Property Description
Now available: The Dahlonega Inn on Main, formerly the historic Worley Homestead, a beautifully restored 1845-1846 estate located in the heart of Dahlonega’s National Historic District. Originally lived in by Captain Jasper F. Worley, this rare post-Civil War property blends historic charm with modern income-producing potential.
This 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom main residence operates as a boutique bed & breakfast and includes the adjacent Chestnut Cottage. The home showcases original heart pine floors, preserved 1845 wood walls, and seven fully rebuilt fireplaces. Recent upgrades include modernized electrical systems, fresh exterior and interior paint, new fascia and gutters, and a restored front porch with new wood flooring.
The property also features two additional income-producing units:
Chestnut Cottage: 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house
Lower-Level Apartment: 1-bedroom, 1-bath with full kitchen and private exterior entrance
All three units are turnkey and actively generating income, making this an ideal opportunity for an investor, operator, or lifestyle buyer.
Prime location just one block from the historic Holly Theater and two blocks from Dahlonega’s vibrant town square. Directly across from the University of North Georgia’s iconic Price Memorial Hall and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and university facilities.
