PREVIEW EVENT TO BE HELD SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2023.

CARLISLE, Pa., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning Charter Homes & Neighborhoods^®, reimagining how people live throughout Central and Western Pennsylvania for over 30 years, has announced Grange, a modern neighborhood with historic provenance located in Cumberland County's Middlesex Township in the Cumberland Valley School District. On a former dairy farm owned by The Stover Family who have farmed in the region for over 100 years, Grange will feature 45 acres of preserved land in the 167-acre neighborhood.

"When designing a neighborhood, we walk around the land and look for opportunities tell stories of what came before. By preserving spaces and natural features, Grange will be yet another special Charter destination where generations can thrive," said Rob Bowman, president of Charter Homes & Neighborhoods.

Exemplifying Charter's evolutionary approach to neighborhood design with a nostalgic nod to its agricultural legacy, Grange will offer multigenerational living design with acres of preserved spaces and gathering places throughout the neighborhood within walking distance from the homes. The Homestead at Grange will include the initial creation of 48 modern homes, including the preserved and restored family farmhouse and iconic silo. 

The Homestead will be surrounded by walking trails through The Meadow a four-acre gathering place with wild-flowers and pollinator houses. The Grove, a gathering place made up of century old trees some of which were planted by the first generation of The Stover Family to celebrate their wedding, will be activated for neighborhood events and special occasions. Stover Green will be a walkable park and central to a variety of neighborhood activities like summer movie nights, s'mores-making, pumpkin carving, holiday tree lightings, visits from Santa, and more, facilitating the creation of a lifetime of moments and memories, and furthering Charter's goal to make people and the places they live feel special. 

"For four generations, dairy farming has been a part of our family's legacy in the Carlisle area, now including my daughter who founded Destiny Dairy Bar which is adjacent to the Grange neighborhood," said Ann Shughart, representative of The Stover Family. "With this exciting new chapter, our family is grateful that through Charter's vision, many more generations of families to follow will get to enjoy this extraordinary land as we have."
