About This Home

There are properties you visit... and then there are places you disappear into. Set on 25.42 acres just outside Dahlonega and moments from the Chattahoochee National Forest, this is the kind of place people look for—and rarely find. The home sits exactly where it should—elevated in the center of the property—overlooking rolling pasture, a fruit tree orchard, and more than 1,100 feet of frontage along Nimblewill Creek below. Private. Usable. And quietly dialed in. Inside, the home spans over 5,200 square feet with a layout that feels natural and unforced. A main-level primary anchors the space, while additional bedrooms and open living areas are designed for gathering, not just passing through. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and scale, while the connection to the outdoors is constant—views in every direction, light throughout the day. But the real story starts when you step outside. Trails wind through the acreage, opening up opportunities for hiking, ATVs, or quiet morning walks. Open pasture stretches below, framed by woods and an orchard that feels tucked into the land. A handcrafted potting shed—built from cut logs—adds a layer of character that feels rooted, not placed. And then there’s the creek. Over 1,100 feet of Nimblewill Creek runs along the property, creating a natural boundary and a daily draw—whether it’s casting a line for trout, cooling off in the summer, or simply following the sound of water through the trees. This is land you can actually use. Hunt it. Ride it. Walk it. Sit still on it. And when you’re ready to leave it, you’re still close to everything—roughly 15 minutes into downtown Dahlonega, and about the same to Dawsonville for shopping, dining, and everyday convenience. Private without being remote. Refined without losing its edge. This isn’t just acreage—it’s a lifestyle that’s getting harder to find.
