About Deerpath Farm : Shared Open Space

Deerpath Farm is a conservation community -- a neighborhood in which the preservation of Nature is of primary importance.   Nearly five years of planning has gone into its layout and design. Its 200 acres of woods, wetlands, and meadows have been cared for and restored over the last 20 years.

What is a conservation community?
Conservation or "green" development has gained national attention in the last decade as builders, realtors, and local officials seek both to provide development opportunities and ensure the local environment is preserved. Thus a residential conservation development such as Deerpath Farm will integrate roads, housing (including home grounds), and the natural landscape as much as possible. It is this close interdependence that makes living in a conservation community a special responsibility and challenge.

What benefits do you receive from living at Deerpath Farm?
Conservation development allows you to live in harmony with Nature. Whereas in other communities Nature may be relegated to an unused portion of the property -- or banished from the site entirely -- in a conservation development Nature comes literally up to your front door. Nature is as near as a relaxing stroll along the streets or paths of Deerpath Farm as you wander through its wetlands, woodlands and prairies.   You are able to both participate in and take enjoyment from the preservation of the landscape.
