0 Clay Creek Falls Road #85+/-

THE FALLS OF CLAY CREEK - One of Dahlonega’s most picturesque geographical features and encompassed within this 85.07 acre tract. Clay Creek originates on the National Forest a few miles to the north of this property and if you could float the water’s length you’d eventually be trekking the ‘Hooch and beyond on to the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola, FL. The Falls drops some fifty feet in elevation over a granite outcropping that looks like it was borrowed from Stone Mountain and the water froths around the stony projections and pours but briefly into a pool below to swiftly course in whitewater waves on further downstream. Just below the Falls is a small amphitheater-like recess into the granite and above them overlooks a small ridge-point projections that would afford a choice building site looking down on the Falls. Just upstream of the Falls is another interesting geographical feature – a natural cove in a half-moon circle seemingly carved into the hillside where two rough old cabins occupy a choice homesite/construction area, you might do something with them or just make them go away, replaced by your own project. Two little streams flow through and a natural understory spreads beneath huge tulip poplars and sweetgums and oaks. Terrain rises swiftly from here up to the top of the mountain where it’s perfectly flat on top. In a westerly direction you can see the main line of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To the southeast you can see Crown Mountain in Dahlonega and then more to the east Wauka Mountain projects up into the skyline. Some trimming of trees and this view is year-round. This ridgeline is an excellent location for a homesite with total privacy and inspiring focal point. The property comes with power, land line, and paved road frontage; you’re only five minutes to Downtown Dahlonega or bypass traffic lights completely and go direct to Hwy. 400 and points south. Well suited for a personal use property – residential or recreational – or for a group endeavor seeking an inspirational setting, $13,900 per acre.
