Hi Susan,
I would suggest locating one agent and working with them to create a search for you specifically. The more an agent learns about their clients, the better their search results will become. I've lived in the northern portion of Oakland county and the southern Lapeer county all of my life. This area holds many properties fitting your desires.
If you find one agent that you feel comfortable enough to work with, I'm sure you will find the property that fits your desires and needs. Metamora is the center of north Oakland / Lapeer Counties ... and it's known as horse country ... and yes I see Lamas here often as well. It's always better to have your agent do the searching and save your own time for friends and family.
Once your agent locates a prospective collection of properties, go for the drive with them and see for yourself. I'm sure you'll enjoy the sites of all of the farms and animals. Good luck with your search. - Tue Apr 22, 2008
