Prescott Manor: Custom Homes on Wooded Lots Off Stony Hill Road

Prescott Manor is a custom-home neighborhood off Harrison Ridge Road with a Wake Forest, NC 27587 mailing address. The homes are single-family builds from about 2021 on, by builders such as Braswell Custom Homes, Brandywine Homes, Cambridge Classic Homes, Cityscape Builders, ICG Homes, and Valenti Homes. Lots are mostly about two-thirds of an acre to just over an acre, many with wooded buffers, and the neighborhood is laid out around a pond and protected green space. Two details many listing sites get wrong or skip: listings show the community outside Wake Forest town limits, and the MLS shows Wakefield schools (North Forest Pines Elementary, Wakefield Middle, and Wakefield High), not Heritage. Wegmans, Joyner Park, and downtown Wake Forest are each about 10 to 12 minutes away, and RDU is about 25. Compare with Medfield Estates, Bella Casa, or Cary homes for sale.

Topic What to know
Location Off Harrison Ridge Road in the Wake Forest, NC 27587 mailing area. Listing directions run from NC-98 West (Durham Highway) onto Stony Hill Road.
Home age Newer. The first homes were completed around 2021, and listings show build years from 2021 through 2026.
Home types Custom single-family homes only, roughly 3,400 to 4,800 square feet in current and recent listings. Most are 4 or 5 bedrooms, many with a main-level owner's suite, a bonus or recreation room, and a 3-car garage.
Lots Mostly about 0.6 to 0.95 acre in recent listings, with a few larger cul-de-sac lots (one at about 1.5 acres). Many back to wooded buffers or protected green space.
Pond and green space A community pond (some listings mention a fountain) and protected green space. There is no HOA clubhouse or pool, so this is a privacy and lot-size neighborhood, not an amenity neighborhood.
HOA Yes. MLS data shows about $960 to $1,272 per year (roughly $106 per month at the high end), with the association managed by PPM, Inc. Listings describe dues as covering items like storm water maintenance and insurance. Confirm the current amount and coverage for the specific address.
Builders Listings name custom builders including Braswell Custom Homes, Brandywine Homes, Cambridge Classic Homes, Cityscape Builders, ICG Homes, and Valenti Homes. Builder and finish level vary by lot.
Water and sewer Listings show community or public water. Several homes list a septic system instead of public sewer, so ask about septic details early.
Town limits and zoning One Prescott Manor listing is marked "not within city limits" with Wake County R-40W zoning, which would mean no Wake Forest town tax. Confirm the jurisdiction for any address.
Taxes Recent listings show annual tax bills of about $7,600 to $8,400 on homes priced from about $1.3 million to $1.6 million. Wake County's adopted FY2027 rate is 53.71 cents per $100 of value. Confirm the tax jurisdiction and fire district for any home.
Schools The MLS lists North Forest Pines Elementary, Wakefield Middle, and Wakefield High (the Wakefield schools have Raleigh addresses). Confirm the assignment for any home with Wake County Public School System (WCPSS).
Recent sales and prices Current list prices run about $1.25 million to $1.575 million, and recent resales have closed from about $1.1 million to about $1.68 million. See the Market Snapshot below for current sold-price and days-on-market data.

What Makes Prescott Manor Different

Many nearby communities lead with a pool, a clubhouse, or a gate. Prescott Manor leads with the lot. It is a newer, builder-driven neighborhood of custom homes on roughly half-acre to acre-plus wooded lots around a pond, with a small HOA, no pool to pay for, and a short drive to Wegmans, Joyner Park, and the Wakefield schools.

Prescott Manor Features Worth Knowing About


A low-key HOA with no amenity fees to carry. MLS data shows annual dues of roughly $960 to $1,272, and listings show no association amenities. Dues are listed as covering things like storm water maintenance, grounds, and insurance, not a pool or clubhouse.

Lots big enough to matter. Recent listings run about 0.6 to 0.95 acre, with cul-de-sac lots up to about 1.5 acres, and many back to wooded buffers or protected green space. That is room for a pool, a fire pit, and a real yard. One recent listing has a private pool, spa, and fire pit.

