ACREAGE

THE FANTASTIC ETOWAH RIVER TUNNEL, 191+/- acres, and a Country Mile of river along and through the property!! The only gold mining Tunnel of its kind in the entire United States with a river flowing through it - a historic remnant from the gold rush heydays of Dahlonega, GA.

Begun in the late 1800’s and completed in the early 1900’s, the 9' diameter Tunnel was blasted perpendicular through some one thousand feet of solid Georgia granite and the entire river was subsequently diverted through, short-crossing nearly a mile of previous looping river course. The newly exposed dry river bottom was then mined down to the bedrock for the precious yellow gold it contained. A decade later...

THE ETOWAH RIVER - A RIVER EXQUISITE. Rarely within the continental United States will you find a private holding of land that contains close to a mile of wild river flowing through. But here in the North Georgia Mountains and just outside the scenic town of Dahlonega - Southern Living Magazine's "Best Small Town in Georgia" - you'll find exactly that.

Here on a 124 acre tract, the waters flow through unbridled, winding across the property and moving from deep, quiet pools to sparkling rapids punctuated with massive boulders of granite. Privacy is assured with neither sight nor sound of another human. A long, gentle walking path parallels the river for much...

SOLD!! FROM THE TOP OF PINEY MOUNTAIN you can see, and see, and SEE - in just about every direction of the compass.

Nice hardwood timber predominates across the property and the top is peppered with a growth of native huckleberry bushes. Yum!

SOLD!! 44.25 ACRES AND A LOVELY MOUNTAIN SITE. From just after the Civil War up to around the turn of the century folks used to come to the old Porter Springs Hotel that was located here for the medicinal waters that originated from springs flowing from beneath Cedar Mountain on this property.

Gentle terrain rolls around the old hotel site and the upsloping portion goes all the way to a high mountaintop to show off spectacular views. Scenic timber covers the property; one of the old chimneys still stand and you can see...

The setting is much nicer than average and the terrain is mostly gentle to rolling with a fair amount of open area and a really nice feeling of the mountains.
