North Georgia Toccoa River Land Tract
September 14th, 2010
332± acres surrounded by U.S. Forest Service land, this magnificent parcel offers sweeping views of adjacent mountains, lush valleys and the rushing waters of the Toccoa river, adjacent creeks and meadows. The property features gently sloping wooded acres and meadows, 1000 feet of Toccoa River frontage and many other streams and creeks throughout the property.
Of special significance is that the entire north property line, east property line and a portion of the south property line join the Chattahoochee National Forest, part of the United States Forest Service. Over 9300 feet (over 1.75 miles) borders the Chattahoochee National Forest. This assures Moss Creek Preserve owners the adjoining property will remain undeveloped while giving them unlimited access to tens of thousands of additional pristine acres to enjoy.

The property has 1090 feet of frontage on the Toccoa River on the southwest corner of the property between GA Highway 60 and the river. The property has an additional 11,954 feet of perennial streams, consisting of five separate streams, located throughout the property. The property also has considerable frontage on GA Highway 60.
The 332 acre tract is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with southerly views of the Toccoa River Valley and Springer Mountain, the southern starting point of the Appalachian Trail.
