Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime legacy property, crowned atop its own private mountain in the North Georgia Mountains—just minutes from Habersham County Airport, offering a rare level of convenience for private aviation. Encompassing over 1,100 acres, this extraordinary estate is positioned along a prominent ridgeline at approximately 1,800 feet in elevation, overlooking its own valley, lake, and rolling pastures below. With three waterfalls, an 8+/- acre lake, a wide, gently flowing creek, mature hardwood timber, and an extensive network of trails, this is not simply a residence—it is a world unto itself.
