Instead of purchasing vacant acreage and investing the time, expense, and uncertainty of building, this property offers nearly 23 wooded acres, Grove River frontage, an established all-brick ranch, and the financial benefit of reduced property taxes through the Conservation Covenant until 2036. REPLACEMENT VALUE: Imagine finding another 22.91-acre wooded tract with Grove River frontage, then adding the cost, time, and effort required to build an all-brick ranch in today's market. This property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both the land and the home from day one. PRIVACY THAT'S BECOMING HARDER TO FIND: Hidden at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property delivers the peace and freedom buyers dream about. Towering hardwoods, the sights and sounds of Grove River, abundant wildlife, and star-filled skies create a setting that's increasingly difficult to find within minutes of Interstate 85. A HOME DESIGNED TO ENJOY THE PROPERTY: The spacious primary suite provides room for a sitting area or private retreat, while the bonus suite offers flexibility for guests, a home office, hobbies, or multi-generational living.

VALUE TODAY...POTENTIAL FOR TOMORROW: Large wooded tracts with river frontage, an established all-brick home, reduced property taxes through 2036, NO HOA, NO rental restrictions, and convenient access to work, recreation, and everyday conveniences are becoming increasingly rare in Northeast Georgia. Opportunities to own a property offering this combination of land, location, lifestyle, and long-term value don't come along often.
