It is designed for homeowners who want a rural-residential lifestyle with pecan orchards, horses, and large lots.

• Lot use & residential character: Each lot is for single-family residential use only. Business activities are allowed only if not detectable by sight, sound, or smell from outside the lot. Agricultural/horticultural use (including pecan farming) is allowed on lots over 1 acre, but commercial harvesting requires PPOA approval. No temporary structures, mobile homes, or RVs may be used as residences.
