"Amicalola Lake" is about as Rare & Beautiful as it gets in these North Georgia Mountains.  This 10 Acre Lake sits on a Pristine & Undeveloped Parcel of Land and offers Long Range Mountain Vista Views from three sides.

Aside from the Lake itself, one of the most prominent features of this property is the long ridgeline that runs along the southern side of the Lake, offering a variety of homesites, all of which would offer dramatic northern views - some of which would offer 270+ degree views of some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in North Georgia; this would include a view of Amicalola Falls, which is only 1 mile away - as the crow flies. (Actually the entire ridgeline faces the Amicalola Falls.)

• Acreage: 39.90 +/- acres, lake included

• APPROACH & INTERIOR ROADS: The property has an existing, well established, interior road network.  A smooth driving trail runs around the entire border of the lake.  This is connected to a higher road that traverses the dam and leads up to the ridgeline woodland areas. The road continually winds along the ridge and then out to Angel Drive - which connects to Hwy 52 West.  The road leading in from Angel Drive has several beautiful ridgeline view homes; also, bordering this tract is a phenomenal "Estate Sized Log Home" on 25 acres with another smaller lake.

• The following Photographs do a better job representing the property than words can express.

Below are 23 Stunning Photographs of the Property

As you can see, there are dramatic mountain views across the Lake.  This is only from the lower elevation along the dam.  The really dramatic views are going to come from the upper ridgeline that runs to the left of the below photo. (more on that later)

For a long series of photos, we're going to show a photo shoot of the lake as we walk around to the right of the lake - all the way around - eventually ending up on the far left side.

Above and below we're at the right corner of the dam, about to head down the right hand roadway that runs all the way down to the farthest right end of the lake. First let me comment on some of the ridgeline that we see straight ahead in the photo below:

The Ridgeline, directly on the other side of the dam, is 60 - 80' above the elevation along the dam.  Way down at the far right side of the photo - across the lake - that ridgeline is about 50' above the dam elevation.  This point bears out that those sites will offer much more dramatic views over the lake than those already pictured.

Now, lets continue our tour around the lake.....

Below is a zoom shot across the lake.  On the left is a small island. When the lake was originally built back in the 60's, the plan was to put a gazebo out there - connected by a bridge.  It's still a great option.  Straight ahead, in the rear, is a beautiful 4 - 5 acre knoll (mentioned earlier); the upper elevation is about 50' above the dam elevation; from the slopes of that little knoll, you have amazing views over the lake - showing the mountain ranges in the distance and a beautiful, straight view shot of Amicalola Falls & The Lodge.

Below is a photo looking down a peninsula of land that divides the lake at the rear.  Across the lake in the distance to the right is the dam.  Three feeder creeks enter the lake to the left & right of this peninsula. These creeks allow for rainbow trout to reproduce in these waters.

Below is a photo back towards the rear woodland.  The rear property line is about where the road goes out of sight.  The next property is a private 40 acre estate owned by an Atlanta attorney.  To the left of the trail, the property slopes up to the rear side of the small knoll mentioned a few photos prior.

The ABOVE PHOTO gives us an opportunity to discuss the "Prime Homesite". In the above, you can see the little "Gazebo Island" straight ahead (2nd in rear).  Just to the right of that you see the trees as they begin to merge up along that ridgeline.  THAT is a beautiful building site that would allow you to have near lakeside access but also afford you the dramatic views across the lake towards the distant mountain vistas / Amicalola Falls, etc...  You'd be centered right in the middle of that side of the lake.  Of course, so many other great building sites exist as well. Once upon a time, the owner gave great thought to doing such a thing and that site emerged as his best choice.  As an estate property - you'd be able to build "Guest Homes/Cabins" at various wonderful locations as well.

Above and below are overlooking the rear right-hand finger of the lake.  This portion of the lake is only between 2 - 4 feet deep and houses some water birds, i.e., blue heron & cranes, and serves as a "fish breeding ground".  While the majority of the lake is deep water - this is sort of the "creek entry marshland'.  

This would be a good time to sit and take a break - tell you a bit about the fish & wildlife.  There's an amazing amount of birdlife and even some beavers live back in there. You'll get visiting ducks & geese as well.  The lake is stocked with just about everything you can imagine: Bass, Brim, Catfish & Trout.  Plenty of Deer, Bear & Turkey roam the land as well.

Now we're going to do a quick tour of the other side of the dam, the lower fields & creek and show some of the woodland Ridgeline.  PROPERTY LINE NOTE:  All of the fields pictured below are NOT part of this property but belong to the Owner's old main 12 Acre Estate (not for sale).  The property line in ALL the following photographs follow the tree line in the ridge you see directly above.  We're just trying to give you an idea of the beautiful immediate surroundings but also to highlight that beautiful ridgeline (pictured in distance below), which IS part of the property.

Above and below we are standing on the dam looking down at the fields below.  All of the fields above are not part of the property for sale, but show the surrounding land below the dam.  Below right, you see the treeline, which is the property line and our property flows up the ridge and then back to the right behind that car, and along that entire side of the lake. 

Below, we're in the fields looking back up towards the dam, with the 40 acre ridgeline border at left (treeline again).  The next few photos are just taken from farther and farther views.  This gives you another good view of the ridgeline but also provides some very pretty surrounding area pictures.

The little stream shown above is the overflow stream from the lake, the dam being pictured straight up at the end, and then the lake sort of wraps around to the left behind ridge.

This last 2 photos above shows the far end of the woodland ridge knoll - with the Lake back behind it to the right, down below the 2 big puffy clouds you see stacked on each other above right.  Remember, that the fields you see in the immediate foreground in the above photo are NOT part of the main property for sale, and are simply representative of the surrounding area below the dam.   But the big wooded knoll you see IS part of the property and it stretched back far beyond what you see above, and offers perfect building site views to the right over the lake and towards Amicalola Falls and the Surrounding Mountains.  To give you a better idea of the locations and scale of property size involved, the photo above was taken from the spot indicated by the "Blue Dot" below, looking in the direction of arrow.
