TBD Tom Sawyer Ln Own a piece of Toledo Bend history. Merritt Mountain is one of the most well known and unique properties on Toledo Bend Lake. The 26.5-acre tract was developed into a sanctuary community in the 1970's, by Cliff Ammons, known as the father of Toledo Bend. One of the mainstays in the park was the Tom Sawyer, a replica of a paddle wheel boat. This facility was used as a place of worship, community meetings, and weddings. At Merritt Mountain Park, along with the Tom Sawyer Chapel, there was also a swimming beach, a bike trail, and a horseback riding trail. Also on the mountain was an amphitheater, built high above and along the natural bluff overlooking the lake. The chapel was non-denominational, and anyone was welcome. The park was open twenty-four hours a day seven days a week so anyone could come and relax, reflect, pray, and worship as they wished. The top of the mountain has a small cemetery dating before the civil war. This site has the most dynamic view on the lake and would make a great residential or commercial property. It is located just off of Merritt Mountain Rd on Ton Sawyer Ln. There is approximately 675 ft of lake waterfront and high bluffs that provide great lake views. The property has many beautiful moss draped trees. Electric and water are available to the property. Opportunity to subdivide or would make a great home site. This piece of history can have an even better future with your help. This 26.5 acre property can be yours for $750, 000.
