The Neighborhood lands surrounding Swift Level are owned for the most part by Oscar Nelson lll, his wife Ginger and their six children on nearly 1000 acres of Morlunda Farms sweeping up and along Muddy Creek Mountain. They raise commercial cattle, purebred sheep, corn, hay and gourmet vegetables. The remaining contiguous lands are owned by the Tuckwiller family, covering over 1,000 acres themselves.

The Tuckwiller property has been in the same family since before the revolutionary war. They actively raise purebred Angus and Angus/Hereford cross cattle, corn and hay. There are a few homes in the valley on smaller parcels, yet most property is held by families raising livestock, grapes or enjoying the view and leasing land to local cattlemen while holding their own professional careers in Lewisburg.
