North Georgia Acreage Surrounded by Mountain Views (Previously Listed) -

A consolidation of six distinctive parcels with the highest elevation points, this scenic North Georgia property exemplifies the very essence of nature and its beauty. Located in the city of Fairmount, the land spans 880 +/- acres near the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Fairmount has had a post office since 1850 but incorporated as a town in 1897. It became a city in 1927 and is located within southeastern Gordon County in the valley of Salacoa Creek, a northwestern flowing tributary of the Coosawattee River. Gordon County is also home to other cities such as Calhoun, Plainville, Ranger, Resaca and several unincorporated communities. Gordon County is home to New Echota, which was once the Cherokee Nation’s capital. It was the origin of the Cherokee written language and newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix. About a one-hour drive both north to Chattanooga and south to the Buckhead area of Atlanta, this property is ideal for a variety of improvement.

Offering 360-degree panoramic mountain views, the land currently produces income operating as an all-terrain vehicle park. Because of low Pickens County taxes and greater flexibility than neighboring Cherokee County, the land would be well suited for a myriad of development opportunities. Subdivide the property into individual mini-farms, and maximize the land resources for small scale growing. Redevelop the land entirely into a sustainably designed, self-contained, mixed-used eco-community or agrihood with limitless potential.

An agrihood is defined as an organized community that integrates agriculture into a residential neighborhood. The purpose of these communities is to facilitate food production while, at the same time, providing recreation for members of the community. Agrihoods are based around the concept of integrating farms and gardens into neighborhoods or vice versa. This integration allows for communities to supply themselves with food. Most of this food production is heavily influenced by organic and sustainable agriculture. According to several sources, the trend of moving to agrihoods is more common among millennials. Serenbe is a Georgia agrihood that has experienced much growth since it was initially opened in 2004.

This land has a vast amount of potential, including residential development, a hilltop inn, a plethora of amenities, horse stables and more. The possibilities are endless!
