Lazenby Preserve Launches Private Home Sites Near Red River Gorge

Deep in Lee County, where the Appalachian foothills begin their ascent, a new 1,800-acre residential project is rethinking regional development. Lazenby Preserve has officially opened its first private home sites to the public, aiming to balance the surging demand for outdoor-centric living with strict land stewardship near the popular Red River Gorge.

The project avoids high-density infrastructure in favor of expansive open spaces, dedicating the vast majority of its acreage to hiking, trail riding, and wildlife observation. Virginia “Gigi” Lazenby, the visionary behind the retreat, describes the site as a sanctuary for those looking to disconnect from urban pace. The current offering focuses on the Zachariah Landing area, which caters to those seeking weekend getaways or second homes designed to integrate with the local topography.

Beyond traditional residential lots, the master plan incorporates distinct zones for RV and tent camping, physically separated from permanent homes to maintain the aesthetic and quiet of the community. This approach reflects a shift in the buyer market, where the priority has moved toward flexibility and proximity to nature. As the development progresses, future phases will introduce gated sections featuring larger parcels, all maintaining the project's core focus on low-impact construction and environmental preservation.
