An area landowner had his
heart set on living up on the ridge top. After five plus
years of road building, he changed his mind. Generously, he
offered to sell his ridge top land for an approachable sum
if it would be allowed to return to its natural state. The
combination of the seller's generosity plus his neighbors'
willingness to strain their financial situation a bit has
enabled 11 acres of steep slope and ridge terrain to be
diverted from construction and helped to return it back to
its natural state. This particular piece of land connects
several hiking trails that lead up to the Parkway and also
surround and wander through the Bull Creek Cove area. Thus
these trails will also remain available for the enjoyment
of hikers. The agreements about future land use are held in
place by covenants signed by both parties.
