For homebuyers who dream of waking up to the sun peeking over a broad horizon of their own land, Carney is the place to be. This rural Oklahoma neighborhood gives residents a quiet small-town living experience that’s hard to find with more centrally located Oklahoma City suburbs. “You’ve got a lot of people looking to get away from city life out there, and there are a lot of people out there that have lived there forever, too,” says Jamie Barnes Saxon, the owner, chief broker and real estate agent with Oklahoma Country Homes. Saxon has sold homes in the Carney and Central Oklahoma area for more than 20 years. With reasonably priced acreage and a secluded atmosphere that still provides a neighborly feeling, Carney is a compelling choice for land-centric homebuyers.
