Turkey Ridge is 339± acres of undeveloped land located in a highly sought-after area just 30 minutes south of downtown Chattanooga, TN and near the community of Chickamauga, GA.  Located within a pastoral setting of North Georgia, this property has a rolling topography with some nice elevation and house sites that would offer great views of the surrounding valley. The property primarily consists of mature hardwood forests and there are ~10 acres of meandering fields on its northern section and a number of smaller food plots scattered about. There is a good road system and the property is surrounded by large landowners giving it an ideal neighbor situation. Turkey Ridge is covered up with wildlife and offers great hunting opportunities for whitetail deer and turkey. The property does not have a conservation easement and it would be a great candidate for one. Turkey Ridge is a great place to build your ideal hunting camp, weekend getaway, or main family residence.  In this area, land priced at this low of a per acre price ($2,050) is very difficult to find, particularly given its proximity to Chattanooga. It is also just 1 hour 45 minutes from Atlanta.

Broker’s Comment

Property Details

Location

Located in northwest Georgia, Turkey Ridge sits at the most northern reaches of McLemore Cove and tucked into the foothills of Pigeon Mountain. McLemore Cove is a 15-mile valley between Lookout and Pigeon Mountain that consists of rolling pastures, tall silos, and shady country lanes.  Recognizing that the cove is indeed special, the state and the National Register of Historic Places has declared it the McLemore Cove Historic District. Encompassing 50,000 acres in Walker County, the Cove is by far the largest of Georgia’s eight rural historical districts. 

Notably, the property is only 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, TN. Chattanooga has become one of America’s most dynamic middle-size cities with an array of exciting venues for nearby residents. New York Times is quoted as saying, “Not too small and not too big, Chattanooga is really the undiscovered gem of Tennessee.” This convenience to all of Chattanooga’s amenities is a real benefit to owning Turkey Ridge.

For those wanting to call Turkey Ridge home, there is a quality public school system located in Chickamauga.  Less than 10 minutes away from the front gate is Chickamauga Elementary School and Gordon Lee Middle and High School.  The school system spans the full K-12 range.
