If you live in one of these homes are you comforable the land behind you will not be developed?

A few weeks ago I went to an open house at a home on Olanta Drive in Caroline that backs onto a large open field. I asked the showing agent whether the land was likely to be developed and she assured me that it was a preserve that could never be developed. (This was an MLS agent, not a Villages listing). I was looking for a friend and was skeptical -- the Sumter County assessor's site showed a private owner. I asked an MLS agent I know to check and see if there was any reason to believe that this land could not be developed and her answer was NO -- the land is currently for sale. So, once again -- buyer beware.
