Norton Commercial & Acreage Group is proud to present a rare 9-acre riverfront homesite located at 5565 Cavender Creek Road in Dahlonega, Georgia, within the Rural Places Character Area. This exceptional offering presents an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind private residence in a setting defined by natural beauty, privacy, and long-term preservation. The property features some mountain views and over 350 feet of frontage on the Chestatee River, including picturesque shoals and the ambient sounds of running water that can be enjoyed from the primary homesite. An established gated entrance and paved driveway are already in place, providing convenient access and enhancing the property's sense of privacy from arrival. The wooded setting and varied terrain create an ideal canvas for a thoughtfully designed custom home or legacy property, with topography and river orientation that support elevated views and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. In addition to its appeal as a private retreat, the property also offers potential for short-term rental or agritourism-oriented use, benefiting from continued demand for North Georgia mountain stays that emphasize water features, views, and outdoor recreation, subject to local regulations. Location Description Located just outside downtown Dahlonega, the property provides easy access to the historic square, the University of North Georgia, regional healthcare, dining, and retail, along with nearby wineries, waterfalls, and outdoor recreation. Connectivity to regional roadways allows for access to Gainesville and the greater North Georgia region, while preserving the privacy that defines this exceptional homesite.
