North River Farm Neighborhood
A Distinctive Community Surrounded by Nature
North River Farm is a private residential community offering estate-sized mini-farm properties in a beautiful natural setting. With a variety of homesites to choose from, including riverfront and mountain views, wooded retreats, and open properties overlooking rolling pastures, residents can enjoy both privacy and the beauty of Northwest Georgia.
The North River Farm Homeowners Association maintains approximately 75 acres of shared community property along the scenic Oostanaula River. These common areas provide an exceptional setting for outdoor recreation, relaxation, and time spent with family and friends.
A thoughtfully landscaped entrance welcomes residents and guests into this distinctive community, reflecting the character and exclusivity of one of Northwest Georgia’s desirable addresses.
Community Features & Amenities
Spring-fed community lake stocked with fish and frequented by waterfowl, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Lakeside pavilion featuring a fireplace and entertainment space that can accommodate larger events and gatherings, as well as family celebrations, neighborhood get-togethers, and private functions hosted by property owners and their guests.
Riverfront nature trail providing a scenic route for hiking, biking, and horseback riding while enjoying the natural beauty of the property.
North River Farm offers a rare combination of privacy, open space, and recreational amenities, all within a thoughtfully designed community surrounded by Northwest Georgia’s natural landscape.
A Lifestyle Worth Staying For
Life in Rome offers far more than the charm of a historic Southern city. Set where three rivers meet in the foothills of Northwest Georgia, Rome combines natural beauty, a vibrant downtown, higher education, arts and culture, and an active outdoor lifestyle in a community that still feels distinctly its own.
Throughout the year, the city comes alive with art, music, food, festivals, and community events. From the Rome International Film Festival and Rome Shakespeare Festival to First Friday concerts, ROFLO Fest, Runningman, seasonal farmer’s markets, and gatherings along the rivers and trails, there is always something to discover. Add an impressive selection of locally owned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, coffee shops, live performances, and outdoor recreation, and it becomes easy to enjoy a full and engaging lifestyle without leaving Rome.
Outdoor recreation is woven into everyday life here. More than 28 trails covering approximately 199 miles extend throughout Floyd County, offering opportunities for hiking, walking, running, and cycling. Rome’s three rivers also provide a scenic backdrop for kayaking, fishing, and time on the water, while area golf courses, tennis facilities, parks, and pickleball courts offer even more ways to enjoy the outdoors.
For those considering a move to Northwest Georgia, Rome offers something increasingly difficult to find: the cultural and recreational amenities of a larger community paired with the character, natural setting, and accessibility of a smaller Southern city.
