelope
  • Subflooring at twice the industry standard
  • Encapsulated, climate-controlled crawl space

Gemstone has built 150+ homes since 2017, from an office at 206 Raleigh Street a few minutes from McLaurin Farms. The standard is in every one of them.

On Your Lot

Own land elsewhere in Fuquay-Varina?

A lot you already own cannot be brought into McLaurin Farms. If your land is elsewhere in Fuquay-Varina or the towns around it, we will design and build to that site instead. Bring us the ground and we will start there.

Common Questions

Building at McLaurin Farms

Yes. The final phase is releasing now, and homes start from the $900s. Write us and we will tell you which homesites remain.
Every home at McLaurin Farms is custom. Start with one of our plans or bring your own layout, and we will size the home to your lot.
Not inside McLaurin Farms. Homesites there come with the community. If you own land elsewhere in or around Fuquay-Varina, yes. Start here.
It depends on the lot, the size of the home, and the finish level. A price per square foot on its own is misleading. Our cost-to-build guide walks through what actually drives the number.
