The 100 (+/-) acres features over 1/2 mile of water frontage including a 10 acre lake, 1+ acre pond, and 1,000 ft of river frontage with gentle topography, cleared areas and mixed hardwood & pine woodlands. The wildlife on the property is as abundant and has multiple features that are perfect for personal hunting, trail riding, UTV trail, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, camping retreat, or building your dream estate home. With the appropriate preparations and permits, utilize this beautiful land for a tiny-house Airbnb & glamping property. There is a 30 x 48 metal barn. Sunsets on the lake, early morning trail walks along the river, evenings around firepits enjoying the solitude that only a large tract can offer. So far from the day-to-day hustle, but close to the local towns, Atlanta and all that the area has to offer. The current owners have tended to and improved the land since they purchased - they have a home site selected, with views overlooking the main lake. This is something special!
