In the heart of Dahlonega’s fabled Yahoola Valley lies a once-in-a-lifetime 93-acre retreat where rushing waters, boundless forest, and open sky converge. Here, Yahoola Creek meanders through the property, offering trout-filled currents, a sparkling stocked lake, and the serene soundtrack of moving water. Expansive pastures unfold for horseback riding or morning walks, while miles of private trails invite exploration by foot, ATV, or saddle. This rare estate borders more than 58,000 acres of protected national forest, creating a seamless extension of wilderness that guarantees privacy, seclusion, and an unmatched connection to the land. At sunrise, mist rises off the water as deer graze in the fields; by evening, the porch becomes the perfect vantage for fiery sunsets over the ridges. Whether fishing, hunting, or simply basking in the stillness, every day here feels like a storybook escape into nature. Anchoring the property is a custom-built modern farmhouse (2022), crafted with massive timbers, intricate millwork, and rough-sawn antique reclaimed wide plank hardwoods from a mansion in New York. A fireside family room with wood-inlay ceiling opens effortlessly to a chef’s kitchen with quartz island, solid wood cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry with bespoke cabinetry and custom coffee station. The main-level primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, and custom closets, while two upstairs ensuites continue the home’s signature craftsmanship with vaulted and beamed ceilings, and generous custom walk-in closets. Function meets design in the main-level laundry with farm sink, abundant storage, and a built-in dog wash station. An unfinished terrace level invites future vision. Outdoors, a generous stone-wrapped porch and covered deck with fireplace frame commanding views of the valley, creek, and forest. Complementing the residence is a detached 2-car garage built to the same caliber—ideal for housing ATVs, equipment, or sporting gear for endless adventures across the land. This is more than a home; it is a private sanctuary where water, wilderness, and craftsmanship meet. A property that cannot be replicated, offering a lifestyle of rare beauty, quiet grandeur, and enduring seclusion just over an hour north of Atlanta.
