In the spring of 1971, Jack Carlton Humphreys and his wife Bonnie were on a road trip to see friends in Arkansas. They stopped to visit friends at Lake Eufaula. When they saw the Longtown Creek portion of the lake (not far from where Carlton Landing is located today), Jack took in the clear water and rolling wooded hills from an empty hillside lot. “Bonnie,” he said, “I can see our grandkids playing in the sand and boating on this water. This lake is a special place.”
In 2008, Jack and Bonnie’s grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Grant and Jen Humphreys, hired Duany Plater-Zyberk, world-renowned town planners known for places like Seaside and Rosemary Beach, Florida, to plan Carlton Landing. The request was simple: create an enchanting place to foster a strong sense of community and nourish people – mind, body and spirit.
Today, you’ll find a community where you can get to the cafe, the pool, church, school, the beach, or a restaurant within a short walk from home. Along the way, you’ll pass neighbors you know and homes you love, rooted in traditional architecture harkened back to our agrarian roots.
Throughout, we’ve used green building practices in the creation of energy-efficient homes to protect our shoreline and keep the natural world healthy and beautiful for generations to come.
