S Holland Rd & S Carlson Rd Area

Out here, the thing that sticks is the creek—Dickerson Creek winds through properties like a quiet tenant, promising water views and the occasional glimpse of what rural living actually means rather than what the brochure says it means. Lot sizes average nearly twenty acres, which means you're not borrowing your neighbor's elbow room; the land breathes, barns dot the horizon, and that commute to town (nearly an hour to downtown) feels less like a burden when you've got five, ten, maybe fifteen acres of your own to think about. Groceries are steps away, which is the small mercy that keeps you from feeling entirely stranded, while a coffee shop sits three miles down the road—close enough to visit on purpose, far enough away that "running out for a cup" requires actual intention. Little Blue Lake sits just a tenth of a mile off, and Sheridan Roadside Park abuts the neighborhood, giving you the sense that recreation isn't something you drive to but rather something that borders your own property line. This stretch draws people who actually want space: barns for equipment and livestock, pole structures for storage, foundations laid for outbuildings, the kind of practical infrastructure that only makes sense when your lot isn't measured in fractions of an acre.
