The Parke at Saddlecreek Neighborhood Guide

The quiet calm of country living and easy access to city amenities – welcome to the Parke at Saddlecreek. Driving through the wide-open land of Goochland County, it is easy to see why country life is so appealing. Just past horse country, rolling pastures and lush forests is this exclusive subdivision. The community is surrounded by tall trees on each side, which only adds to the desirable secluded feel of the Parke at Saddlecreek. A custom, mountain-esque water feature meets a gorgeous stone-clad sign to note the main entrance of the neighborhood. Because there is only a single entrance – located off of Manakin Road, also known as Route 621 – residents enjoy living without the worry of through traffic. The subdivision feels out of the way, like residents have their own little slice of Goochland‘s countryside; however, all the shops, employers, dining establishments and entertainment options of Short Pump are mere minutes from the neighborhood.

There are a total of three sections within the Parke at Saddlecreek, and in all, approximately 100 home sites. Unlike some of its neighboring communities, the Parke at Saddlecreek features easy to maintain lot sizes, most of which measure in at around an acre in size. The vast majority of the tracts are backed by hardwoods, though there are some exceptions. In addition to the lush greenery, man-made ponds highlight the landscape within this subdivision. All of the water features are set in the neighborhood’s common spaces, and this means they are open for use by each and every homeowner within the Parke at Saddlecreek.

Eagle Construction is the company behind this planned community, and as such, each and every home is hand built to the highest standards of modern construction.

The homes all feature a similar, up-to-date appearance and are clad in a mixture of siding and stone. Earth-tone hues complement the natural surroundings of the subdivision for a picturesque look and a designer feel. Perhaps the single most important element of the exterior construction, however, is the addition of porches and decks to each and every property. The developers were going for a homey, friendly and neighborly environment when they created the Parke at Saddlecreek, and what is more welcoming than a front porch?

Indeed, the feel of the subdivision is so desirable that the lots are completely sold out. For those lots that are not built upon, there are plenty of examples of Eagle Construction’s work throughout the subdivision, as well as a gorgeous model home that shows the extent of the company’s talent in innovative construction and design.
