44.86 Acres with Private 9-Acre Lake, Amicalola Falls Views & 180° Mountain Panoramas Absolutely breathtaking and extraordinarily rare, this 44.86-acre private mountain estate (RA zoning; Parcel 019 010 – 39.86 acres and part of Parcel 019 010 007 – 5 acres) features a pristine 9-acre spring-fed lake with 2,920 feet of shoreline all the way around, that you would own entirely—your own private lake with no one else sharing it—plus sweeping 180-degree long-range mountain panoramas and direct views of Amicalola Falls, located just right around the corner from the falls themselves. Three tranquil creeks, including Little Amicalola Creek flowing directly from the falls, wind throughout the property, creating an exceptionally rare, water-rich setting. Ideally positioned between Ellijay, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, and Jasper (all approximately 18 miles away) and just 65 miles from Atlanta, this irreplaceable North Georgia offering provides the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Spanning two parcels with no restrictions and no HOA, the estate is anchored by a professionally engineered 44-foot dam compacted to 99% and maintained by Dawson County and the Georgia DNR, giving you long-term stability and peace of mind without the burden of maintaining the dam yourself. The fully stocked private lake—featuring bass, brim, rainbow trout, carp, and catfish—offers a true resort-caliber recreational experience, and with new private lake permits in North Georgia extremely difficult to obtain, this existing permitted lake is an invaluable and nearly impossible-to-replicate asset. Rolling pastures and hardwood ridgelines reveal multiple premier building sites with panoramic mountain and waterfall views, lakefront estate settings, and serene creekside locations—allowing you to create a multi-home family compound or keep the entire property private as one extraordinary legacy estate. A completed survey is on file; soil work has not yet been performed. Power is available, great high-speed internet is accessible, and the property will require a well and septic system, offering full flexibility to design and build to your exact vision. Additional highlights include a gated entrance once nationally recognized for its beauty, deeded easement access, and potential for additional interior access points. Nearby attractions include apple orchards, wineries, hiking trails, Springer Mountain (Appalachian Trail access), Amicalola Falls, Fort Mountain State Park, Brasstown Bald, trout streams, tubing, kayaking, sunflower fields, pumpkin patches, and endless North Georgia outdoor recreation. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, multi-generational retreat, private estate, or income-producing Airbnb opportunity, this rare offering delivers unmatched privacy, flexibility, and irreplaceable natural beauty.
