What is the Best Corn Maze Near Raleigh?

Gross Farms offers Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

Looking for a superb corn maze near Raleigh?  Gross Farms is well worth a visit!

Gross Farms has an absolutely huge Corn Maze, along with fields of pumpkins ready to pick.

Located just 4 miles south of Sanford, it's an easy 30-45 minute drive from most Triangle destinations. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2011 Corn Maze has three different puzzles, with over 5 miles of winding pathways.   It's noted as the largest in the area, and I believe it!

We visited Gross Farms recently, and had a great time.

The corn stalks are tall and full, and the paths are neat and clean, with plenty of room for strollers for the younger kids. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year offered an extra challenge.   Not only are maze-walkers encouraged to punch their cards at each "punching station" throughout the maze, but the adventurous can also solve a mystery!

Farmer Joe is missing, and it appears to be foul play.

This "Clue" game allows elimination of suspects at each well-hidden station throughout the maze.

Young adventurers will discover whether it was the Llama, Goat, Dog, Chicken, Bull, Pig, or Duck who decided to detour the farmer. 

We solved the mystery, but we're not telling!

 

 

After the corn maze, the kids couldn't wait to hit the playground area.

This is one of the best playgrounds in the area, with a huge Pirate Ship, a Fort, a Train, and even a toddler tricycle race track, with lots of sturdy tricycles in great shape and ready to roll.

 I'm not sure what it's called, but there's also an excellent trampoline-like jumping activity - it's about 15' wide and 30' long, and Mom and Dad can jump along with the little ones.

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin Patch at Gross Farms

We had a nice view of the rolling pumpkin patches from the Hay Ride.  

Gross Farms offers one of the better hay rides I've been on too, with a recorded narrative that was interesting and a little easier to hear than some. 

We learned that the Gross family has been farming at this location for five generations, and some cool facts about asparagus and other crops. 

 

 

The pumpkin crop included some unusual colorings and shapes, and plenty of gourds too.

Pumpkin carvers can choose from pumpkins still in the field and on the vine, or from a nice selection already piled together.

There were several great places for family pumpkin photos too.

 

 

 

 

Picnic Grounds and Refreshments

Hungry? 

Plenty of options are available!   Here's a photo of their "Jelly Barn" with lots of fresh, local preserves and jellies. 

There's a full concession stand with hot chocolate, snacks, and other goodies.

If you're bringing a picnic, Gross Farms offers two huge, covered picnic areas with nice tables.

And on Saturday when we went, there was also a Chick Fil'A stand on site.

Ask your real estate agent what district number the property resides in.  Or click on the link below to enter the address and find out the tax district:  Lee County Tax Records site.

This chart shows the 2009/2010 Lee County property tax rates.  If you are relocating to a home inside a town, the tax rate will be slightly higher.  If your new home will be outside of town boundaries, the tax rate can be lower.

Check the Tax Rate Tables for the Property Tax Rate for Your District or Town in Lee County NC

The county rate gets combined with either the fire district rate or the town rate, depending on where the home for sale is located. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Do I Figure Out What These Lee County Property Tax Numbers Mean?

It's not as confusing as it looks.  The tax rates are based on the assessed value of the home, not the asking price. 

• Divide the assessed value by 100.

• Multiply the result by the combined rate on the right side of the table.

• The result will be your yearly property tax bill, as of 2009.

Where Should I Live to Get the Lowest Property Tax Rate?

As you can see, a City of Sanford location will be the most expensive property tax location in Lee County.  Best bargains are in the variety of fire districts outside of city limits, but property tax rates are very similar amongst the fire districts - thus it won't cost much more to live in West Sanford versus Carolina Trace. 

What County Will My New Home Be In?

When looking at properties, don't take the "city" address for granted - you could be in a different county, with different tax rates, depending on where exactly the property is located.

How Do I Find Out the Assessed Value of My Lee County NC Home?

If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Lee County Tax Records site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property.  

What if the Assessed Value of my Lee County NC new home is Different From the Sales Price?

If there is a discrepancy between the assessed value and the asking price of the home or lot, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you.  Assessed values are not always aligned well with market values, as assessments are often made several years apart.

to Offer New Discount for Military and Veteran homebuyers

From there, the cost just keeps going down, from closing cost discounts to a huge variety of exceptional pricing for many of the amenities we build into our homes."

"As an eight-year military veteran in the U.S. Army, I know first-hand the sacrifice our military men and women make to serve and defend this great country of ours," said Kappler.

