The defining feature here is the sheer amount of land—farms and dense woods stretch across nearly 23,300 acres, punctuated by two- and five-acre parcels where hobbyist farmers keep pole barns and room to breathe. It's the kind of place where a real back-in-time vibe means actual space, not just nostalgia, and property taxes stay low enough that people can afford it. Homes tend toward ranch styles, with the older Borculo community built out in midcentury ranch homes running $270K to $360K, while newer neotraditional styles in Bauer push toward $330K to $690K—median prices hover around $493K across the township.
