    Cub Creek Preserve is a rare ridge-top estate offering approximately 95 acres of privacy, scale, and long-range panoramic views. Set high along a scenic ridge, the property creates an immediate sense of retreat while offering substantial existing infrastructure for residential, agricultural, recreational, hospitality, or mission-driven use. The land features a compelling mix of open grass-fenced pastures, equestrian and livestock improvements, usable acreage, and elevated view corridors that make the setting feel both expansive and highly private. At the heart of the property are extensive residential accommodations designed to support gatherings, extended stays, and flexible occupancy. The improvements include 8 guest bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple meeting rooms, an exercise gym, a fire suppression system, full-house standby generator, and multiple wells. This combination of lodging capacity, meeting space, wellness-oriented amenities, and essential systems gives the property immediate functionality while preserving significant long-term upside for the next owner. Outdoor improvements further distinguish Cub Creek Preserve. Grass-fenced pastures, a horse barn, livestock shelters, and a cross-country agility course provide a strong foundation for equestrian use, animal care, training, recreation, or event-style programming. The property’s acreage and topography offer room to roam, ride, gather, and enjoy the natural surroundings, while the ridge-top position delivers memorable views and a true destination feel. The versatility of Cub Creek Preserve is one of its strongest attributes. Potential uses may include a private retreat, wellness or meditation destination, adult or teen camp concept, agility or performance training facility, equestrian-focused venue, group lodging property, or legacy estate holding. With infrastructure already in place for lodging, gatherings, agricultural use, and recreation, the property offers a head start for buyers seeking more than a conventional residence. Cub Creek Preserve is ideal for those looking for acreage with purpose, privacy with usability, and improvements that support both personal enjoyment and broader vision. Properties of this scale, with this level of infrastructure and ridge-top setting, are increasingly difficult to find. Potential uses are subject to buyer verification and all applicable local approvals.
