ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This private lot (with minimal restrictions) and a beautiful babbling brook / creek on-site, is now available for your next homesite. The lot has been partially cleared with a newly installed gravel driveway, and has also passed a soil test for a future septic system so it is READY TO GO, with Fiber Optic cable available for high-speed internet as well! The land slopes gently from the mountain dirt road to the creek and is level enough for a possible slab or even a basement home. There are beautiful hardwood trees throughout the property. This area is about 25 minutes from the trendy mountain town of Ellijay, which is surrounded by apple orchards and vineyards and lots of nature areas for hiking and biking and rafting and all the outdoor activities, in a stunningly beautiful and rustic area called Rodger's Creek which is off the well beaten paths and very close to the national forests. Also, there is a newly cleared path (that needs a more work for easier access) to this property's creek-frontage, but please call for an easy showing. GPS may not work well, and All-wheel drive/ some vehicle clearance is best for these roads. No showings without an appointment.
