a story of place
Today, after more than two decades of innovative development, The Pinehills is an established and thriving community. And the best part about this story is that there’s so much more to come. The future is full of promise.
we invite you to be part of it

We continue to lead the region in sales With an average sales volume of 160 homes per year, The Pinehills continues to outsell every other masterplanned community in Massachusetts. Proof that a community built on the principles of sustainability and great design is a community where people want to be.

we invented a fun way to get acquainted with a new place Before there was such a fully realized place as The Pinehills, there was The Summerhouse. This wonderful interpretation of a rambling New England country house has charmed visitors from the start. To this day, The Summerhouse is the gateway to The Pinehills experience. It’s where people begin their journey. Where they learn all the intriguing things about living here. And where they return time and time again for a cup of coffee, a warm cookie and a friendly welcome. It’s also where many fall in love with this community.

over 2,900 families now call the pinehills home What’s also remarkable is that 22% of our residents relocated from out of state. Thanks to the ongoing focus of industry, academic and popular media attention, The Pinehills has widespread reach and appeal. Two examples: The Pinehills was selected as the site for the HGTV Green Home 2010. And, more recently, The National Association of Home Builders named The Pinehills the “2015 Community of the Year” in the Best of American Living Awards. This kind of recognition has helped The Pinehills grow into a well-established, vibrant community with a variety of boutiques, eateries and services, ten miles of trails, and thousands of trees. In terms of home sales, we are well beyond the half-way mark. And yet there’s still plenty of room to grow.

the pinehills has created More than $1.5 billion In total value In a relatively short time, The Pinehills has become an engine of prosperity. Now exceeding $1.59 billion in total assessed value, the community stands out as the region’s most fiscally favorable mixed-use development—from both a cost-to-revenue perspective and in terms of net dollars returned to the Town of Plymouth on an annual basis.*

we continue to expand our offering of home choices And, consequently, we are broadening our spectrum of homebuyers. Choices now include condominium townhomes, three types of cottages, portfolio homes, custom homes, luxury apartments, and 55+ homes. New home prices range from the $500s to well over $2 million. More diversity makes for a more robust community—a real village—and broader opportunities for builders to serve an even broader marketplace.

the village green Is a regional destination Overlooking a classic tree lawn, The Pinehills Village Green continues to grow as a vibrant economic and social center. Residents and visitors alike are drawn to this picturesque place, with its charming shops and a variety of restaurants, its professional services, fresh food market, beer garden and U.S. Post Office. It has emerged as a popular regional gathering spot. In fact, two thirds of the people who come here to shop and dine live outside The Pinehills. And thousands come out for seasonal celebrations and art festivals.
15
more visitors more business People come from far and wide to shop at The Market and to dine at the Rye Tavern, named “one of the great farm-to-table restaurants in the U.S.” They come to enjoy a cappuccino at the café and to find the perfect pairing at Long Ridge Wine & Spirits. And now they come to play, stay and immerse themselves in the exceptional hospitality of Mirbeau Inn & Spa. In other words, The Pinehills has become more than just a wonderful community. It’s a true destination.

a world-class getaway in your own back yard All the more reason for an escape to The Pinehills: the award-winning hospitality of Mirbeau Inn & Spa. Designed in the style of a romantic French country manor (including Monet-inspired gardens), the 50-room resort has drawn international recognition and has become an important New England destination. Guests come from all over to enjoy the Bistro & Wine Bar, The Garden Bar, accommodations for weddings, corporate meetings and other special occasions. Plus Spa Mirbeau with its 19 treatment rooms, resting area and Aqua Terrace. All of this has added up to many awards for Mirbeau, including being named one of the “Top 100 Resorts in the World” by Condé Nast Traveler.

Top-tier amenities are built in Residents of The Pinehills tend to be active and outgoing. Depending on the season, you’ll find them walking the ten miles of paved trails that thread through the community. Kayaking and canoeing on the scenic Great Island Pond. Or going to The Stonebridge Club to swim, play tennis, work out, practice yoga or take part in an endless array of social and educational activities. Membership at the Village Racquet & Fitness Club affords even more choices with an indoor pool, tennis courts and fitness center. If that’s not enough, there are always the 2,000 acres of surrounding natural open space waiting to be explored. Not to mention about 140 different hiking trails within a 15-minute drive.
20
and then there’s golf The Pinehills is home to the Pinehills Golf Club and two of New England’s five-star public courses: the Nicklaus and the Rees Jones. (The latter is ranked among the “Top 100 Courses You Can Play” by Golf magazine.) Pinehills Golf Club provides a picturesque setting for social gatherings and planned events. And at the private Old Sandwich Golf Club, members have the rare privilege of playing on one of the most prestigious courses in the nation. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, it’s currently ranked #46 in the United States and #90 in the world among Golf magazine’s “Top 100 Courses.” All together, these courses host over 70,000 rounds of golf annually, as well as many corporate and charitable tournaments—attracting a steady stream of highly qualified, lifestyle-aligned visitors to our neighborhood.

the pinehills is inspiring new ideas at Harvard And MIT (among others) The Pinehills is a living laboratory for the study of innovative land planning, site planning, architecture and marketing. The community is studied by various urban planning and real estate programs, a number of distinguished groups such as MIT AgeLab, Harvard, Tufts and Skanska, as well as The American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute, the National Association of Home Builders, municipal planning boards and conservation commissions. The Pinehills continues to host a series of popular “salons,” drawing top homebuilders and bankers from around the region. These informal gatherings have featured leaders from academia, government and industry—beginning with the late Dr. Karl “Chip” Case of the Case-Schiller Index and going on to include Ivy Zelman of Zelman & Associates, Joseph Coughlin, founder of the MIT AgeLab, and J. Walker Smith, Executive Chairman of The Futures Company. They all come here to speak, exchange ideas and find inspiration in one of the nation’s premier models of successful, sustainable placemaking. 24

because Plymouth rocks Known for its unique place in American history— not to mention a certain rock—Plymouth is also a modern-day, South Shore hot spot. Located 45 miles from Boston and 7 miles from Cape Cod, Plymouth nicely balances work and play. From all over the region, people come to Plymouth to browse the boutiques and galleries. Sample the creative cuisine. Stop for a tour (and taste) at the local microbreweries and winery. Enjoy a concert by the Plymouth Philharmonic. And relax amid the natural beauty of Plymouth’s state parks and beaches.
27
“as of right” zoning streamlines the process Thanks in part to a long, productive working relationship with The Pinehills, the Town of Plymouth has implemented an innovative “As of Right” zoning process that expedites building permits in as few as 30 days, and neighborhood approval in about 60 days. The Pinehills is already approved for 3,065 homes and 1.3 million square feet of mixed-use commercial and retail space. As a result, the community is well-positioned for future growth.
28
more than 100 awards (like community of the year) The Pinehills is the recipient of many of the building industry’s most coveted awards for quality and innovation in design, planning, sales and marketing. From the National Association of Home Builders: “2015 Community of the Year” “Best Smart Growth Community” “Best Master-Planned Community” “Home of the Year” “Best Green Home of the Year” From Builder magazine: “Grand Award, Mixed-Use Community” We’re also proud to have been selected as the site of Boston magazine’s Design Home in both 2016 and 2007 (the former raising a record-breaking $80,000 for Boston’s Children’s Hospital) as well as the site of the HGTV Green Home 2010.
