Orange County homes with large lots and acreage
Orange County, California homes, properties, and real estate for sale and lease with large lot size and with acreage. Properties with large lots are becoming a thing of the past. With the escalating cost of land, many new home developments are being constructed with individual homes on smaller and smaller parcels of land. Some builders are even going vertical with their floor plans, using three or more stories to maximize interior space while minimizing the exterior footprint. While condominiums and town homes are generally very suitable for many homebuyers, many buyers dream of having a traditional, single family home that includes a generous back yard and large lot around the property. Some are looking for that unique, upscale estate or luxury home with a gated entry, horse coral, pool, or sport court, while others are just seeking space and privacy. A large property is ideal for gardening, pets, and of course kids. A home with a larger lot may have higher re-sale potential also. A terrific patio and large garden may very well be more appealing to a buyer than a very small lot. A large plot of land is also valuable for sentimental reasons. One of the classic values of many cultures is to own the land under your feet and there is an emotional response to owning a large portion of land.
