About This Property

Prime Sandy Springs Development Opportunity! An exceptional opportunity for builders or developers to create a project in one of Sandy Springs' most desirable neighborhoods. This 3.16-acre property, located just over a mile from Chastain Park, offers a rare combination of privacy, acreage, and future value. Set on a generously sized lot with gently sloping topography, the property provides a perfect canvas to build a dream home or development, with endless design potential. An existing well-maintained 1940 ranch home adds value while offering flexibility for renovation or redevelopment. Conveniently located near top-rated public and private schools, premier shopping and dining, and major Atlanta thoroughfares including I-285 and GA-400, commuting throughout the metro area is seamless. The property is just a short bike ride to City Springs, home to the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, City Green events, fountains, restaurants, and community gatherings, and within walking distance of multiple parks in a city known for over 950 acres of green space and natural areas. This property combines exceptional privacy, prime location, and development potential in one of Atlanta's most sought-after areas. Anticipated sidewalk additions along Lake Forrest Drive will further enhance accessibility and long-term appeal. Whether for a custom estate or investment project, this offering represents a rare opportunity in the heart of Sandy Springs to create a truly remarkable property in a rapidly evolving neighborhood.
