BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A PROPERTY

Your neighborhood questions, answered.

Document summaries describe the sources reviewed. Confirm current amendments, fees and the rules for your exact lot.

The 1972 protective covenants describe an original 12-acre tract in Section 13, Township 12 South, Range 6 West and applicable recorded plats, Winston Volume 138, pages 644–649. The name alone does not establish coverage of every Rock Creek property.

Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
Not verified

Current association status, dues and special assessments have not been established. The age of the covenants does not establish that there is no association.

Neighborhood features

We are still verifying primary community information. Use the property notes below to explore the features reported for individual listings.

Building & ownership notes

The available document copies state:

  • The historical copy describes single-family residential use and a choice of one mobile home or one single-family dwelling per lot. That 1972 wording does not establish present permission for a particular parcel.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · §1 · Volume 138, pp. 644–645

  • Construction plans and building location are subject to Architectural Control Committee review under the original document.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · §2 · Volume 138, p. 645

  • Garages, storage buildings and boathouses are addressed separately from the primary residence. Confirm the exact proposed outbuilding under the applicable documents.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · §1 continuation · Volume 138, p. 645

  • The copy excludes the listed temporary trailers, tents and other temporary structures as residences. Read this separately from its historical mobile-home provision.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · §6 · Volume 138, p. 646

  • Sanitary arrangements and septic tanks are addressed under state and local health requirements.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · §12 · Volume 138, p. 647
Recorded document trail

Official record citations help identify the documents to review. Index entries alone do not establish their rules or current application to a lot. Use the county, instrument, book and page references to search and verify the records yourself.

  • The reviewed record is a historical covenant copy, not a current permitted-use certification. Match the original tract and plats to the offered parcel and check subsequent instruments.

    Rock Creek Estates protective covenants · Volume 138, pp. 644–649 · dated September 30, 1972 · filing stamp October 2, 1972 Winston County probate record search · Volume 138, pp. 644–649 · dated September 30, 1972 · filing stamp October 2, 1972
Before you buy: a property checklist
  • Does this parcel lie in the original described tract, and what later covenants or amendments apply?
  • Who currently exercises architectural review for this parcel?
  • What shoreline approvals or recorded boathouse, dock or slip rights accompany the property?
  • Who maintains the access road, and what shared maintenance costs apply?
  • Can the intended home and outbuildings meet current water, septic and site requirements?
