The bar, pool, and palm trees are all equipped with solar lighting, allowing your evenings to glow just as beautifully as your days. Peace, privacy, and tranquility define this rare property. The 11 acres feature a mix of flat and gently rolling terrain, with roughly half open pasture and half wooded area. Conveniently located just minutes from I-85 and I-985, less than an hour from Dahlonega, Helen, and Blue Ridge, and only 15 minutes from Gainesville and Lake Lanier-plus about an hour from Atlanta-this property is a true hidden gem.
