Just over an hour north of Atlanta, this 38.6-acre property known as "Inola" is nestled in a forest. This property has the potential to be a one-of-a-kind, first in Blue Ridge, new urbanist style development and is the world's largest collection of exact replica Colonial Williamsburg buildings. The property is just 1 mi from downtown Blue Ridge, seen by over 500,000 visitors each year to neighbor Mercier Orchards, only a 4 mi drive to Lake Blue Ridge, and surrounded by all the natural amenities of the Blue Ridge mountains. Inola is teeming with opportunity in the heart of the fastest growing luxury mountain town in the South. JV opportunity for an entrepreneur or hospitality group could capitalize on the thriving special events business that is already booking weddings for 2026. The current owner/operators will stay on as operators, minority equity owners & consultants, or whatever scenario is amenable to all parties. The owners have master land plans from the famed designer Jeff Speck, land planner for Rosemary Beach and many other developments. The current owners worked with internationally renowned land planners and architect Stephen Fuller to develop plans for homes to be built in either the traditional new urbanist town style, or a traditional neighborhood with only 10 estate lots. If you have a developer's vision, you'll recognize Inola as a ripe opportunity. Buildings include homes, a 90-seat chapel surrounded by formal English gardens and a 6,000 SF event space, stables, barns, tavern/inn, post office, and shops along the roughly 1/4 mile long "main street" with pea gravel roads and white fences all looking over the 3+ acre Sugar Lake, replete with trophy bass and large koi. The colonial buildings are the most period-perfect in the U. S., handblown windows, 300-year-old wood floors, exquisite moldings and appointments, 14 fireplaces. Each brick is the correct color, size and number of bricks for the facades and were meticulously recreated over a 10-year construction period. Built by an eccentric visionary in the 1980s with construction management by the town architect from Colonial Williamsburg VA painstakingly recreated the village. The current owners have thoughtfully renovated and improved the landscaping and building interiors using an elegantly appointed chic modern flare. The estate has taken on a new life as an upscale mixed-use new urbanist property with weddings, special events, and a desirable movie location. The focal point of the property is the Wythe Mansion, an impressive exact replica of the famous Williamsburg estate. The newest addition is a 2,000 sq ft luxury suite on the top floor that is ready for custom finishing. In total, there are over 15 bedrooms, 12 full baths, and 5 1/2 baths in 4 residences on the property. Voted as "Best Destination Wedding Venue in Georgia '22, '23 & '24" by Jezebel, '23 "Best Destination Wedding Venue for the S. E and Caribbean" by Modern Luxury Weddings, and "Couples Choice Award '22, '23 & '24" by readers of Wedding Wire & The Knot and many more accolades - Inola has a successful, built-in special events business, with room to grow. "Wetherburn's Tavern" is an exact replica of the Williamsburg famed Tavern and Inn, with event space for up to 75 and guest suites. The 6,000 square foot, opulent Orchard Pavilion and adjoining formal gardens can seat up to 300 guests and overlooks beautiful pastureland and 3+ acre Sugar Lake. Infrastructure can perfectly accommodate large events, with wifi throughout the grounds, plenty of parking, pea gravel covering 90% of the roads, all underground utilities, three phase power, and 1 gig of fiber. This is a rare opportunity for an irreplaceable business development or private estate.
