Moving to Wyoming - maybe!?

The person selling usually keeps a chunk of property nearby and lets you spend a couple hundred thousand developing then they can leach off of your expenditure.

I’ve seen some chopped up messes in Appalachia, but never circles. That’s crazy.

Is there a specific reason for that? Just curious.

It's not totally uncommon. You'll see it in places where the development retains ownership of the common areas between "lots". They essentially allow you a place to build a house and not much more. I'm not sure what all of the reasons might be, but I believe it's intended to maintain the area's natural aesthetics.

Here's another example from a golf course community in Colorado.

@BLJ this quote actually jogged my memory and I now remember something. I was told by a 3rd party with knowledge if the subdivision that the old man made the lots that way snd made the covenants so strict in order to preserve the esthetic of the area. He basically wanted the rolling hills of wapiti valley to look as it did naturally with wood sided or log cabins dotting the landscape.
