There exists in the North Georgia mountains a few special properties the the U.S. Forest Service was unable to obtain during the assemblage of the U.S. National Forest in the early 1900's. These lands were designated for acquisition due to the desirability of their aesthetic beauty and natural amenities. This is one of those properties.

The trout waters of Anderson Creek are a centerpiece of this property. Flowing straight out of the National Forest some half a mile or so of crystalline waters of the finest purity, cascading and tumbling, go through and along this property. Numerous other springs and branches form and...

Plenty of paved road frontage on Auraria Road makes for easy access and the property goes some 1/2 mile into secluded woodlands.

Yahoola Creek -  labeled “Yahoola River” on the old maps considering the volume of water it carries - travels some ½ mile along and through this property where roaring cascades tumble from deeper pools over granite outcroppings and flow alternately gently and swiftly across.  A spritely little branch also flows across and there’s a partially finished pond site with piping and a dam still in place.

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.

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!!!!  

62+/- acres located in Gilmer County west of Ellijay GA.  Rolling hills and rambling ridgelines stretch through this pretty acreage tract.  Scattered big timber in the form of long leaf and white pine drop a fragrant carpeting of needles, a little branch flows through one side of the property.  There's plenty of good building sites and plenty of walking/riding trails throughout the property.  U.S. Highway frontage makes for convenient access.  At $4,999 per acre this tract is an excellent buy and good investment.

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.

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...
