Nestled near the head of McLemore Cove in northwest Georgia, this property offers a stunning setting surrounded by fertile farmland and staggering mountains. Shankle Ridge runs through the middle of the valley, providing a prime vantage point to enjoy panoramic views. This property is uniquely situated on the ridge, with views of the valley and mountains in nearly every direction. Your architect will have a blast deciding how to best capture the sunrise over Pigeon Mountain and the sunset over Lookout Mountain. The property itself is composed of 50 rolling acres of hardwoods, which create great privacy and recreational opportunities. The approach to the homesite, a half-mile drive beneath the protected canopy of hardwoods, builds anticipation for the dramatic reveal at the top of the ridge. Conveniently located just two hours from Atlanta and 40 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, TN, this property is adjacent to the 21,000+ acre Crockford-Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area. The WMA offers camping, hunting, fishing, hang gliding, caving, and miles of trails for horseback riding, biking, and hiking.
