Where N Benson Road and S Walhalla Road intersect, you're looking at nearly 11,000 acres of land that takes "breathing room" seriously—average lot sizes hover around 6.35 acres, which means your nearest neighbor isn't going to hear your lawn mower. The character here tilts toward hobby farms, wooded acreage, and creek-front properties; recent sales show everything from fenced pastures and barns to carefully renovated ranch homes tucked into thickly wooded lots. Long Lake anchors much of the appeal, with sandy beach access and a public boat launch drawing folks who want water without the overcrowding of resort towns.
