Bordering the Chattahoochee National Forest and Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area, this rare property sprawls across 50+ acres of private land, offering endless possibilities for adventure, creativity, and connection with nature.

High-speed fiber internet keeps you connected when needed, while the world around you feels a million miles away. The spring-fed, UV-filtered water system, solar panels with battery backups, and propane heat pump with backup wood gasification furnace allow for sustainable, off-grid capable living without sacrificing comfort.The fenced vegetable gardens, fruit-laden orchards bursting with berries, kiwis, and even lemons, along with a fully equipped greenhouse, offer year-round growing potential for those with a green thumb or just starting to dig in.
