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.
