Why David W. Dixon chose Walker County
Growing up I have lived in many places, but without a doubt I love living here more than anywhere I have ever lived. Being able to hear the crickets at night and enjoy the peaceful tranquility away from all the hustle and bustle is something we really enjoy. It's so nice to enjoy being in the country and feel like no one is anywhere near around when in reality I can be to Walmart and other places in town in about 5 minutes. It's truly the best of both worlds and I know you will agree when you come to stay with us in the Plantation at Pigeon Mountain
