This is the first "elevated" lot we had ever seen in TV, coming from Vermont where everything is elevated in one way or another in the Green Mountain State. Mostly every street is hilly; not much is flat.

However, other neighbors seem to know the farm owners who claim they will never sell. I valued their opinions.

My husband's concern was that perhaps a Walmart could end up in our backyard or the delivery zone with trucks, etc. for a chain restaurant. One never knows.

This is why we are trying to do some research before coming down for a lifestyle visit. Everyone has been helpful....however, no one has yet replied as to whether that "back view" is truly elevated and how many feet lower than the house in question?........or the street in question, I should say.

While he concerns himself with future commercial development in the rear of the home, I wonder about nuisance critters. Thanks for your input Carla.
