Peaceful wooded creek side starter horse property just waiting to be timbered and sculpted into your dream equestrian escape. Property has been recently surveyed as a 10.11-acre building site, Lot 2. This private retreat features deer, wild turkey and several horse trails that follow the gentle rolling topography easing down to a spring-fed creek. The location boasts many nearby amenities like the Nationally recognized FFA equestrian/rodeo facility (approx 5 miles), Lake Jackson's Bear Creek Marina (approx 2 miles), a fish camp and a Riverside State Park (approx 2 miles). For those of you also considering a perfect tree-house adventure, this site would excite the original Treehouse Master home builder himself, with a variety of bucolic vistas nestled among the many hardwoods lining the creek on the back of the lot. There are ample fishing/kayaking opportunities during normal seasonal rainfall. All the shopping/dining/entertainment activities you might want are available less than 20 minutes away in Historic downtown Covington. Since the landmark filming of "In the Heat of the Night", Covington has been known as "The LA of the South" with its major motion picture studios, where blockbuster movies and award-winning television series have been filmed. Come join the growing trend to live a dream country/equestrian lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of everything nearby city life in Atlanta has to offer (approximately 1 hour away). This site has it all!
