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.

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.

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,
