Anybody who bought back there had to know that idyllic pasture wouldn't last. We looked at a house backing up to it four years ago and declined. I will say there is a line of huge live oaks along the fence separating the homes and the pasture. But they are on the pasture side of the property. Hopefully for those folks, the builder will leave the trees there.

I still think it's better for that part of Tamarind Grove than what TV was going to do with that land-- building 400+ homes with the only golf cart access through the postal station and funneling onto Tamarind Grove Run. That would have destroyed our beautiful little park/pool area and peaceful neighborhood.
