...and honestly, what you're getting here is land. Nearly two acres per lot on average, which means you're not sharing walls or staring into your neighbor's kitchen from yours. Big Pine Island Lake is just 0.3 miles away if you want to throw a line in the water without overthinking it. Homes run around $503K, which buys you actual acreage in a 9-acre plat that doesn't pretend to be something it's not.
