The vaulted ceilings in the living area create a fantastic living space with plenty of room for everyone. A small creek runs along the bottom of the property and can be heard from the decks. The community of Leatherwood Mountains has plenty to offer all residents and guests alike. The amenities consist of two fishing ponds, a pool, community pavilion, tennis and pickleball courts, and an extensive trail system.
