THE FALLS OF CLAY CREEK - One of Dahlonega’s most picturesque geographical features and encompassed within this 85.07 acre tract. Clay Creek originates on the National Forest a few miles to the north of the property and if you could float the water’s length you’d eventually be trekking the ‘Hooch and beyond, down to the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola, FL. The Falls drops some fifty feet in elevation over a granite outcropping that looks like it was borrowed from Stone Mountain and the water froths around the stony projections and pours but briefly into a pool below to swiftly course in whitewater waves on further downstream. Just below the Falls is a small amphitheater-like recess into the granite and above them overlooks a small ridge-point projection that would afford a choice building site looking down on the Falls.

Just upstream of the Falls is another interesting geographical feature – a natural cove in a half-moon circle seemingly carved into the hillside where two rough old cabins occupy a choice homesite/construction area. You might do something with them or just make them go away, replaced by your own project. Two small branches wind between huge tulip poplars and sycamores and oaks and the floor of the cove supports delicate native flora.

Terrain rises swiftly from here up to the crest of the mountain where it’s perfectly flat on top. In a westerly direction you can see the main line of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To the southeast you can see Crown Mountain in Dahlonega and then more to the east Wauka Mountain projects up into the skyline. Some trimming of trees and you'll have the view year-round, this ridgeline is an excellent location for a homesite with total privacy and an eye-catching focal point of North Georgia.

The property comes with power, land line, and paved road frontage; you’re only five minutes to Downtown Dahlonega or bypass traffic lights completely and go direct to Highway 400 (4-lane) and points south. North Georgia's attractions and amenities are all conveniently accessible from here. For a personal use property – whether residential or recreational – or for some type of a group endeavor seeking an inspirational setting, this tract offers a strong set of attractive circumstances. $13,900 per acre.
