THE ETOWAH RIVER - A RIVER EXQUISITE. Rarely within the continental United States will you find a private holding of land that contains close to a mile of wild river flowing through. But here in the North Georgia Mountains and just outside the scenic town of Dahlonega - Southern Living Magazine's "Best Small Town in Georgia" - you'll find exactly that.

Here on a 124 acre tract, the waters flow through unbridled, winding across the property and moving from deep, quiet pools to sparkling rapids punctuated with massive boulders of granite. Privacy is assured with neither sight nor sound of another human. A long, gentle walking path parallels the river for much of the property and across the ridgeline crest extends gentle rounded terrain.

Hike up to a view and the thunderous sounds of the Falls of the Etowah just above the property, or sit alongside a rugged whitewater creek that slides across the granite and tumbles down in waterfalling sheets. Scattered along a little clearwatered branch are remnants of a quartz-stone foundation and chimney from an old homesteader's cabin and an era of memories long passed. All around is a beautiful and natural setting of thriving timber and a scenic native understory that changes with the seasons in texture and color.

Come play, camp, fish, float, canoe, build, live - or just sit and listen to the waters in solace. Access is via groomed gravel roadways that bring you in all the way to the water. Infrequent is the opportunity within one's lifetime to acquire such a substantive property with a river of such exquisite existence. $3,410,000.
