Marketing description
Gordon Lee Farm is a rare 305± acre legacy property set in the rolling landscape of Chickamauga, Georgia—an area known for its natural beauty, rich history, and strong sense of place. With a remarkable mix of large water features, fertile ground, and classic improvements, the farm feels both park-like and deeply rooted in the character of northwest Georgia. Portions of the property lie within the city limits of Chickamauga, yet the setting remains peaceful and private, offering the best of small-town charm and rural retreat. Owned by a family since 1939, Gordon Lee Farm is a place that brings people together having fostered countless celebrations, respite, communion, recreation, and memories.
At the heart of the property is the 28± acre spring-fed Krystal Lake offering outstanding fishing and a tranquil setting. The 3,584± sq. ft. Lodge serves as the central gathering place well-suited for entertaining, featuring a large open floor plan with pass-through kitchen, 4 bedrooms, screened porch, pool, and shaded patios that extend the living space into the outdoors. The 2,174± sq. ft. Lake House overlooks the water, complete with four bedrooms, a dock, and covered boathouse. Nearby, additional improvements include a horse barn and riding ring, Manager’s House, Stone House, and multiple barns to support farming and equipment needs.
The land itself is equally exceptional. Gordon Lee Farm offers 1.5± miles along the significant Crawfish Spring that merges with nearly a mile of frontage along West Chickamauga Creek —creating an impressive network of water that encompasses nearly all of the property’s boundary. The 45± acres of productive crop fields and the 140± acres of hayfields and pastures support the agricultural and recreational components of the farm. Classic white three-board fencing frames over a mile of road frontage.
Located just half a mile from historic downtown Chickamauga and only 25 minutes from Chattanooga, the property sits in the center of one of the Southeast’s most recreation-rich and culturally vibrant regions. Hiking, riding, fishing, climbing, and exploring the nearby state parks, national military parks, and conserved lands are all within easy reach. And with Chattanooga’s thriving food scene, riverfront parks, live music, museums, and outdoor-focused lifestyle close by, owners can enjoy the perfect blend of rural quiet and urban convenience. The area’s deep heritage—once part of the historic holdings of Gordon Lee, the notable 19th-century landowner and statesman—adds another layer of significance to this remarkable place.
Offered for the first time in approximately 85 years, Gordon Lee Farm is a legacy property that combines history, natural beauty, and exceptional recreational amenities in a location that continues to grow in appeal. It is an extraordinary opportunity to own one of northwest Georgia’s most storied and scenic farms.
