New Post Oak Tritt Subdivision Under Construction

The new homes are being built across from an East Cobb historical landmark.

One of East Cobb's newest housing developments is going up right across the road from one of its oldest log-cabin landmarks. 

Readers have been asking about what's going to be built on land fronting Post Oak Tritt Road near McPherson Road. 

We've got an answer: 

It's a new subdivision called Hadley Walk, and it will include 16 homes on 9.6 acres, with prices starting in the 700s.

Brooks Chadwick Capital, an East Cobb-based real estate investment firm, acquired the land in September for $1.5 million from Kenneth Clary, according to Sheri Kell of COMM360, a Marietta communications firm.

Right now, the land is being cleared by construction crews. The new community is located just east of Tritt Elementary School and also will be part of the Hightower Trail Middle School and Pope High School districts. 

What's notable about the location is that it's right across Post Oak Tritt from the Power-Jackson Cabin, a rare one-room log house in the area (the historical marker is right on the roadside).

That marker was posted in 2009, shortly after the Cobb Community Development Agency began erecting markers around the county with $50,000 in funding from the Cobb Board of Commissioners. 

The Power-Jackson Cabin, which isn't quite visible from the road, was built in 1840. After Martha Jane Jackson, the daughter of William Power and the widow of Jeptha Jackson, died in 1924, the 105 acres of land around the present-day marker was sold for $1.8 million. 

In the first of the attached aerial maps attached, the large building to the west of the new development is Tritt Elementary. 

The second map, a more close-in view, shows the close proximity of Hadley Walk to the Chimney Springs community.
