Who is the owner/developer of Stonegate Farms?
Stonegate Farms, LLC is an Alabama limited liability corporation formed by Stonegate Realty Company, LLC (SRC) for the purpose of developing Stonegate Farms.
SRC was formed as an outgrowth of a management-led acquisition of a mixed-use portfolio of real estate from Torchmark Corporation in 1999 in a $100 million transaction.
The officers of SRC have extensive experience in both commercial and residential development. SRC managed the development of Liberty Park until July 1999, when Drummond Company acquired all the residential aspects of the Liberty Park development from its joint venture with Torchmark Corporation.

VI of the CC&R's for specific building setback requirements. The ARC has broad authority to grant variances to take into account the numerous unforeseen conditions that owners and builders will encounter as they plan and construct their homes and other improvements within Stonegate Farms. The purpose of the
CCR's is to provide a comprehensive framework to encourage quality development

side of Stonegate Farms (Shoal Creek and Smyer Lake) utilize residential septic
systems and to the best of our knowledge, those systems are in good working order.

completed and the results were all positive. No further test pits have been performed

It will be the responsibility of each lot Buyer to become comfortable with the satisfaction
of percolation requirements relative to their lot as it relates to their proposed home site
and necessary septic field lines.
