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.
