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. It’s official groundbreaking was commenced 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.
The property containing Willowbend runs from Roachton Road north directly to River Road lots to the West. The land that now makes up Willowben was formerly part of the George Marshall Briley Estate (199 acres).
The majority of home sites are contained within off street lots, 22 of the properties however are located directly off of River Road (State Rt. 64).
