157.28 Acre Tract with protective Conservation Easement. Here is a rare opportunity to own a large-acreage tract within the gates of Fredonia Mountain Nature Resort (FMNR). FMNR is a 3,500 acre gated-community atop the Cumberland Plateau designed with features intended to connect people with nature such as hiking/biking trails, parks, lakes, ponds and a community lodge. This 157.28 acre tract has been specifically set aside and declared as ''conserved land'' to retain its considerable natural and scenic values but with substantial retained rights for its perpetual use. The tract has been exempted from the FMNR home owners' association (''HOA''). Restrictive Covenants ensuring the conservation values of the tract are recorded in a Conservation Easement (''CE'') administered by The Foothills Land Conservancy. Certain provisions of the CE do, however, allow for the installation of improvements such as roads, residences, outbuildings and ancillary improvements. Other notable allowances include: Hunting, Wildlife Management, Leasing, Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Management. Further subdivision of the tract is prohibited. Views extend from the upland brow over the Woodcock Gulf and Sequatchie Valley beyond. Woodland habitats flourish under the deciduous Oak / Hickory Forest canopy and vary with elevations ranging from 2240 ft highland plateau to 1640 ft watershed cove. Creek gorges with tumbling water falls, glistening pools and moss-covered stones contain native species such as rhododendron, hemlock, mountain laurel and native azalea. Springtime wildflowers abound with may apple, trillium and lady slippers. Wildlife common to the area is found here including deer, turkey, opossum, raccoon, bob cat and many varieties of local and migrating birds. Membership in the FMNR HOA is voluntary and would provide access to the community amenities such as the ''Lodge at Lake George'', Private Parks and miles of cart-path trails (see photo descriptions).
