The overall theme of The Estates at Mills Farm is one of understanding elegance and tastefulness.  Each individual home, regardless of style, must represent these qualities as well.  This can be achieved when each architectural element is true to its style.  The home must be of proper proportion with each of it’s components in relationship to the whole.

Buildings will be faced on all sides with quality facing materials such as brick, stone, wood or stucco as approved by the DRC.
