The subdivision known as "Chatmoss" began 30+ years ago and only become a more desirable location for a home. Most lots are 1+ acre or more, and beautifully landscaped because old-growth trees weren't bulldozed, but allowed to stand and give privacy between neighbors.

Within Chatmoss there is an 18-hold challenging golf course with the amenities of an excellent dining room, grill room for casual golfers, a wonderful bar with tables and comfy chairs to linger in. Naturally, there is a large pool with grill house, tennis courts, and "stables" for all the golf carts. Just a mile from the clubhouse is a private school, begun in 1968, with an international student body. The school boasts its 100% college acceptance for its graduates.
