Horses are permitted, and after completing your primary residence, you can build a barn and guest house, subject to applicable HOA requirements and approvals. The community is protected by an HOA with well-established CC&Rs designed to help preserve property values. New homes must be a minimum of 1,500 square feet. Manufactured homes are not permitted, and camping is not allowed.
