That vision comes to life in Fulbrook Acreage Estates, where you can build a custom home with a spacious backyard that is surrounded by lakes, rivers and nature trails. Here are just a few big benefits of that bigger backyard.  **Health benefits of living close to nature** Studies show that there are many benefits of living close to nature, including mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. In fact, research from the University of East Anglia shows that exposure to greenspace reduces the risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature death, preterm birth, stress, and high blood pressure **Big area for the kids to play**  Our spacious homesites range from 1 to 3+ acres (or more) and are available on the shores of the Brazos River and Oxbow Lake or in wooded terrain. That means your custom home will have a big backyard along with 200+ acres of open space within the community to gather and grow, to play or unwind. **Space between neighbors** While it’s great to be surrounded by friendly neighbors, it’s also nice to have plenty of space and privacy for your family. You’ll worry less about noise and have more opportunities to enjoy the peace and quiet or tranquil sounds of nature.  \--- Want to live at home with nature? Our beautiful acreage lots make it possible for you to make your countryside dream a reality, whether that’s now or further down the road. We have a variety of spacious homesites ranging from 1 to 3+ acres (or more) available on the shores of the Brazos River and Oxbow Lake or in wooded terrain.
