If you are an equestrian enthusiast, or someone looking to stay on-site as you build your dream mountain home, these parcels may be just what you are looking for.

Just before you get to the paddock area on the second lot is also an additional site for a home to be built, turning the current home into a guesthouse if you so desire. Nature surrounds this property and the potential is just waiting on the right person to turn this into a fantastic equestrian property. The amenities at Leatherwood Mountains include a community pavilion, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, two fishing ponds, a children's playground, and a trail system that stretches over approximately 5,000 acres and over 50 miles of horseback and hiking trails. The retail businesses at the entrance to Leatherwood Mountains include a campground, covered riding arena, outdoor riding ring, round training pen, a seasonal restaurant, guided trail riding program, an event center, and more!
