Cul-de-sacs are good. Cul-de-sacs in the North Georgia mountains are better. Tucked inside the gated community of The Vineyard at Yukon, this cul-de-sac homesite offers the kind of setting people usually have in mind when they start talking about building in the mountains. Once developed, the lot is positioned to take advantage of mountain views, and the community pool and The Lookout pavilion are just steps away. Electricity and high-speed internet are already installed, and the property comes with a completed plat and soil test. In other words, some of the decidedly un-fun parts of buying land have already been checked off the list. Chateau Meichtry Family Vineyard and Winery is right next door, and downtown Ellijay is about 20 minutes away when you want restaurants, shopping or just an afternoon in town. Cul-de-sac. Mountain views. Gated community. Winery next door. Utilities in place. Bring the house plans. Additional Lots 39, 40 and 41 are also available.

Corner lots just give you options. And when that corner lot happens to be inside a gated North Georgia community with mountain views, a pool and a winery next door, the options get a little more interesting. Located in The Vineyard at Yukon, this corner homesite is positioned for mountain views once developed and sits just steps from the community pool and The Lookout pavilion. Electricity and high-speed internet are already in place, and the property comes with a completed plat and soil test. Outside the community, Chateau Meichtry Family Vineyard and Winery is right next door, and downtown Ellijay is about 20 minutes away for shopping, restaurants and a little mountain-town wandering. Corner lot. Mountain setting. Community amenities. Winery nearby. Utilities already handled. Not a bad place to start. Additional Lots 39, 40 and 43 are also available.

Building in the mountains sounds romantic. Figuring out utilities, internet, soil tests and paperwork? Slightly less romantic. Fortunately, some of that homework has already been done here. Located inside the gated community of The Vineyard at Yukon, this homesite is positioned to take advantage of mountain views once developed and sits just steps from the community pool and The Lookout pavilion. Electricity and high-speed internet are already installed, and a completed plat and soil test come with the property. Chateau Meichtry Family Vineyard and Winery is right next door, while downtown Ellijay is only about 20 minutes away for shopping, dining and a change of scenery when you feel like leaving your own. Mountain setting. Gated community. Amenities nearby. Utilities in place. A lot of the boring stuff already handled. Additional Lots 39, 41 and 43 are also available.

Some lots make you work pretty hard to imagine the finished product. This one does not. Set inside the gated community of The Vineyard at Yukon, this square homesite gives you a practical footprint, a North Georgia setting and the possibility of mountain views once developed. The location within the community is a good one too, just steps from the pool and The Lookout pavilion. And a few of the less glamorous-but very important-details are already handled. Electricity and high-speed internet are in place, and the property comes with a completed plat and soil test. Then there is the location beyond the gate. Chateau Meichtry Family Vineyard and Winery is right next door, and downtown Ellijay is about 20 minutes away for restaurants, shopping and everything else that gives you an excuse to wander into town. Square lot. Mountain setting. Pool and pavilion nearby. Winery next door. Utilities already in place. Now it just needs the house. Additional Lots 40, 41 and 43 are also available.

Long-range mountain views with lots of privacy on this 6.83-acre double lot, with 414 acres of conservation woodlands adjoining the rear boundary. Just behind the For Sale sign is a natural area for a potential homesite, shown on one of the property photos. Build toward the road to capture the best views. The leaves are about to drop and open up a wide mountain vista. For now, peek through the trees in the photos to see the potential, and check out the aerial photos for a look at the long-range northeast views. If the property is still available once the leaves are down, photos will be updated. The drone was just above the treetops when these photos were taken, so the view from the property will flatten only slightly. With two lots totaling 6.83 acres, there is plenty of land to enjoy beyond your homesite. Create your own private hiking trail through the woods, winding down to the little creek that begins at a spring head on the property. Or simply leave it natural and enjoy the privacy, peace, and quiet that come with having this much land around you. Falling Waters is a luxury gated mountain community with paved roads, underground utilities, a picturesque fishing lake, a postcard-worthy hiking trail, and more. Close to apple orchards, wineries, and the seasonal attractions North Georgia is known for, with both Ellijay and Jasper approximately 20-25 minutes away. Minimum home size is 2,000 sq ft for a ranch and 2,800 sq ft for a two-level home. Falling Waters is gated, and per HOA requirements, all buyers must be accompanied by an agent to enter and view the property. Contours shown in the property photos are approximate and provided for reference only.
