Description

A RIVER, A CABIN, AND FORTY-FIVE ACRES are some of the amenities of this most fantastically beautiful and secluded North Georgia mountain property outside of Dahlonega. Nearly a third of a mile of wild-flowing River goes along this tract, alternately in frothy whitewater then through deep and placid pools. And you have it all to yourself once within and nary another human living within sight. The Cabin is of immaculate and substantive construction by the owners of a major building supply company who chose all the finest components and directed the most detailed assembly by skilled craftsmen. The design specs include a full poured-concrete foundation, real masonry dual fireplaces, six-inch walls, and aluminum-clad insulated windows. Sweet-smelling conifers of ponderosa pine, dense grained yellow pine flooring, cypress, and spruce populate the interior; all recently refreshed inside and flawless. There are three daylit levels; three bedrooms and three full baths plus a powder room, and a total of some ~3300 square feet. A towering greatroom along with an adjacent kitchen, dining, powder room, sunroom, master ensuite, covered deck, and covered porch all reside on the main level. Upstairs is a bedroom, bath, and office space; on the finished daylight terrace is a family room with fireplace, a bedroom and bath, and walk-out covered decking. Each level offers views of Campbell Mountain and in the further distance a portion of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The land is beautifully forested with native timbers of both hardwood and evergreen and proliferated with a scenic understory of native Appalachia - rhododendron, azaleas, trillium, fan clubmoss, emerald beetleweed, and mountain laurel. Several open and grassy meadows on the property flow in the sunlight and attract wildlife. The upper reaches of the property offer real Blue Ridge Mountain views and the property fronts along the River for nearly a third of a mile. Terrain is reflective of this area of North Georgia, portions are mountainous and then some of it rolls or is gently rounded. Along the River are sections completely flat and almost clear beneath the towering canopy. The Etowah River that flows along the length of the property originates not far away as the crow flies, accumulating at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains you can see from the property. Trophy trout patrol the clean oxygenated waters and you can literally feel the energizing ions that emanate. Sit alongside and recharge your batteries and maybe read a book or dip your toes. Or engage in something more energetic, perhaps canoe or float, fish or hike, hunt or 4-wheel. The property offers total gated privacy yet is within about ten minutes of Downtown Dahlonega and all the activities and attractions of this "Best Small Town in Georgia" and surrounding area. This is an acquisition for a private retreat or family heirloom, for entertainment, for investment in something special and certainly with potential for guest or client. It is a combination of major flowing waters, structure, acreage, and circumstance that synergize into a rarely available opportunity. This property has been in the same family holdings for more than two decades, might it be your turn now?
