A unique and special 11 acre horse property in Novelty, Ohio is available for sale by owner. The property has 211 feet of frontage on Fairmount Rd and then extends to the north almost ½ mile. There is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath house (sold as is) and a 5-stall horse barn with fenced corral, The approximately 3.5 acres coming in from Fairmount Rd are mostly cleared and very flat. As you head north from the barn the property becomes beautiful, mature woods and gently slopes down to the Chagrin River. The property then continues on the other side of the river and terminates at the old inter-urban railway trail, which is perfect for horseback riding. The land on the other side of the trail is owned by the Western Reserve Land Conservancy so will likely remain wilderness. The frontage on both sides of the river is 207 feet. Located three miles from Chesterland, 2 miles from West Geauga High School and within 45 minutes of major league sports and entertainment in Cleveland as well as Lake Erie beaches. Build your dream home on Fairmount Rd and your summer cottage down by the river.
