Versatile is the first word that comes to mind with this tract of land, available for sale inside the gated community of Leatherwood Mountains. Not all property owners want a horse barn, pasture, and home on their land... but some do! This property is perfectly situated in the community to give direct trail access to the main part of the extensive trail system that Leatherwood offers. The "Homestead" trail and the "Elk Horn" trail intersect at the edge of this over 10 acre lot. Owners could take this trail system either out to the East for the higher elevation side of the mountain, or to the West accessing the "Dan'l Boone" trail and the heart of Leatherwodo Mountains. Not only is the pasture area already partially cleared, the bones of the fencing system are in place and just need a little TLC to make this a working horse property. The larger views are to the North and the East. There is a separately cleared area that would make a great spot for a barn, garage, or whatever other outbuilding you desire. This section of Leatherwood allows for a primary home as well as a guest house. The most desirable building site is practically flat and could easily be turned into whatever home you can imagine. This lot also has a well on it, though no representation is being made concerning flow, depth, or static water level. This tract of land is also located at the intersection of Elk Ridge, Fox Cove, and Cabin Ridge road... meaning that there are multiple possibilities for putting in a driveway, or driveways. One entrance to this lot has already been cleared and is ready for access to the pasture, primary building site, and auxiliary building site. With this lot being in the Elk Ridge section of Leatherwood, owners would have less than 10 minutes from the community entrance gate to home. Leatherwood Mountains has many amenities to enjoy including a community pavilion, heated swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, two fishing ponds, a children's playground, and of course the almost 50 miles of deeded horseback and hiking trails. The retail businesses at the entrance to the community include a campground, extensive equestrian facilites with training pens, outdoor riding rink, a covered riding arena, an open performance arena, and multiple barns and paddock areas for rent. These businesses also include a guided riding program, riding lessons, a restaurant, and a full live music schedule during the warm months.
