Neighborhood highlights

This is the most peaceful and friendly neighborhood you'll find! We are SO blessed to have remarkable and friendly neighbors. They are like family having years of living in their well-kept homes. All are home-owners and there are no rental properties to my knowledge. There are no dogs or loud music. It's totally peaceful with nature sounds, unless you hear a lawn-mower or playful children's voices in the distance. There is a private horse ranch and cow farm a few feet away. You can use the front porch swing and take in the beauty of Lookout Mountain. Watch the windmill during the gentle breeze of the day.
