Chestnut Pond Homes in Simpsonville by a 3-Acre Pond

Chestnut Pond stands as one of Five Forks' premier gated communities, distinguished by its centerpiece 3-acre pond and network of scenic walking trails winding through mature hardwoods. Built exclusively between 2017 and 2025 by a select group of custom builders—including First Choice Custom Homes, Woodland Custom Homes, and Dunn Custom Builders—this intimate enclave of fewer than 60 homesites represents a rare combination of luxury craftsmanship and maintenance-free convenience.

Community Highlights

The community's defining feature extends beyond its tranquil pond setting to its fully maintenance-included HOA, which handles all lawn care, trash service, pond upkeep, and gate maintenance. This lock-and-leave lifestyle appeals to those seeking upscale living without weekend yard work obligations.

"Custom-built homes by premium builders on lots ranging from 0.16 to 0.46 acres, all surrounded by mature hardwoods and scenic walking trails"

Architectural consistency defines the streetscape: all-brick or brick-and-stone residences showcase open floor plans with coffered or tray ceilings, stone fireplaces, and site-finished hardwood flooring. Gourmet kitchens equipped with commercial-grade appliances (Thermador, Cafe'), quartzite or granite countertops, and oversized islands flow seamlessly into great rooms designed for entertaining. Main-level primary suites with spa-inspired baths and customized walk-in closets are standard, as are screened porches—many featuring their own stone fireplaces for year-round enjoyment.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Beyond the central pond and walking trails, the gated entrance provides 24/7 security and exclusivity. Homes typically feature three to four bedrooms, with most offering a main-level guest suite or office alongside the primary bedroom. Upstairs bonus rooms, loft spaces, and oversized walk-in attics provide exceptional flexibility and storage. Garages are often oversized with epoxy flooring and custom cabinetry.
