Well we live in a small subdivision on a 1200 acre lake. Beautiful 1.5-2acre lots with 300-400 feet of shoreline.
Median house is 3/4 to 1 mil and we can’t afford people doing blatantly stupid things like building a pole barn etc.
It would be akin to putting and outhouse in your front yard and real estate value would suffer substantially.
1.5 to 2 acres? What is allowed?
There are some gated neighborhoods on the lake with expensive homes, HOA’s, no barns, no horses, 2 acre lots, but they are a few miles away and not my thing-most of those people are recent townie transplants and they call those of us in this place trashy, rednecks, old hippie nature nuts, etc-the un-gated, horse-and-livestock area with at-home mechanics’ shops, long haul truckers who park on their 3-10 acres, etc-call me trash for all I care-I grew up living in the natural world, smelling livestock and growing things and working outside most of the time...
Not at all the same thing as your neighborhood-no high-dollar homes, and people are not looking to manicure lawns, etc and maintain value to sell-most are making a living there for life, not planning to live on a waterfront in a high dollar home-most kids are home-schooled out here, too-different world than you live in, rural or not-one size does not fit all when it comes to priorities concerning living accommodations...
