Last Saturday, while I was out showing horse farms, I was in the middle of a beautiful plot of land out in Boatwright Estates in southern Madison County. This Sycamore tree is majestic and ancient. Just lean against one and feel the wisdom and peacefulness transfer to you! It made me wonder why developers move off all the beautiful trees when grading an area for a subdivision.

It includes 6 tracts that are 10 acres or more for mini horse farms. I know one couple that bought one just for the sunset factor. I went out there with them right before they bought it and we enjoyed an incredible sunset overlooking the gently rolling hills and trees. I can just picture how a home would look with a black plank fence and a horse or two in the backyard.

You just can't find that type of land here anymore. Especially one that has been developed for such a purpose. I took this picture of the tree that is in one of the lots. I would have loved to climb this when I was younger! Being a tree-house tomboy I can appreciate the land and trees.

I read today that if builders took care and stayed 40 foot from the tree it will not injure the roots. Tree damage usually doesn't manifest itself until one to five years after the initial abuse. Most builders won't do it, however, because it could cost up to $10,000 to move the dirt off site and bring it back.

Anyway, this tree is for sale along with 10 acres.
