This countryside residential area, known locally as the last frontier, is home to those who prefer wide open spaces with a "Home in the Country" feeling. Homesites range from 1/4 acre to 10+ acres, so there is plenty of room for nature lovers, horse and cattle grazing, nursery growers, and quite uncongested living. Single family homes are available in great variety of price ranges. The lifestyle is unstructured and fit the tastes of those who love the country life.
