The Bell Tower Coming to Carlton Landing
Design, Inspiration, and the Story Behind It

·3 min read

If you’re planning a trip to Carlton Landing—or even just considering it—you’ve probably seen photos of the charming homes, walkable streets, and beautiful views of Lake Eufaula.
But what most people don’t realize is this:
you don’t fully understand Carlton Landing until you experience it in person.
And one of the best ways to do that?
A golf cart tour with local realtor Chris Ham.
A Carlton Landing golf cart tour is a guided, in-person experience where you explore the community alongside a knowledgeable local.
Led by Chris Ham, a full-time resident and realtor, these tours give you a behind-the-scenes look at:
The layout of Carlton Landing
Current amenities like pools, parks, and the marina
Future development plans (including restaurants, retail, and event spaces)
Real estate opportunities
The overall lifestyle and vision of the town
Unlike simply driving through, the golf cart allows you to slow down, stop, and truly take it all in.
Originally, these tours were designed for first-time visitors—but over time, that’s changed.
Today, Carlton Landing golf cart tours are perfect for:
First-time visitors
Families considering a vacation
Potential homebuyers or investors
Returning guests who want a deeper understanding
Groups (like retreats or church groups)
Even longtime visitors are often surprised by how much they didn’t know.
Most tours begin at the iconic lookout point overlooking Lake Eufaula—one of the most recognizable spots in Carlton Landing.
From there, you’ll explore:
Neighborhood streets and home styles
Hidden parks and green spaces
Community pools and gathering areas
The marina and lake access points
The Aqua Park
Future development areas
One standout moment?
Seeing the full master plan map of Carlton Landing—which helps you understand just how much growth is still coming.
One of the biggest takeaways from the tour is this:
Carlton Landing is still in its early stages.
While it may feel like a fully developed, thriving community, it’s actually only about 20% complete.
That means:
More homes
More amenities
More dining and retail
Expanded community spaces
For visitors, that means an evolving experience.
For buyers and investors, it means opportunity.
Tours are flexible depending on your interest level:
Quick overview: ~20 minutes
Full experience: 45–60 minutes
Chris keeps it conversational and tailored to your interests, whether you’re curious about real estate, vacationing, or just exploring.
Golf cart tours are typically offered:
Monday through Saturday
Between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM
(Sunday availability may be limited.)
Booking is simple.

Texting is the fastest way to schedule, and he’ll coordinate a time that works best for you.
Carlton Landing was intentionally designed to be different.
It’s a place built for:
Slower living
Walkability
Community connection
Outdoor experiences
But those things are hard to fully grasp until you see them up close.
The golf cart tour bridges that gap—helping you not just see Carlton Landing, but understand it.
If you’re on the fence about visiting Carlton Landing…
or wondering if it’s the right fit for your family…
Start with the tour.
It just might change the way you see it.
