Custom accessory dwelling units for homeowners in Raeford, Red Springs, and surrounding communities.
Request a Free ConsultationHoke County is our home base — ADU's of the Sandhills is headquartered in Raeford, and we know this county inside and out. With approximately 55,000 residents across 18,000 households, Hoke County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the Sandhills region, with 15 to 20 percent population growth over the last decade.
Much of that growth has been driven by Fort Bragg spillover and families seeking more affordable housing with larger lots. Newer housing stock — many homes built in the 2000s during the growth boom — means cleaner garage conversion opportunities and more modern infrastructure for ADU hookups.
Hoke County has a significant Lumbee community with deep multi-generational family traditions, and military families from Fort Bragg make up a large portion of the population. Lots here typically range from 0.5 to 1 acre, giving homeowners substantially more room to work with than the tighter suburban lots in Fayetteville.

Rapidly developing areas near Raeford benefit from better infrastructure, which can reduce site preparation costs compared to more rural parcels. Rural lots may require grading, land clearing, and longer utility runs. The advantage of newer homes is fewer upgrade surprises — modern electrical panels and plumbing are already sized to accommodate additions more easily.

Military families from Fort Bragg build ADUs for flexible multi-generational housing that adapts to deployment schedules and PCS transitions. The Lumbee community in Hoke County has a strong cultural tradition of keeping extended family on the same property — ADUs formalize this in a code-compliant, permanent structure.

Municipal sewer is available in and around Raeford, but rural areas of Hoke County rely on septic systems. Before building an ADU on a septic property, you must confirm that your existing system has capacity for the additional dwelling — or budget for a septic expansion or new system. Well water is common outside Raeford town limits.

Fort Bragg drives consistent rental demand across Hoke County, and the available rental housing stock is limited. An ADU positioned as a rental unit fills a genuine gap in this market — particularly for military families seeking short-term housing near the base. The short commute from Raeford to Fort Bragg adds rental value.
