Nestled in one of Sandy Springs’ most prestigious neighborhoods and surrounded by multi-million-dollar estate homes, this remarkable 2.5+ acre property offers a rare opportunity to build your dream residence in an elite setting. Positioned on a highly sought-after street lined with luxury homes, the lot features approximately 261 feet of road frontage and extends roughly 385 feet deep, providing exceptional space, privacy, and flexibility. The existing 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch home is an older structure and is best suited for renovation or teardown, allowing the new owners to fully maximize the value of the land and surrounding estate environment. With the current RE-2 zoning, the property supports a variety of custom home possibilities. This property is located within the desirable Heards Ferry Elementary School district and just minutes from Riverwood International Charter School and Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School. Sewer connection is available at the rear lot line, helping streamline future development. This is rare chance to secure a premium lot in an established luxury enclave which is ideal for builders, investors, or homeowners seeking to create a custom estate among some of the area’s most finest properties.

Riverside, located between the Chattahoochee River and Roswell Road, is a residential and wooded Sandy Springs neighborhood with riverfront parkland and winding, hilly streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Riverside Drive near the Morgan Falls Road corridor, where trailheads, river overlooks, and a low-key, outdoors-first rhythm set the tone. Architectural lines lean toward mid-century ranches and larger contemporary rebuilds tucked behind mature trees. Morgan Falls Overlook Park and the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area shape daily routines with paths, water views, and picnic lawns. Local staples such as Under the Cork Tree, The Select, and the Abernathy Arts Center add a polished, community-minded cultural layer.
