The site features a compelling mix of wooded acreage, rolling terrain, open fields and two private lakes, including the approximately 8-acre Brice Lake and 2.5-acre Girl Scout Camp Echo Lake. Zoned RSR and RA, the property is well suited for a thoughtfully planned conservation Subdivision centered around larger homesites, preserved open space and the site's existing natural features. Its substantial acreage and varied landscape provide opportunities to create a lower-density residential setting that maintains privacy while highlighting the lakes, wooded surroundings and scenic North Georgia character. Public water is available to the property; however, public sewer is not currently available. LOCATION OVERVIEW: The property is ideally situated between Dawsonville and the North Georgia Premium Outlets on GA-400, placing it near two of the area's most active destinations while preserving the privacy and natural character of a large-acreage setting. Located approximately 4 miles, or 9 minutes, from GA-400 and roughly 5.3 miles, or 12 minutes, from the North Georgia Premium Outlets, the site offers convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, national retailers, medical services and everyday conveniences. This location creates an especially appealing balance between accessibility and seclusion. Future residents would be minutes from Dawsonville's established amenities and the growing GA-400 commercial corridor, yet surrounded by larger homesites, preserved acreage, wooded landscapes and private lakes. With Lake Lanier, Dawson County schools and regional medical services also within a short drive, the property is well positioned for a distinctive conservation-focused residential community that offers both convenience and a true sense of retreat.
