Originally a 2,000-acre ranch, Holby Hills was a 400-acre parcel developed as "the Ultimate In Residentail Estate Development". Lot sizes have historically been anywhere up to 4 acres each, with the help of zoning to guarantee large estates and utilities were wisely installed underground thusly keeping intact the exquisite visual presentation. Huge mansions on enormous estates with elegant landscaping have been the standard here since the very beginning and this remains the standard today in this elite community.
