History of the KGHOA

King’s Grant is a remarkable alliance of mankind and nature… Throughout the property, home sites are accented with dogwoods in spring and adorned with hollies in winter. It’s not unusual to see wild Canadian geese and mallards preening themselves on the lakeshores or clusters of turtles sunbathing on floating logs. It is, in fact, as close to nature as one can be while still within the city limits of Fayetteville.

From a Royal Land Grant In 1766, A Rich Scottish Heritage Comes Full Circle…

It was in the year of our lord 1766 when Colin Shaw first laid eyes on a very special tract of land. He and other loyal Scottish subjects had journeyed across the Atlantic and up the Cape Fear River to claim land grants awarded them by England’s King George III. Under the hand of the honorable William Tyron, Lieutenant Governor and Commander In Chief of the providence, Colin Shaw was given a 500 acre tract in What Sir Walter Raleigh called “the goodliest land” near the colonial settlement of Cross Creek, now known as Fayetteville. Adjoining grants went to the neighbors Frederick Gregg, Archibald McDuffie, Thomas Rutherford, and Alex McKay.

These men and their families became part of the thriving Scottish population which continued with many deep rooted traits and traditions… Among them a strong sense of family and a knack for retaining things of worth.

However, few things in this Scottish legacy have had more impact on the American way of life than a cherished recreational pastime… a game called golf.

Legend has it that in 1401, golf was banned in Scotland because it was more popular than archery practice. However, when King John IV was caught playing the game himself, the law was repealed and golf was allowed to flourish through the ages. Legend continues that the first golf ball ever hit in America was by Scotsman Alex Lagrain here in Cross Creek.

Now, over two centuries after Colin Shaw and his neighbors came here, the circle has become complete. Portions of these five original land grants have been joined together to form King’s Grant.

Today, others are recognizing the timeless merits of this special piece of land. The same 20-acre cypress lake recorded on surveyor’s maps dating back to the 1780s serves as a beautiful backdrop to some of the area’s finest homes… many, in fact, are reminiscent of the original colonial homes built around Cross Creek over 200 years ago.

The varied topography of King’s Grant offers an interesting selection of home sites. Homeowners can choose to live on cypress shaded lakeshores, rolling sandhills or in virgin pine forests… and if all of this weren’t enough, a beautiful golf course plays naturally throughout…
