An exceptional offering in the North Georgia mountains, this is a property few will ever have the opportunity to own. Set along Old Bucktown Road and bordering over 10,000 acres of protected U.S. National Forest, the setting is defined by privacy, scale, and enduring natural beauty. With approximately 5,000 feet of frontage on Tickanetley Creek—a renowned trout stream—the property offers a rare combination of powerful water presence and year-round mountain views. Rolling pastures, some already fenced, create a landscape equally suited for a refined private estate, equestrian use, or a legacy retreat. An original homeplace rests near a spring-fed branch beneath mature hardwoods and rare American Chestnut trees, adding a sense of history and authenticity to the land. The true value lies in the setting itself—an irreplaceable canvas for those seeking something meaningful and lasting. Located near Springer Mountain, at the southern gateway to the Appalachian Trail, this property represents a unique convergence of natural significance, privacy, and scale. Properties of this caliber—offering substantial acreage, protected boundaries, significant water frontage, and long-range views—are seldom available. This is not simply land, but a generational holding for the discerning buyer. Seller financing available with 20% down.

This is the first time this 3.29 acre premium CREEKFRONT tract has ever been on the market. With a wide, gentle driveway that has already been cut in, and the start of a large house site cleared, build your new mountain home perched up perfectly overlooking the cascading waters of Tails Creek. Watch this 40' wide trout stream collide with massive rock boulders as it makes its way across the backside of your property. This tract of land is very private and quiet, as it's located at the back of the subdivision in a cul-de-sac. Across the approximately 434' of creek frontage is nothing but dense forest with huge hardwood trees towering up into the sky. The topography of the property is flat by the road, gently slopes down with a switch back driveway leading to the proposed home site, then flat again by the creek with a good amount of flat land next to the water for your enjoyment. Buy and enjoy this property now, build later, as this community is RV friendly. If you're ready to build, soil, survey, and preliminary septic work has already been completed. Bring your builder or we'll introduce you to one of ours. Appalachia on Tails Creek is a small, private, 14 lot subdivision. Just outside the community, only a few minutes away, is Jake's Landing. Which is a public park with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, river access and a boat ramp which leads you into Carter's Lake.
