Luxury Single-Family Homes on Large Wooded Lots in Fuquay-Varina, NC

Tucked among tall trees and rolling countryside, luxury single-family homes in Magnolia Acres offer something most neighborhoods can’t: privacy, nature, and the freedom to build a home that truly matches your lifestyle.

In this new community, you’ll find oversized wooded lots, impressive floor plans with basements, and the quality Caruso Homes is known for, just minutes from Fuquay-Varina and close to Raleigh.

Here’s everything you need to know about the homes, the perks, and how to make one yours.

Why Magnolia Acres Is Different from Other Communities

Most new neighborhoods cram homes together with barely enough yard for a grill. At Magnolia Acres every lot is wooded and generously sized, ranging from ¾ to a full acre. You’ll have room for a garden, a fire pit, a playset, a deck, and definitely a grill!

These homes are perfect for anyone who wants a little outdoor elbow room without giving up city access. The tree-lined backyards offer quiet mornings, starlit nights, and the kind of privacy that’s hard to find so close to Raleigh.

And, if you're looking for more room inside, Magnolia Cove delivers that too! Magnolia Cove is also one of the only communities to offer floor plans with basements--perfect for entertaining, family recreation, or even multi-generational living. It's extra space that adapts to your lifestyle, whether you're hosting game night or giving the in-laws their own private retreat.

A Smarter Location for Work, Play, and Peace of Mind

Magnolia Acres sits just 15 minutes south of Fuquay-Varina, giving you easy access to the lively restaurants and boutique shops in a vibrant downtown area without the traffic and noise. Raleigh’s not far either (about 45 minutes), making this an ideal spot for commuters who want a quieter home base or remote workers who crave peace and space.

Weekends are just as convenient. The community backs up to Raven Rock State Park perfect for an adventure with the kids or just a quiet morning surrounded by nature. Enjoy miles of hiking, biking and horseback trails along the Cape Fear River which also offers paddling, fishing and plenty of scenic spots for picnicking.

Even better, this community is in Harnett County, where the property taxes are significantly lower than in Wake County. That means you’ll keep more of your money without compromising on location, lifestyle, or comfort.

Flexible Floor Plans That Fit Your Life

Choose from six thoughtfully designed floor plans, including two brand-new designs. Every plan offers a highly desired basement along with hundreds of other options to expand and personalize your home. Whether you need space for aging parents, frequent guests, or a quiet office that doesn’t double as the living room, you’ll find a layout that works for you.

Here are a few crowd favorites:

The Catawba Floor Plan

The Catawba offers up to 4 bedrooms and includes a spacious open-concept kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry, and optional butler’s pantry. The kitchen flows into the breakfast room and family room with an optional fireplace, while a large upstairs loft can be converted into a fourth bedroom. You’ll also find a luxurious owner’s suite with a walk-in closet. Upgrade to a screened porch, a 3-car garage and a large basement rec room with a wet bar.

The Roanoke Floor Plan

The Roanoke features a sought-after first-floor primary suite, an open great room, and a large kitchen with an island and walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the layout includes a generous loft and optional game rooms for more recreational space. The optional basement offers a theater room and outdoor spaces (like a deck or screened porch) give you even more room to relax.

The Statesville Floor Plan

The Statesville is the largest plan available in Magnolia Acres, with options to expand up to 5,700 square feet. It includes a formal dining room, private library, and an in-law suite on the main level, along with an open kitchen and great room that anchor the back of the home. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, a spacious loft, and a primary suite with two oversized walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. Add a finished third level with another bedroom. Still room for more in the spacious basement where you can add a 7th bedroom with a full bath.

No matter which floor plan you fall in love with, Caruso’s process makes it easy to personalize your home with upgrades like spa baths, gourmet kitchens, and even basements on select lots. So, whatever your lifestyle looks like, you can build a home that fits it exactly.
