Rules and Standards

1. 1

   A covenant community

   Not a typical HOA. Governance exists to protect your freedom, your values, and your quality of life.

2. 2

   Governed by owners

   Decisions are made by your fellow owners through the Stewardship Council.

3. 3

   Legally binding

   All owners agree to the recorded Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. It runs with the land.

4. 4

   Fair and consistent

   Rules apply equally to everyone. Violations are addressed fairly.

5. 5

   Disputes resolved in-house first

   We seek neighborly reconciliation before involving outside parties.

• Residential use only. Keep the rural, agricultural character of the community.
• No commercial businesses or industrial operations on residential lots.
• Keep property clean and safe. No junk, debris, or abandoned vehicles.
• Fences are encouraged for livestock and should be kept in good condition.
• Signage is limited and requires approval. Outdoor lighting should be respectful.
• Setbacks: primary residence 50 ft from side and rear boundaries, 100 ft from the front. Accessory buildings 25 ft from property lines.
• Respect your neighbors. No profanity, illegal activity, or disruptive behavior.
• No hunting outside managed activities, no fireworks, and nothing that endangers others.
• Leases longer than 30 days require approval.

Before you build, your design and site plan go to the Architectural Review Board. The goal is a cohesive look across the Ranch, not a restrictive one.

• Building plans: floor plans and exterior elevations.
• Specifications, including square footage of enclosed living space.
• Exterior materials and colors for roof, siding, trim, foundation, doors, windows, and accents.
• A site plan showing boundaries, home placement, driveway, setbacks, and accessory structures. Rough, hand-drawn plans are fine if legible and roughly to scale.

Plan submission, construction start, and completion follow the stated timeframe in your purchase contract and the Declaration. If you need a different timeline, request it in writing within 7 days of signing your contract.
