Perched atop a private ridgeline on prestigious Chenocetah Mountain, this 13.5-acre tract represents a premier development opportunity defined by elevation, infrastructure, and panoramic mountain views anchored by Mount Yonah. The property features a commanding ridgeline position with potential for multiple individual lots with current zoning and approval for a re-plat process through the City of Cornelia, most offering long-range layered mountain views and privacy-an increasingly scarce combination in Northeast Georgia. With existing graded access, city water and sewer availability, and proximity to major growth corridors, the site is uniquely positioned for a boutique luxury residential development or private gated enclave. Bordering 650 acres of protected Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, the property offers built-in recreational adjacency and permanent view protection-key differentiators for high-end lot absorption. Direct connectivity to Lake Russell further enhances marketability, creating a lifestyle-driven development narrative. Located just 3 miles from Hwy 365, the site benefits from proximity to Atlanta, Athens, Gainesville, and Greenville, while also sitting within a region experiencing expanding economic activity including the new inland port and regional job growth. An existing fully renovated 3,000+ sq ft residence provides immediate optionality - serving as a developer residence, short-term rental, or income-producing asset during development phasing. The home is a fully renovated 4-bedroom, 4-bath classic mid-century modern residence blends modern comfort with timeless natural surroundings. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features an open-concept kitchen and living space, and multiple porches-including a screened-in outdoor living area. Large, view-driven parcels with infrastructure in place are increasingly rare in this corridor. This offering provides a compelling combination of topography, utilities, access, and irreplaceable views, making it well suited for a high-margin, low-density luxury development or legacy land hold.