A pond community. Listings describe a serene pond community with a year-round pond. One Perry Bluff Drive listing mentions water and fountain views, protected woodlands, and green common space.

Real custom builders, not one plan book. Braswell Custom Homes, Brandywine Homes, Cambridge Classic Homes, Cityscape Builders, ICG Homes, and Valenti Homes all show up in listings, so floor plans and finishes change from street to street. Recent homes include main-level owner's suites, butler's pantries, screened porches (one with a stone fireplace), and upstairs game rooms with en-suite bedrooms.

Septic and community water. Several Prescott Manor homes list a septic system instead of public sewer, with community water. If you are coming from a city neighborhood, I walk you through septic inspections, tank location, and upkeep before you write an offer.

The schools are the Wakefield schools, not Heritage. Despite the Wake Forest mailing address, the MLS lists North Forest Pines Elementary, Wakefield Middle, and Wakefield High, all with Raleigh addresses. Some sites say Heritage, so confirm any specific address with WCPSS before you buy.

A Wake Forest address with county jurisdiction. One listing is marked outside city limits with Wake County R-40W zoning, which can mean no Wake Forest town property tax. That can move a tax bill more than most buyers expect, so confirm it by parcel.

Hasentree is nearby, but separate. One listing describes a Prescott Manor home as just around the corner from Hasentree, the gated Tom Fazio-designed club community off NC-98 (about 6 minutes by car to the clubhouse). Club membership is separate from owning a home here, and the club lists non-resident social memberships. Prescott Manor itself has no gate and no club requirement.

Everyday convenience, 10 to 12 minutes out. Wegmans (opened on Ligon Mill Road in 2021), Harris Teeter, and E. Carroll Joyner Park, with its 1,000-seat lawn amphitheater and 3 miles of paved trails, are each about 10 to 11 minutes by car. Downtown Wake Forest is about 12.

Water nearby. The town-owned Wake Forest Reservoir allows paddle boats, electric-motor boats, and fishing with a permit, and has a 1.6-mile soft trail. Falls Lake State Recreation Area has boat ramps at Beaverdam and Highway 50, with a parking fee on some weekends and in summer.

A long-term road upgrade on the horizon. NCDOT plans to convert Capital Boulevard (US-1) to a non-tolled, controlled-access highway. Construction on the I-540 to Burlington Mills Road segments is scheduled for 2031, and dates can change.

Buying in Prescott Manor: Resale, Spec Home, or Build

Prescott Manor is a newer neighborhood, so you will usually be choosing between a recent resale, a builder's spec home, or a lot to build on. Each one comes with different questions, and the septic system and tax jurisdiction matter more here than in most Triangle neighborhoods. Here is how I walk buyers and sellers through it.

Path What it looks like What to ask me first
Recent resale A home built from 2021 on that has already changed hands. Landscaping is in, and you can compare it with recent sales on the same street. The septic inspection and pumping history, the survey, any builder warranty that transfers, and the tax jurisdiction.
Spec or new construction A builder-owned home, listed before or just after completion. Listings in 2025 and 2026 name builders such as Brandywine, ICG, Valenti, and Cityscape. What upgrades are included, how the final price compares with list, and what closing incentives exist. Some current listings have been on the market for most of a year or longer, so ask what price movement looks like.
Build on an open lot Marketing materials describe about 72 homesites and a short list of custom builders. Whether any open lots remain, and who controls them, changes by the month. Who owns the remaining lots, which builders are approved, what the architectural review requires, and what a septic design adds to the budget.
Selling a home here Pricing depends heavily on lot, builder, finish level, and septic setup, and there are few direct comps. A neighborhood average can miss the mark. How I price using nearby sold and active homes, and what to fix before you list.

Why Buy or Sell in Prescott Manor With a Local Agent

Prescott Manor does not trade like a typical Wake Forest neighborhood. Lot size, builder, septic setup, and the tax jurisdiction behind the address all change what a home is worth, and with a limited number of sales to compare, a neighborhood average can mislead you. I can compare Prescott Manor with nearby Wake Forest and North Raleigh alternatives, walk through septic and tax questions with you, and price a home based on what buyers are paying for that lot, builder, and finish level. If you are selling, ask me for a pricing plan before you list.
