Fischer Homes, the nation’s 14th-largest private home builder, marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking of Watson at Flowers Plantation, its first community in the Raleigh market. The new community introduces Fischer Homes’ award-winning Masterpiece Collection to local homebuyers in fast-growing Johnston County.

Situated on 12.92 acres in the established Flowers Plantation community, home to more than 45 neighborhoods and 5,000 homeowners, Watson at Flowers Plantation will feature 10 luxury homes on approximately 1-acre homesites within a gated cul-de-sac. Many homesites offer three-car garages and basements, and the total community value is expected to exceed $10 million. Fischer Homes is pleased to partner with J&J Flowers Finch on Watson at Flowers Plantation.

“Watson at Flowers Plantation is the ideal setting for our first community in the Raleigh area,” said Steve Whaley, Market President for Fischer Homes Raleigh Division. “From the natural surroundings to the unmatched amenities, this location supports the connected, active lifestyle today’s homebuyers value most.”

Fischer Homes is accelerating its growth, with more communities planned as the company deepens its regional footprint. With 1,200 homesites in the Triangle region, Fischer Homes is well positioned to meet rising demand for new housing.

Comfort & Convenience

Prospective homebuyers choose from the Masterpiece Collection of single-family floor plans, selected by the builder’s design team. Designed with today’s buyers in mind, each home will feature thoughtful architecture, functional layouts and high-quality finishes.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown Raleigh, the community is convenient to NC-42 and US-70 Business and is minutes from shopping, dining and entertainment both within Flowers Plantation and in nearby downtown Clayton. Flowers Crossroads, the development’s commercial center, is accessible by private and public streets and sidewalks. Popular attractions include Publix, Harris Teeter and other shops.

Directly across from the East Triangle YMCA, the community offers walkability and golf-cart access to amenities including fitness facilities, resort-style pools, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, athletic fields and a playground. The larger Flowers Plantation community encourages an active, outdoor-focused lifestyle, with more than 35 miles of paved walking trails, lakes and green space. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy proximity to the four-mile Clayton River Walk on the Neuse, Riverwood Golf Club and East Clayton Community Park. Weekend getaways are also within easy reach, with the North Carolina coast about two hours away and the Blue Ridge Parkway within three.
