Award-winning house builder Tracy Acree knew he had found a good spot for a subdivision in North Okaloosa County when he discovered a small creek running through it and it had another portion backed up to a nature preserve.
That's what led him to select the name for the development -- Trailwood Estates.
"We always knew that the creek and the nature preserve would be a part of the subdivision," Acree said. "Now there's a nature or fitness trail that runs through it."
His company, Tracy Acree Construction, Inc., is busy building the homes within the 70-lot subdivision and he says they have been exceeding the expectations of local neighbors interested in what's going on in Trailwood Estates.
