Looking for level acreage with views to build your dream home? Lot 16 is just under 3 acres and has sweeping views of approximately 12 acres of pasture, riding ring and community barn and garden. Located in Long Branch Preserve, a 400 acre, almost hidden community discovered and designed by an outdoor enthusiast entrepreneur who happens to also be a medical doctor. His passion for nature, health and outdoor recreation prepared him for being the perfect caretaker of this land. Long before ''agrihoods'' or ''naturehoods'' were named, Long Branch existed and was, by design, a community focused on health, wellness, serenity and conservation. Long Branch is located in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia on historic Lookout Mountain, which is less than a 20 minute drive from downtown Chattanooga. Standing in the middle of Long Branch, one will see protected land in every direction, as far as the eye can see. A popular destination for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking, Lookout Mountain has an extensive trail system which uniquely winds through Long Branch. Now known as the Cloudland Connector Trail, this 30-mile trail system connects Nick-A-Jack Road and Cloudland Canyon State Park, which boasts 3,500 protected acres including waterfalls and scenic overlooks. Long Branch is limited to only 20 homesites stretching over 80 acres with natural and man-made amenities including the lower lake with dock (4.5 acres); upper lake (2 acres) with dock, treehouse and swing; equestrian barn with guest apartment (for residents' use); riding ring; fenced pastures and village green (for gatherings, parties and weddings). The most recent addition to the Long Branch community is the community garden/orchard and adjacent pergola for outdoor gatherings. The garden is professionally managed and provides weekly fresh produce to the residents of McLemore for a small fee. There are approximately 12 miles of trails that wind through Long Branch and most residents find themselves exploring for exercise or relaxation daily, observing as the seasons change the landscape. Life at Long Branch is focused on thriving and its residents range from retirees to families, artists to physicians. This beautiful forest is now part of a permanent conservation easement providing protection for many species of wild birds and native flora. Long Branch is a gated community and employs architectural guidelines for building. The guidelines, quite simply, are meant to inspire you to design for the natural surroundings, to take in the beauty and work with the topography that is already here. There are seven homes already in Long Branch with the eighth underway. Home values range from just under one million to well over two million. There are a few Chattanooga architects well-versed in Long Branch aesthetics, which we can connect you with. This homesite is 2.87 acres and ready to build upon. We welcome you to come for a visit and take a tour. Long Branch is located only two hours north of Atlanta.
