Lifestyle Farming Blocks
A Wholesome Country Lifestyle
Lifestyle blocks are small rural properties, typically between 5 to 20 acres, used for a mix of residential and small-scale farming or family lifestyle agriculture.
It is essential to a Lifestyle Block to ensure a plentiful and perpetual water supply, as water is a scarce and critical ingredient—and St David Spring Community offers Lots O' Water!
Lifestyle blocks are often purchased by families who want a country lifestyle and a specific environment to raise their kids but don't necessarily depend on farming as their primary income source.
These properties are attractive to those wanting to grow their food, raise animals, teach children about farming, or enjoy space and privacy while remaining within a reasonable distance of urban centers.
