Discover a rare opportunity in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains—this exceptional parcel sits within the gated, equestrian-focused community of Leatherwood Mountains. Just one mile from the entry gate, access is effortless—and once inside, you’ll find direct connectivity to over 50 miles of maintained trails, perfect for riders and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Positioned for both convenience and privacy, the property features a lower section on Meadow Road—ideal for a modest barn and paddock for your horses. From there, the home site is elevated and accessed via Holleridge Road, offering an elevated vantage point and separation from the barn area. This lot is move-in ready in many ways: the current owner holds a valid 3-bedroom septic permit and a well permit effective through 2028. (And with the right offer, house plans for a three-bedroom residence can be included in the sale.) What’s more, the lot shares a border with the larger of the community’s two ponds—an added amenity and scenic bonus. Residents of Leatherwood Mountains enjoy a rich array of onsite amenities: a community pavilion, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, children’s playground, two fishing ponds, and the sprawling trail network over 5,000 acres. At the entrance to the community (outside the gated section) you’ll find a seasonal restaurant, a campground, a zip-line course and full equestrian facilities—including guided trail rides. There are few lots available in this community that combine such exceptional horse-country access, trail connectivity, pond adjacency, and readiness to build. Whether you’re seeking a vacation home, a primary residence in a mountain resort setting, or a place for your equestrian lifestyle to flourish, this property delivers. Build your dream home here—and live the mountain life you’ve been looking for.
