Conservancy and owner clash over riding ring at Hid den Valley Farm
At Hid den Valley Farm in Flat Rock a 100 by 200 foot riding ring sparked a year long dispute between landowner Hugh Cassar and the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy. The CMLC says remodeling and new roads violated a conservation easement placed by former owner Peter Hess. The case centers on preserving the pastoral integrity of the 62 acre site tied to CMLC protections in Henderson and Transylvania counties.
