Build-ready 0.504-acre homesite in established Belvedere Acres, in the Lake Lanier area of northwest Gainesville. This lot comes with real diligence already done: a recorded boundary survey and a passed Level 3 soil study are both on file. The soil study classified all test holes as suitable for a conventional septic absorption field, with deep bedrock and a deep seasonal water table, so septic feasibility is already studied. Public water is available at the property and electric service is in the subdivision, so no private well is required and power is at the street. The lot is out of the FEMA flood zone (Zone X). Per the recorded survey it offers about 100 feet of frontage on Belvedere Drive, with a comfortable building area inside the platted 40/15/25 building lines. Zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential 1). Served by Hall County Schools, with an area median home value around $420,000 and roughly 14 percent appreciation over the last two years, convenient to Gainesville and the I-985 and GA-400 corridor. Bring your builder. The adjacent 0.668-acre lot at 4234 Belvedere Dr is also available, a rare chance to assemble two side-by-side parcels. Buyer to verify zoning, lot-of-record status and buildability, setbacks, septic permit, utility connections, and survey with Hall County. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
