Rolling Hills Country Club sells 50 acres to Infinity Homes
Infinity Homes, a North Hills developer and builder of high-end custom homes throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area, has purchased roughly 50 acres of land from Rolling Hills Country Club in McMurray, where it plans to eventually build an upscale development that would be a mix of single-family and town homes, as well as villas.
Seventy-five to 100 homes are expected to be constructed on the land, Infinity said. A purchase price was not disclosed.
The land purchased by Infinity is located near the 12th hole of the golf course, said Alex Nicholas, general manager of Rolling Hills. There will be some sort of natural (plants) buffer between the homes and the golf course, he added.
“We have acquired the land,” confirmed Amanda Druschel, director of sales and marketing for Infinity. “Now, we’re currently waiting for the township.”
What Druschel is referring to is that Peters Township is in the midst of revamping and updating its zoning ordinance to accommodate both higher-density residential development and natural gas drilling. It is not yet known when the township will complete that process.
When Peters completes its zoning overhaul, Infinity will begin work on the development, which Druschel compares with Heartland Homes’ Newbury home development in South Fayette Township. That development has single-family homes with front porches, tree-lined streets and parks.
“We’re hoping to begin construction (in Peters) by late next year,” Druschel said.
Infinity’s McMurray housing project will be a first for the company, which will act as both developer and builder, said Druschel, who could not say what the starting price would be for the homes. But, Nicholas said, each person who buys a home in the development will receive a free, one-year membership to Rolling Hills.
The development will be a first for Washington County, sort of. Southpointe in Cecil Township was the first to have houses by a golf course. Infinity’s McMurray development, however, will be the first residential community in the county to be built around an existing golf course.
