You realize that development isn't subject to proximity to previous development, right?
There is nothing to say that someday, someone won't buy the plot of land right next to yours, and sell it to some company looking to build a small town in the area for some reason or another.
So far, it's failed, but there were "city folk" trying to buy up pieces of land around here to develop and divide them into "usable sub-plots". Until recently, the addresses here were still rural. They're ES-type addresses now (street addresses, even though some of the mail boxes are 1/4 mile or more from the houses they belong to, on a completely different road.).
A friend of mine bought property on a private island near Florida to get away from "advancement". I never see him anymore, and don't even know if he's alive. But at least he won't have to worry about "development" anymore.
