Long Branch Preserve is a remarkably well-planned, gated community on Lookout Mountain that offers the owners of its 20 homesites privacy on their lots, but an inspiring sense of community with neighbors being immersed in such a beautiful landscape.
Here, it is all about the land. The homesites at Long Branch are surrounded by their very own 300+ acres protected from development in perpetuity by a conservation easement. Long Branch has 12 miles of trails, two lakes, miles of creeks, a community garden, a treehouse, an equestrian barn, riding ring and ample pasture; the list goes on. All while being just 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga.
Lot 19 is 4.86 acres and is roughly half open and half wooded. The lot has wonderful views of Lookout Mountain and will give its next owner a great front and backyard. About 100 yards down a trail from your backyard is the creek called Long Branch, the namesake of the community. From here you've got access to miles of rolling, audible water and shaded trails.
Long Branch is uniquely positioned along a connector trail that gives access to the 3,500 acre Cloudland Canyon State Park and its 64 miles of trails, some of which allow biking and horseback riding. The community is also situated in-between parts of the Lula Lake Land Trust, which is home to the breathtaking 120-foot Lula Falls. McLemore, a mountaintop golf and resort community is also just 15 minutes away.
