320 +/- Acres Off Straight Gut Rd, LaFayette, GA 30728

Land like this does not come up often in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains. This secluded, scenic Walker County tract offers +/- 320 acres of mature natural pine and hardwood timber, varied terrain, creeks, long mountain views and room to build. It works as a timber investment, a hunting and recreational property, and a place to build a home or hunting cabin. The property runs about one mile from north to south, a depth that is hard to find in this part of Georgia. Combined with +/- 320 acres, that length gives you real separation from the road and from neighbors. It also gives you plenty of ground to explore, manage and enjoy. The land has a lot of character. Rolling terrain gives way to flat areas, and a few steeper hillsides add relief. Ridge-and-hollow country runs through the tract, with several small creeks flowing along the bottoms of the hardwood hollows. Beyond the pleasant scenery, this mix of ground gives you a wide choice of building sites, trail routes and hunting setups. One of the biggest features of this property is its natural hardwood and pine timber. The tree species include white oak, red oak, hickory, poplar and loblolly pine, along with other hardwoods and pines. On a tract this size, there is potential for income from timber harvests over many years. The stands will continue to grow into more valuable timber as they mature. A buyer who wants to hold land for the long term can let the trees grow, with a forester's guidance, and consider harvest options down the road. In fall, the hardwoods turn to bright reds, oranges, and golds across the hillsides. If you have always wanted to build a dream home or a mountain cabin, this property is worth a close look. The tract offers possible homesites, including multiple homesite potential for more than one residence or a shared retreat. Open and flat areas sit alongside ground with beautiful views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Buyers should confirm utilities, septic suitability and county requirements for their chosen build site. Hunters will appreciate the size and habitat here. The property supports whitetail deer, turkey and other small game. The mix of hardwood hollows, ridges and flats gives you options for stand placement, food plots and access, depending on your land management goals. Good internal roads and trails run throughout the property, so you can reach different areas of the tract. They also support other outdoor uses, including horseback riding, camping, hiking and ATV riding. Picture opening morning with friends, a weekend at camp, or a quiet afternoon on the trails. The property is accessed from Straight Gut Road by way of a deeded access easement road, which includes the right to run utilities. The easement is recorded in Walker County, which gives the new owner documented access to the property. It is conveniently located near Lafayette, GA and Chattanooga, TN. Grocery stores, restaurants, hardware stores and hospitals are a short drive away, yet the tract feels far removed from it all. Large, secluded acreage with mature timber, recreation, mountain views and building sites is a rare find.
