About Moss Creek Preserve
“Perhaps the most unique large tract of mountain land for sale in the Southeast U.S.”
Moss Creek Preserve is a rare and unique tract of 332 acres of beautiful mountain land in Fannin County, Georgia. Fannin County, one of Georgia’s northern counties that border North Carolina, is about 1 ½ hours from either Atlanta or Chattanooga, making the area popular for people interested in second homes or active retirees.
Of special significance is that the entire north property line, east property line and a portion of the south property line join the Chattahoochee National Forest, part of the United States Forest Service. Over 9300 feet (over 1.75 miles) borders the Chattahoochee National Forest. This assures Moss Creek Preserve owners the adjoining property will remain undeveloped while giving them unlimited access to tens of thousands of additional pristine acres to enjoy.
To find a piece of property “tucked into” the national forest with this amount of contiguous property line is extremely rare.
The property has 1090 feet of frontage on the Toccoa River on the southwest corner of the property between GA Highway 60 and the river. The property has an additional 11,954 feet of perennial streams, consisting of five separate streams, located throughout the property. The property also has considerable frontage on GA Highway 60.
The 332 acre tract is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with southerly views of the Toccoa River Valley and Springer Mountain, the southern starting point of the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail is less than 5 miles from the property. The tract is midway between Dahlonega and Blue Ridge on Highway 60…about 30 minutes from either town.
The property elevations range from 2000 to 2500 feet above sea level, with approximately 30 acres of open meadows and the balance covered with large trees and mountain streams flowing through the property to the Toccoa River. The property is unique for mountain property in that much of the topography change is gradual instead of steep.
A unique attribute of Fannin County is that almost one half of the county is United States Forest Service land or wilderness that can’t be developed. Of all the counties in Georgia that have a portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest in their boundaries, Fannin County has the largest amount of acreage that will be left untouched.
