ETOWAH RIVER STRONGHOLD - On this fantastic 176+/- acre tract in the North Georgia Mountains of Dahlonega. Long ridgelines with terrific Blue Ridge Mountain views, noisy tumblewater creeks and little flowing branches, and plenty of usable terrain. And of course, the beautiful Etowah River is the centerpiece of the property.

The river flows through the land and is not just a boundary, you own both sides of the river and have access to both sides. Through here the river flows along from deep and strong to fast and noisy. The waters are plenty big enough for river activities from kayaking and floating to trophy trout fishing to swimming. Or just sit along the bank and relax.

Terrain here is typical for the Mountains and has a bit of everything; long flat ridgelines offer up mountain views and rounded hilltops drop off in a mountainous fashion to flat portions along the river.

There is a combination of great features that make this an exemplary property - first of all is convenient access and a great location with convenient proximity to Dahlonega and points south. The property has paved road frontage (and utilities alongside) in a pleasant and quiet area. Scenic appeal is in abundance - from the pretty timber and native foliage to clearwater creeks and branches to the "Oh Wow!!" mountain views. And of course the natural beauty of the upper Etowah River whose origins are on the National Forest not far upstream of this property.

From a personal retreat property or investment to something for development or a Nature's Retreat Center - this is a tract worthy of your time to view. $9,975 per acre.

NEARLY A MILE – of a wild mountain river flows through this most special 172+/- acres. This property has been Estate held for decades, untouched and untainted; just like nature created it and has one of the most scenic stretches of river in North Georgia. The Etowah River originates at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and flows strong through this property, cascading in tumbling rapids and lingering quietly in deep pools. There’s not a sound or sight of humans through here and you own both sides of the river. There’s plenty of space and water here for all outdoor recreational activities, kayaking and tubing, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing alongside.

Beautifully canopied with native timber, the property extends some half mile back in from pavement and offers total privacy. Gentle flat ridgelines are deeply furrowed by dusky hollows that flow cold-watered branches that form from springs and wind through. The tip of one ridgeline offer an excellent building site from which to look down on the river and gentle lands runs immediately alongside the river for its length. Ferns and beetleweed carpet the terrain along the river scattered among the blooming rhododendron and mountain laurel. Massive white pines and hemlocks tower high above the understory, gentle ridgelines and excellent building terrain follow along the river above looking down.

Excellent circumstances of paved road frontage, plenty of usable terrain and Downtown Dahlonega just 10 minutes away combine with a fantastic river setting to make this a spectacular property for a private retreat or personal use. $9,990 per acre.

THE FANTASTIC ETOWAH RIVER TUNNEL AND 160+/- ACRES!! The only gold mining Tunnel of its kind in the entire United States with a river flowing through it - and with a wide and long swath of the Etowah River flowing through the property as well. Begun in the late 1800’s and completed in the early 1900’s, the Tunnel was blasted perpendicular through a tall ridgeline of nearly a quarter-mile of solid Georgia granite and the entire river was subsequently diverted through. Some nine feet in diameter, the Tunnel short-crossed and channeled a mile of previous looping river course through and the newly exposed river bottom was mined down to the bedrock for the precious yellow gold it contained. A decade later the Etowah is free again to flow around its original course but a portion still gushes strong through the Tunnel on this property.

And the Tunnel is but one of many exceptional scenic amenities of this property. An expansive length of the Etowah River winds through the property from shoal-noisy to strong and swirling and

ALONG THE RIVER - And what a beatuiful swath of river it is! Nearly 1/2 mile of North Georgia's finest river on this fine 87+/- acre tract - broadly flowing, swift around the boulders to deep through the pools, from whitewater to tranquil eddies, as good as can be had. On the upper portion long gentle ridgelines run across the tract and out to a point where you can see a bit of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From here the terrain drops down quickly to an area where a gold mining company was located back in the day, you can still see where the stamp mill sat alongside a little branch and some of the locals carry lore of wilder times passed there.

Further down on the river a bit of flat terrain walks you right out to the riverbank's edge and a footrail runs pretty much the length of the property upstream. A small creek flows across another gentle terrain area further upstream and spills into the river; pretty timber covers much of the property and lends the feel of a scenic mountain setting. Quiet paved County Road frontage makes for convenient access and the location is but a quick drive from Hwy. 400 and thence to the ATL. Desirable circumstances and fantastic river on this choice North Georgia tract. $9,380/acre.

THE FLATS OF CALHOUN CREEK wind across this scenic and private 68+/- acre tract within the gold band of southern Lumpkin County.  This one has a very secluded feel down on the creek, being nicely canopied and perfectly flat there makes for a choice area for a garden, wild game, or a place to play or relax.  Calhoun Creek is very pretty - clear flowing with tumbling waters one-third or so of a mile in length through the property and roughly double a car’s width in size.  Being just upstream a short distance from the Etowah River you might even see a little fish or two in there.  Much of the land above the creek is reflective of the rugged hill country it lies in along this section of the County, with granite outcroppings and an old gold mining ditch carving around the slopes.  Frontage on a gravel County-maintained roadway gives access to the property where you’ll find power and telephone; much of the interior ingress will be via foot or 4-wheeler.  Secluded but convenient to points south, rugged and beautiful, here you can feel time slowing down. $6,490/acre.

