This 13.83-acre tract is a parcel of rolling hardwood timber in Banks County, Georgia, offered as part of a larger tract split into two homesites. This half fronts Christmas Tree Rd and is a blank canvas, unimproved and ready for someone looking to build on acreage surrounded by mature hardwoods and mixed pine timber. The terrain rolls gently across the property, with a good build site located close to the road. A perc test has already been completed and approved for a homesite on this tract, which removes a major unknown for anyone planning to build. Power and cable utilities are available at the road, making the site build-ready without the guesswork that often comes with raw land. The tract carries 775+/- feet of frontage along Christmas Tree Rd, giving it its own established access point separate from the rest of the original 27.66-acre property. Wildlife is abundant throughout the timber, with deer, turkey, and other game regularly present, making this as much a recreational tract as a building site. The mix of mature hardwoods and pine provides cover and habitat diversity across the property, along with the option to manage the timber long-term. Located in Banks County in the Homer, Georgia area, the property sits within a short drive of Commerce, Baldwin, and Gainesville, with Athens and the I-85 corridor also reachable in under an hour. For a buyer looking for a private, wooded homesite with road frontage and the site work already started, this tract offers a straightforward path to building in the Banks County timber.
