The property offers 292 total acres, of which 55 acres are already developed as 40 single-family homes on 1+ acre lots. The remaining 237 undeveloped acres present a rare opportunity for phased residential expansion, parcel sale, or single-master development. The property is offered for sale by owner, either in whole or as larger development parcels (minimum 20 acres), enabling flexible investment approaches.
