Nestled in the heart of Panther Ridge’s 3500 acres, you will find a neighborhood like no other, a beautiful slice of paradise called Bridle Creek. This neighborhood is known for its exquisite sprawling estates, private and heavily wooded lots, meandering creeks, as well as trails for both equestrians and avid hikers. In Bridle Creek, the perfect homesite is now available and waiting for you. The estate sized lot features almost 8 acres of ancient and majestic oak hammocks, towering pine trees gently swaying in the wind, as well as a charming 525 foot long creek spanning the entire width of the lot, fed by the Braden River. This homesite is tailor made for the person who is looking for privacy, peace and quiet…someone who wants to create their very own exclusive estate on an exquisitely wooded lot that features a lovely creek as well. There is no time frame for building, one can use any builder one chooses, and a total of 3 buildings are allowed (please be sure to refer to the Bridle Creek HOA guidelines for exact building perimeters). This is a chance of a lifetime to own a homesite that is pristine, untouched, and waiting for you to put your personal mark on it. ABOUT THE COMMUNITY- Panther Ridge includes 4 neighborhoods on the north side of ST RD 70 and 3 neighborhoods on the south side, as well as several smaller neighborhoods in-between, all in all totaling approximately 3500 acres.
