0 Long Branch Road #Lot 7, Rising Fawn, GA 30738

me to Long Branch Preserve, a 400 acre, almost hidden, private community on Lookout Mountain a mere 20 minute commute to downtown Chattanooga. Too good to be true comes to mind as you tour this residental preserve designed by an outdoor enthusiast entrepreneur who also happens to 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. This homesite, Lot 7, is perfectly located in the heart of Long Branch and overlooks the larger of 2 lakes, Lake Sarah Zane, which is just under 4 acres. It's mostly wooded, awaiting the arrival of its new owner to uncover the perfect building location. Measuring 2.34 acres with a lake in front and hiking trails nearby, if you are searching for a place to call home you'll find it here. Standing in the heart of the community (or anywhere in Long Branch), you 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 boasts an extensive trail system which uniquely winds through Long Branch. 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 4 acre lower lake with boathouse; 2 acre upper lake 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 newest phase of Long Branch community amenities began in 2020 - the community garden, which is professionally managed and currently yields weekly boxes of fresh produce for a small fee. There are approximately12 miles of hiking trails that wind through Long Branch and most residents find themselves exploring for exercise or relaxation daily, observing how 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 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 an 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. We welcome you to come for a visit and take a tour. Long Branch is located only two hours north of Atlanta in the Northwest Georgia mountains. Call us and come explore!
