The community offers thousands of acres of farmland, pine woods and grassy fields marked by rivers, creeks and ponds. Though subdivisions are popping up, Bingham says, "there's still a good mix of acreage available." As the community develops, residents still enjoy the peaceful vibe of a rural lifestyle.
