Hidden Valley Farm at 1375 River Ridge Road is an inviting 28-acre equestrian property for you, your horses & farm animals, located on a sandy clay road just off Coleman Bridge Road with easy access to the 302 equestrian corridor.

Hidden Valley Farm has a well-designed infrastructure for both the residence and the farm components. Guests can take the driveway's right fork and park in the roundabout at the front of the home, while owners can continue around to the 3-car garage.
