Estate-style homes here run 3,755 to 8,000 square feet, four to nine bedrooms, and mature oaks, cypress, magnolia, and pine give the whole neighborhood a hidden, old Florida feel.

Horses are permitted, and many homes include barns, paddocks, and riding areas. Roads are wide and well maintained, and traffic is limited to residents and guests.
