Clayton North Carolina Schools.....Because They are Ranked so Highly add Value to Clayton Homes. This is from an article Money Magazine did in May 2010 and it was brought to my attention by a couple from Upstate New York who were relocating and were taking into consideration the schools in Clayton. Their kids are all out of the house and have no need for schools however as the article points out the fact that the house you are buying is in a good/great school district adds value to the property. The magazine article was titled 'WHY IT PAYS TO SEEK OUT GREAT SCHOOLS' and it states that homes in an area with good public schools tend to appreciate more in up markets and sell faster and for higher prices in down markets. They also recommend doing some research and discovering up and coming ...

Time for Some New Shoes...The Farrier Comes to Portofino Equestrian Community One of the amazing things about being around horses is when the Farrier comes out to replace their shoes. Farriers play a vital role in the health and comfort of horses the world over and their knowledge of that relativly small piece of the horse comes from years of experience and skills handed down over time. The Farrier is as vital to the well being of the horse as the Vet and the Trainer. The hoof of horses can take a beating and under the right conditions a multitude of problems can arise. The Farrier is there not just to put shoes on but also to advise and correct the hoof in order to prevent lameness. The first time you see a Farrier cut the hoof down or pinch a wedge out or put a red hot shoe on a hoof ...

The Great Stare Down With The Deer at Portofino Equestrian Community in Clayton NC We were out on the trails at Portofino in Clayton the other evening and came upon this group of deer. They seemed pretty inquisitive and did not seem to be bothered by us. With the new homes being built they must be getting used to us by now. They still kept a good distance, and with 400 acres of non hunting land they would be wise to hang around. We have also seen wild turkeys, snakes, rabbits, turtles,crawfish,herons, ducks, geese and fish out here.

When A Custom Builder Builds Your Home... You Get The Home You Want!     This is a new construction home in Clayton NC being built by Steve Corker of Corker Enterprises at Portofino Equestrian Community. Steve has noticed certain things he can change as the house has come up from the dirt, the easiest way to make changes is here. As Steve and his framing crew were working on the floor joists they were able to make changes like bump out a wall here and extend a doorway for example, now all the doorways are wheelchair accessible. There was some room to extend a bedroom, space that would have never been utilized now becomes a huge feature to a home buyer.   When the second floor went up Steve saw how he could make the best use of the space and again this is the one and only chance you are ...
