VIEW OF NEW CREEK MTN FROM HIGH POINT ON LOT 28

Property Description:
Lot 28 might be considered to be the very nicest lot within The Preserve, if views, privacy and easy building site are important to you. Enter the property on a "pipestem" driveway to keep the driveway level and private.  800' into Lot 28 brings you to the high point (photo location above), where you have a  great view to the east of New Creek Mountain and guaranteed views of the sunrises. Build here for the best view. Well has already been drilled (442') and is near this point.
Driveway continues (straight ahead in photo above) another 400' down a slight hill, to the alternate building site and current campsite (photo below). This level site sits atop a rocky bluff, near to a stream below in the nature preserve.
From Lot 28 you can easily access five different hiking trails within The Preserve, taking you past numerous waterfalls, meadows, old homestead ruins, a cemetery and other protected features of our Conservancy Areas. Lot 28 provides you with a spectacular setting and complete privacy, with no other homes visible anywhere during any season. This property offers far more than most lots twice the size, PLUS, your own nature preserve, where you can walk all day on your own land, where hunting is absolutely forbidden. I own a lot in The Preserve, as well.


CAMPSITE IS READY TO ENJOY


DRIVEWAY


The Preserve at New Creek Lake is a 1000 acre nature preserve community with 43 private home sites laid out on about 500 acres, each adjoining the commonly owned Conservancy Area (nature preserve), consisting of the remaining 500 acres. The Preserve is a gated community adjacent to publicly owned New Creek Lake. There are many miles of marked hiking trails throughout the property. Within the Conservancy Area, there are old forgotten ruins of early homesteads, at least one old cemetery (and another next to the lake), miles of sparkling clean streams with numerous waterfalls, soaring sandstone cliffs and more wildlife than you've ever seen in one place. There are also numerous picnic tables left in convenient locations so that you can sit and relax along your explorations. Expect to see black bears, multiple flocks of as many as 35 wild turkeys foraging in the woods, flying squirrels, white-tailed deer, grouse, foxes and even an occasional coyote might bet spotted. You may be lucky enough to hear the coyotes howling together higher on the mountain. There is NO HUNTING  permitted at The Preserve at any time. This is meticulously enforced at all times by the residents. You will not find anyplace that matches The Preserve in it's natural qualities and the values placed on those qualities. When you buy property within The Preserve, you become part of something much bigger... a community dedicated to the conservation, enjoyment, respect and care of the land and it's wildlife. Make certain that when you plan to visit The Preserve, that you allow time for the visit to include not just the property you look to purchase, but also the entire Preserve, for which each lot owner becomes a steward. Nearby energy-producing windmills, not generally visible from here, add an additional flair of "greenness" to The Preserve.
