FROM ITS ORIGINS at this property here in the heart of the North Georgia mountains, the Chestatee River gathers its flow and strength from the verdant and shady canopy, crevices, and hollows of the adjacent Southern Appalachian U.S. National Forest and flows along this property.

The Waters are the focal point of the property and the Chestatee River that flows along this tract is one of the finest bodies of water in the southern United States. It begins with the confluence of Frogtown Creek and Dicks Creek (Frogtown Creek to the right and Dicks Creek to the left on the previous link) and that merging is on this property. The cold water temperatures, pristine environment, and rich food supply combine to make this stretch of river ideal trout habitat. Frogtown Creek is one of the few streams in Georgia that carries a native brook trout population; Dicks Creek and its tributary Waters Creek are known for their trophy brown and rainbow trout. Both creeks form along the southern main line of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lumpkin County, GA on untouched lands of the U.S. National Forest. First as small rivulets, then tumbling branches, strengthened by every infusion of crystalline droplets from a myriad of hollows and springs, with the magnificent Cannon Falls of Frogtown Creek just upstream of this property on adjoining U.S. National Forest and private lands. Some 920+' of the Chestatee serves as a boundary of this property, the U.S. National Forest lies on the opposite side. The river runs and tumbles along, varying from deep and resourceful with swirling pools to swift and playful with boulder-strewn rapids. Perhaps Georgia's finest river beginning.

The 18.04 acres of Land combines all the best attributes of the Southern Appalachia - strong and sparkling waters, mountain panoramas, National Forest boundary, accessible terrain and Topo, privacy and access; all of these on one parcel is as rare as the quality of this particular tract. Fine timber adds aesthetic value, open grasslands expanse reveals oceans of mountains beyond. Located at the end of a private road the property is gated and offers total privacy.

The site area will accommodate anything from a stone cottage to a mountain lodge. Or simply enjoy the open grasslands and galvanizing views that the tract offers.

The Cabin on the property makes for a cozy rustic couples or gentleman's retreat of the highest order. Although intended to be ancillary for a to-be-constructed primary lodge or residence, it is constructed with quality and aesthetic attributes characteristic of the best of homes. Situated over to the side of the open area of the property so as not to impinge on the primary residential site it stands on its own with fantastic mountain vistas. The ground level is garage and storage with the living quarters upstairs. The finest elements here combine - black micaceous and variegated granites, ceramic, natural stone, pegged thick-planked oaken flooring, Jenn-Aire's finest cookspace appliances, exposed beam construction, rough sawn and natural woody interior. From the living area the western views frame the mountains and skies beyond.
