Willowbend’s unique history started in 1975 with a desire to create a prized location of homes that offered buyers their choice of large wooded home sites or open spaced properties. Its location was close enough to be convenient, but far enough away to offer privacy and solitude. With it’s official groundbreaking by the Cavalear real estate group. The 127 home sites proved to be very popular, and by 1984, ninety percent of the home sites were sold, developed and occupied.
