Since 1974, we’ve been crafting Fearrington Village near Chapel Hill, NC one satisfied homeowner at a time. R.B. Fitch is the developer and builder. As a resident and an integral part in the Village’s day-to-day activities, you can see his initial vision through the natural development of the community.

Come for a visit! Our real estate team will show you the community we’ve created, including the Village Center, neighborhoods, homesites, homes, and community amenities. Whether you want a large wooded lot or the ability to walk to the Village Center, we’ll help you select the right homesite.
Work with our on-site architectural designer to create your ideal home layout and exterior. Then customize the interior in our Design Center. We have everything you need — flooring, countertops, tiles, cabinets, faucets, lighting, window treatments, and paint decks.
Our general contractor handles all permitting, inspections, and work scheduling, and we keep you posted on the construction progress. Our construction crews have built every home at Fearrington, and will build your home with the same care and dedication. Our service warranty coordinator provides service and support, even after the final walk-through.
We’re always so excited to give you the keys to your new home at move-in time. Unique among developers, Fitch Creations, Inc. is based here and our door is always open, whether you need a trade recommendation or just want to say hi!

R.B. and his late wife, Jenny, purchased the Fearrington dairy farm in 1974 and soon started converting the farm and surrounding land into a country village. The original farm house and outbuildings now house the shops and restaurants of the village center, while over 1,200 families have homes nestled in the surrounding woodlands and fields. Learn more about R.B. Fitch.
Working with Fitch Creations has been an absolute delight. Architectural designer Brian Cather transformed our plans and dreams for our house into a physical masterpiece. Laura Morgan, Paige Greene and the construction team then took an incredible amount of time and care to make sure they understood our needs, wants and expectations in our build, and then exceeded them. Choosing Fitch Creations means embracing a partnership where innovation and quality come together to make every turn into Fearrington Village a trip to our forever home.
Cheers,
Serge & Ash
Fearrington Village is more than just a wedding venue or an inn. Behind every corner, there’s something to explore! We’d love for you to take a look around and plan your next visit to the village so you can see just how wonderful Fearrington Village can be.
Between The Gathering Place and Swim and Croquet Club, behind our storage shed is a compost center for the Village. I love the idea of having a designated spot for all of our food and organic scraps. Because Fearrington is nestled in lots and lots…
