In 1895, James Walker Tufts purchased 500 acres (200 ha), and eventually purchased an additional 5,500 acres (2,200 ha), of land for approximately $1.25 per acre in the North Carolina Sandhills, with the vision of building a "health resort for people of modest means".[13] Tufts retained Frederick Law Olmsted to design the village, which features curving lanes and a picturesque central green.[10][14]
