This 78acre tract in Carroll County has high development potential. With its generous size, strong road presence, and desirable location within one of West Georgia's fastestgrowing counties, this property stands out as a strategic opportunity for builders, investors, or those seeking a large private estate with future upside. The land is entirely wooded, featuring a healthy mix of pine and hardwoods that provide both aesthetic appeal and flexibility for clearing, selective thinning, or phased development. The topography is usable and varied, offering multiple potential homesites, internal road layouts, and natural buffers that lend themselves well to subdivision design or a single large estate tract. Carroll County continues to experience steady residential growth, and tracts of this size with development potential are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're exploring a small residential community, a family compound, or a longterm investment hold, this property delivers the acreage, setting, and location to support a wide range of visions.

Oak Mountain, located between Carrollton GreenBelt and the University of West Georgia campus, is a residential and wooded Carrollton neighborhood with curving streets and a quiet, hillside feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Maple Street and Adamson Square, where coffee counters, indie boutiques, and gallery-style storefronts set an unhurried downtown rhythm. Community pillars include the Carrollton Center for the Arts, the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center, and Local Ties Brewing Company. Homes lean toward traditional suburban forms with mature tree cover and deep setbacks. The GreenBelt frames daily routines with shaded loops for walking and cycling. UWG adds a steady current of lectures, performances, and game-day energy nearby.
