BELLE TERRE
Breathtaking! Nestled among hundreds of majestic oaks, new construction homes to be built for sale in Belle Terre will overlook Parrot Creek with spectacular panoramic views. This seems like a secret due to the ongoing now-resolved litigation (see below) this has not been advertised enough. Buy your lot now before it becomes too well known and your selection is limited. Lots with the best views will probably have to construct longer docks, so there is a bit of a trade-off.
