Absolutely breathtaking and extraordinarily rare 44.86-acre private mountain estate showcasing a pristine 9-acre spring-fed LAKE, sweeping 180-degree long-range MOUNTAIN PANORAMAS, direct vistas of Amicalola Falls, and three tranquil, babbling creeks flowing throughout the property. This irreplaceable North Georgia offering is ideally positioned between Ellijay, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, and Jasper — each approximately 18 miles away — and just 65 miles from Atlanta, delivering the ultimate balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Obtaining new private lake permits in North Georgia is extremely difficult and highly restricted, making this existing permitted lake an invaluable and nearly impossible-to-replicate asset that significantly elevates the long-term value and exclusivity of the property. Rolling pastures and hardwood ridgelines reveal multiple premier building sites, including ridge-top homesites with panoramic mountain and waterfall views, lakefront estate settings, and serene creekside locations — ideal for a signature luxury residence, multi-home family compound, or private retreat portfolio.