Specially Adapted Housing - Top 10 Questions

How to Get Started in the Fort Bragg and Pope AFB Area

Veterans and servicemembers who have suffered a service-connected disability have access to a government grant to help purchase, retrofit, or build a home that can accomodate their needs. 

The Specially Adapted Housing Grant offers a maximum amount of $50,000, and can be used up to three separate times. 

Here's some of the quick facts, and how to apply for the Specially Adapted Housing Grant in the Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force Base area. 

Which veterans or servicemembers may be eligible for the grant?

The Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant is available to servicemembers or veterans who have a service-connected permanent and total disability, which can include:

A.   The loss, or loss of use, of both lower extremities such as to preclude locomotion without the aid of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair.

B.   Blindness in both eyes having only light perception, plus loss or loss of use of one lower extremity.

C.   The loss, or loss of use, of one lower extremity together with

(1)  residuals of organic disease or injury, or

(2)  the loss or loss of use of one upper extremity.

Item (1) and Item (2) above must so affect the functions of balance or propulsion as to preclude locomotion without the aid of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair.

D.   The loss, or loss of use, of both upper extremities, so as to preclude use of the arms at or above the elbows.

  

How can a veteran or servicemember find out if they are eligible for the grant, and who determines basic eligibility?

The current or most recent VA Rating Decision issued by the Veterans Service Center of jurisdiction establishes the veteran's or servicemember's basic eligibility for a Specially Adapted Housing Grant.  The VA Rating Decision is subject to review and revision.

What other requirements must be filled for a veteran or servicemember to be able to recieve this grant?

 a. It must be medically feasible for the veteran or servicemember to reside in the house.

 b. The house must be adapted to be suitable to the veteran's or servicemember's needs for living purposes.

 c. It must be financially feasible for the veteran or servicemember to acquire the house, with the assistance provided by the grant.

How soon after the injury or incident must the veteran or servicemember apply for a Specially Adapted Housing Grant?  Is there a deadline? 

There is no time limit on the use of the grant.  We have worked with servicemembers who have just been wounded in Iraq, as well as veterans who now have disabilities as a result of actions in the Korean War. 

The grant is "up to" $50,000.  How does that work?  How much specially adapted housing assistance can a veteran or servicemember receive?

An eligible veteran or servicemember may receive a VA grant of not more than 50 percent of the cost of a specially adapted house, up to the aggregate maximum amount allowable by law.  Thus an $80,000 home will only be eligible for a $40,000 grant. 

How many times may a veteran or servicemember receive specially adapted housing assistance?

Public Law 109-233 authorizes up to three usages of grant benefits.  If future changes to the governing law provide for an increase in the maximum grant amount, veterans or servicemembers who have not used the assistance available to them up to the allowable three times may be entitled to the increase in the maximum grant amount at that time.

Are there restrictions?  How may the grant be used?

An eligible veteran or servicemember has the option to use up to the full amount of the grant under any one of the following plans:

Plan (1).  The veteran or servicemember may elect to construct a home on land to be acquired for that purpose.

Plan (2).  The veteran or servicemember may build a home on land already owned if it is suitable for specially adapted housing.

Plan (3).  The veteran or servicemember may remodel an existing home if it can be made suitable for specially adapted housing.

Plan (4).  When the veteran or servicemember has already acquired a specially adapted home (without the assistance of a VA grant), the grant may be applied against the unpaid principal mortgage balance of the home.

 What adaptations are considered necessary for specially adapted housing?

 There are many requirements for a home to be considered qualified for specially adapted housing.  Some may be waived, others may not.  Each situation is to be approved by the Specially Adapted Housing representative through the VA office. 

How To Apply For Benefits

Where does a veteran or servicemember go to find out if he/she is eligible for a Specially Adapted Housing Grant?

Any VA office, but preferably the VA office where the veteran's or servicemember's claim records are located.  A determination will be made as to basic eligibility and whether it is medically feasible for the veteran or servicemember to reside in a specially adapted home.

For the Raleigh/Durham/Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force Base area, these are the local Specially Adapted Housing Agents.

The process won't be quick, and will require good documentation.  It may take 30 days or longer to have the initial application approved.  Once the grant itself is approved, you and your builder or contractor will need to submit floor plans, drawings, schematics, location of the home, and other paperwork describing the home to be built or changes to be made.  After these are submitted to the VA, it generally takes another 60 days for approval, before construction can begin.
