The 729-foot falls that the Cherokee Indians named Amicalola, meaning, "tumbling waters."
I have a new listing for 2 lots (10.55 acres) right across the street from the park entrance. So, Saturday it was a work/play trip. (Place a sign, take photos, and explore the property.) Then a nice hike up the falls.
The weather was beautiful. We decided to go early before the real heat set in. I had been to the falls once before, and remembered how steep the climb. It was a tough hike to the first deck. That's where the stairs begin. The first set to the main summit is 175 stairs. Once you reach the summit, if you are REALLY fit and full of energy, try the second set which I believe was 450 stairs. If you make to to the top, you will discover that you can actually drive around the falls to the top, walk right out to the deck and look down. But that really takes all the fun out of it doesn't it?
The falls are absolutely gorgeous. And the view from the top is incredible. If you're in the area, make sure to plan to visit. There's a picnic/play area, visitor center, wading pool (fishing pond), hiking trails, cottages, campground and even a lodge & restuarant.
Once you have visited the falls, you'll be so impressed you will begin to imagine how nice it would be to visit more often. How amazing it would be to live here! Why..you could use it as the most beautiful outdoor gym in the world! Yes! A mountain cabin neslted nearby would be Just The Ticket!
Ok! Drive out of the park and right across the street you will see a sign that says "Amicolola Woods". This is a small, pristine, private community of mountain homes/cabins set in the beauty of nature.
We are offering 2 lots for sale. Lot 20 & Lot 32, adjacent to each other. Each lot has a well, and is just over 5 acres each for a total of 10.55 acres. There are minimal restrictions & covenants. Affordably priced at only $109,900! Email me for more information!
