Everyone thinks HOA's are horrible, but this 12.63 acres in the exclusive 500 acre Hardwood Mountain Preserve will change the way you think about HOA's. When you see this beautiful piece of property, you will fall in love. There are two flat building spots ready to go for a home and barn or two homes with plenty of trees in between for privacy. Property can be split into two 6 acre tracts after closing. Hardwood Mountain Preserve is not your typical sub-division. The pledge of the property developer is to enhance, preserve and develop gently. He has walked every inch of the 500 acres, and divided the tracts according to the lay of the land making sure everyone buying here has a special place to build their dream home and live their perfect life. Protective covenants are in place to protect your investment, and make sure messy neighbors do not spoil your views. There are 7 miles of nature trails for walking, biking or riding your electric scooter or golf cart. There are two common areas - One along the creek, with pavilion, Bar-B-Q grills and picnic tables. The second area is set up for primitive camping and joins the Talladega National Forest. Hardwood Mountain Preserve is not for everyone, but if you love peace, quiet, and no obvious drama next door, plus living in harmony with nature, then it may be for you. All purchasers must agree to protective deed restrictions, easements and conditions, which ensure peace, quiet and privacy for all. HOA maintenance dues are currently $260 per year. It's beautiful out here, and designed to stay that way. Hardwood Mountain Preserve is located halfway between the Atlanta Airport and the Birmingham Airport. Good cell phone reception and high speed internet are available, and the Anniston/Oxford shopping experience is only 30 minutes away. The Fruithurst General Store and the Dollar General are less than 10 minutes away. This is a must see for any nature lover who wants to enjoy nature all day, everyday, and build a dream home in the woods. Access to public water at driveway. No mobile homes allowed.
