ANNUAL MEETING - Sunday, September 15, 2024. Starting at 5:00pm this year! See Meetings tab for details.

Welcome

Chance made us neighbors, but hearts can make us friends.

To be a good neighbor is one of life’s richest joys.

Welcome.

The Big Country Acres private subdivision is located in northwest St. Charles County at the corner of Dietrich Rd & High Sierra. The subdivision roads and common grounds are maintained 100% by the Homeowners Association.

Emergency Notifications

NextDoor.com is our primary method for communicating emergency and other helpful information. No one will be able to see your contact information. If you have not joined, simply contact a trustee and they can send you an invitation link.

Private Lake

The BCA lake is private property for uses only by residents and their designated guests. New permits have been issued and should be displayed in all vehicles using the common ground launch area.

Improvements

Improvements constructed or placed on any lot need written approval from the trustees per the CCR article VII.  Submit two sets of plans with the location of all improvements, the color and composition of all exterior materials to be used, and proposed landscaping.
