Winchester Homes will soon be constructing 23 townhouses on 5.24 acres along Seven Locks Road across from the Heights School in Potomac.

The steep, previously heavily wooded site has had just one small house on it until now. The developer has cleared trees in preparation for breaking ground for the townhouses. A sign on the property indicate the townhouses will be priced from $1 million.

In 1992, the Montgomery County Planning Board, in the Final Draft Potomac Subregion Master Plan, recommended acquisition of the property as an extension to Cabin John Regional Park, but the property owner objected and the County Council disapproved the Planning Board recommendation.

The property is adjacent to other townhouse developments, and by approval of all townhouses, the county was able to preserve a significant amount of forest, including specimen trees, on the back and edges of the property.
