I have read with interest all the responses in reference to White Gables. I am familiar with Saussy Burbank, as I lived in Charlotte, NC for many years. I currently live in New York (past 9 years) and am looking forward to moving back to Carolinas. I have received a brochure on White Gables and it truly looks beautiful. I am an older individual so this would be my pre-retirement home. I have a couple of questions, though. Does anyone know if any single older individuals (50's) have homes in the community? I am interested in either the Bungolow series or one of the smaller Classic series. I don't want to have to maintain a yard, etc. Do the homes have screened in porches? If not, does the HOA allow screened porches? What about a fenced yard? Thanks for any help you can give.

I know that they have fenced back yards, but not sure about screened porches, anyone else have any input?

Thanks for the information on the fenced yards. Now all I need is a screened porch and I would be very happy!

I do not have a copy of the covenants and restrictions for White Gables, but of the last 71 homes that are currently on the market or have sold in the past 6 months, none had screened porches although fences are quite common as you can see from this aerial map of White Gables.

Joe, thanks for your post and the link for the aerial map. It does give me another perspective of the community. Your right, there doesn't appear to be screened in porches; however, as long as fences are allowed that would work. I have a dog and a cat. The screened porch would be nice so the pets could feel they are outside but I wouldn't have to worry about my cat or my dog getting out.

The model home in White Gables currently has a screened porch on the back of the home so I would assume that screening in a porch is allowed.

Keep in mind that this aireal photo is VERY old, about 3 years....a lot of what shows up in the photo as dirt is now occupid homesites....Screened in porches are allowed, but are only available on a few plans. The yards are relatively small, so depending on the footprint of each plan, may or may not fit...however, most homes have front porches which serve as sitting areas, a "greet your neighbor" area...Fences are allowed, although they must conform to neighborhood guidelines.....the majority of them are white vinyl fences....only allowed in the rear yards...

a personal request. My horses live adjacent to white gables. I understand that my horses are cute and nice and everything. However I want to make it known that I can not have people feeding my chesnut and white paint mare. She is overweight and I don't want her to founder. A foundering horse is never a good thing. It may result in having to put her down. I came close to having to flush her stomach out because we believed she was choking on a carrot.~DESCRIPTION OF FOUNDER~Despite intensive investigation, founder is still a poorly understood disease. Though easy to diagnose and usually treatable, this disease has the potential to result in permanent severe lameness making euthanasia the most humane option. When a horse founders it causes them to go lame due to lamanitis. The back feet may be involved too, but the front feet bear 50% more weight than the rear so they usually hurt more. With both feet being sore the horse's steps shorten and become slower making the horse looks stiff. At rest he will prop his front feet out in front of him while leaning back on his rear legs to help decrease the weight on the front. Frequently, he will shift weight back and forth from one front foot to the other. As the pain worsens he may start spending a lot of time laying down. The Hammock
Founder is a disease of the laminae of the foot. To understand founder you must understand what the laminae are. As weight is transferred down the leg to the foot it does not get transferred directly down through the bottom of the sole. The foot (coffin) bone is suspended from the hoof wall by the laminae. The result is, weight transfers to the walls of the hoof, then down the walls to the ground. This puts weight bearing on the toughest structure, the wall, and helps reduce concussion on the relatively sensitive sole. To help see this relationship think of a man in a hammock. The man represents the toe bone and the weight of the horse on that leg. The hammock and ropes represents the laminae. The trees, to which it is tied, is the hoof wall. The tree supports the whole weight of the man by way of the hammock. The Broken Hammock
When a horse develops founder, the hammock (laminae) begins to weaken and fray. When the founder is severe, the hammock (laminae) breaks, dumping the man (toe bone) onto the ground. In severe founder, the toe bone comes through the sole on the bottom of the hoof.