Across the road the terrain rises up to a high secluded ridgeline with views to the west of the foreground hills and to the east of the Rich Mountain Wilderness area.  Nice timber along this section gives a buffered canopy and a protective feel.  Not often you can find a really nice creek, open lands, and mountain views all on the same property, much less for $6,250 per acre which makes it a best buy in a mountain property!!!!  

AMICALOLA'S PRISTINE WILDERNESS.  An incredible 4000+ feet - nearly 4/5 of a mile - of tumbling and cascading trout waters flow along and through this 62+/- acre tract located near Amicalola Falls State Park in North Georgia.  Anderson Creek runs swiftly along the rocks and tumbles into deeper pools and channels.  The water inspires and you feel its energy flow into you, one is drawn to it is as if to witness a miraculous event.  The upstream origin is in the National Forest in areas once known by names like "Buncombe" and "Bucktown" and "High Shoals". Pretty much as nature made it, this tract and the general area shows minimal intrusion by human activity. Gentle terrain lies along the creek and a walking/riding trail runs along the entire length of the creek, in the center of the property the terrain rises to a flat mountaintop. 

The Southern Appalachian forest canopy over this property is simply beautiful, graceful hemlocks follow along the creek and add a balsam scent to the air, tall hardwoods cover the mountain, rhododendron and mountain laurel with their showy flowers bloom late spring.  Many unique and endangered species of flora thrive in their native habitat here.  The property lies behind private gates and is very secluded  yet with good access.  Few opportunities ever arise within one's lifetime to acquire a tract with this unique setting, scenic amenities, and natural appeal.  For family, for weekends, or to pass down to another generation.  $18,000/acre

***REDUCED! $360,000!***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. At one point Porter Springs even had its own post office. All shadows now; but beautiful woodlands, mountain views, and the spring still remain. 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 divots and foundations where the buildings were. The spring still flows out from beneath old rockwork at the head of a mountain cove and across the land and there was a walkway down to the spring from the Hotel.

Paved road frontage makes for easy access, power and telephone are here too. A pretty tract with a unique history that would make an excellent personal-use mountain retreat, homesite, or recreational property. Maybe there's even a way to capitalize on the history in some manner. $360,000.

***REDUCED! $405,000!***ONE OF NORTH GEORGIA'S FINEST RIVERLAND TRACTS - 40.57+/- Acres on the beautiful Etowah River near Dahlonega, GA. With an amazing 2000'+/- of some of the best flowing waters to be had anywhere this tract offers all the good attributes of the North Georgia mountains. From rip-roaring to lazy and languid the waters of the Etowah flow along this property; rocky outcroppings hide deep swirling pools and rapids spill over tumbling steps along the journey. For recreation and scenic beauty these waters have few equals.

There's gentle terrain along the river - running in places a few feet away from the waters edge to a couple of hundred feet back before rising up to the ridgelines. A flat Y-shaped ridgeline spans the center of the property with excellent building sites and a bit of a Blue Ridge Mountain view through the treeline. The mountainous terrain connecting adds variety and appeal and gets you up high enough to see the view.

Evidence of gold mining from the 1800's still exists in the rock-terraced area with its old rusty-iron attachment points that may have been used for a stamp mill (?) to crush the gold from the quartz rock.

Scenic timber covers the property; there's a nice small mountain creek that flows through the property and a small branch that goes through a mountain cove. The property is accessed via a private easement roadway off a paved County road, the area is attractive and uncluttered, and access to Dahlonega and the 4-lane is only minutes away but the property is secluded and totally private.

This tract has been held as an estate property and untouched for many a decade - at $405,000 it is an excellent value and rare opportunity given the quality of the property and the water, the circumstances, and the amount of river frontage!

A "cove" is an interesting geological feature of the Southern Appalachia; essentially a small gentle-terrain valley, often rounded or bowl shaped, ensconced between ridgelines and tightly enclosed by narrowing hollows at the ends.

The owner might be willing to divide - the property is already surveyed into two 3 acre tracts. A nice setting on the river in a quiet area up north of Dahlonega. $172,500.

HOMESTEAD ACRES - 5.2 Acres Dahlonega area with tumblingwater creek and mature hardwood forest. Tobacco Pouch Creek, pictured above, flows through the property and the land along the creek area is all gentle terrain, wooded, and very pretty.  Evidence of moonshining activity from an era long past pockets the banks of the creek. There's an excellent building site on an adjacent rounded hilltop plus plenty of usable terrain for a shop, outbuildings, camping, gardening, etc; both on the hilltop and along the creek. The property offers a private feel but is not too far from town and the access roadway is in excellent condition.   Included is a drilled well (shared water source) on the property. A desirable tract with good circumstances and a good value at $84,900.
