Property Description
Step into a unique opportunity to own a piece of land rich with potential and history in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. This exceptional property, surrounded by the serene beauty of the national forest, was lovingly transformed by the current owner into a vision of "Little Italy." With a deep-rooted passion for self-sufficiency and a love for Italian culture, the owner spent years carefully cultivating this land into a fruitful oasis.
+++A Self-Sufficient Haven:+++
Nestled within a clearing visible on Google Earth as a rare “pork chop” in the midst of untouched wilderness, this property offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern possibilities. The land is dotted with six walnut trees, five pecan trees, six filbert nut trees with black truffle-seeded roots, Italian chestnuts, and an array of fruit trees including apples, pears, and peaches. Though some trees have been claimed by nature, the enclosed field still thrives, presenting an opportunity for new growth and expansion. Imagine harvesting your own fruits, nuts, and vegetables, all while gazing upon the picturesque trellises that were once home to budding grapevines. With a little TLC, this land could once again become a thriving vineyard, perfect for cultivating your own wine. The vision for this property extended far beyond the current state, with plans for a covered berry patch, a chicken coop, bees, and even livestock like goats and cows. The dream of self-sufficiency is very much alive here, waiting for someone with the passion and vision to bring it to full fruition.
+++A Builder’s and Event Planner’s Dream:+++
At the heart of the property lies a sturdy 32’ x 42’ barn, lovingly built by the owner’s brother-in-law. This versatile structure could serve as a rustic home, a workspace, or continue as the centerpiece of a working farm. However, the barn also offers incredible potential as a wedding or event venue. Picture this charming barn hosting intimate ceremonies, with the surrounding fields and forest providing a stunning backdrop for any event. The upstairs of the barn, currently a bedroom space, could easily be transformed into a bridal suite, offering a private and serene space for wedding preparations.
+++Babbling Creek Frontage:+++
One of the property’s most enchanting features is the long stretch of babbling creek frontage, providing a tranquil and picturesque setting that is perfect for relaxation or outdoor activities. This isn’t just a small stream but a real creek with fish, stocked from a nearby fishery, making it a true nature lover’s paradise. The soothing sound of the creek enhances the peaceful ambiance, making this property a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
+++Secluded Yet Accessible:+++
Located just 3.7 miles from the nearest convenience store, with a maintained dirt road that offers a hidden benefit – peace and quiet. This road is kept in excellent condition, offering easy access to your secluded retreat. The national forest ensures that no one can build beyond your property, preserving the unspoiled beauty that surrounds you.
++A Legacy of Love and Vision:+++
This land was more than just a property; it was a dream. A dream of creating a self-sufficient, food-forward retreat where family and culture could thrive. Due to a change in life circumstances, the current owner is offering this unique property to someone who can appreciate its potential and continue the journey. With upwards of $500k invested into the land, the value here is undeniable. This property isn’t just a purchase; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create your own legacy in one of Georgia’s most beautiful settings.
Whether you envision it as a family retreat, a self-sufficient farm, or a picturesque event venue, this land is a dream waiting to be fulfilled. Interested buyers should reach out to experience the property first hand and see for themselves!
