One of a kind property! This 2.96 Acre tract has over 750 feet of Little Tennessee River Frontage! The property is currently an active camping & glamping business - feel free to check it out at www. CarolinaRiverRanch.com - Currently set up with glamping sites, community fire-pit - out door kitchen - grill area & plenty of seating by the river & VIEW! Plus a 27 x 13 bath house w/ bathrooms, showers, washer and dryer area AND a finished studio apartment on upper level with private full bath. You could either also rent out this "suite" or use it to live in while you manage your budding seasonal business. Septic system is all permitted through Macon Co & is for a 6 bedroom home. So many options on this land - continue down the path its on, build your own private home and enjoy the river/views or also rent out for large events or weddings. Easy access to HWY 441S and yet a private setting once you've arrived. Another cool detail is this beautiful property was once home to the famous Tallulah Falls Rail Road – the road you drive in on was once the actual railroad! This area – Franklin, Highlands, & surrounding mountains – is a destination unto itself and you could have the place to stay!
