Land for Sale in Folkston, Georgia
Janells River Rd, Folkston, GA 31537
Welcome to Lot 29 in Black River Subdivision, Phase 3, located on Janells River Drive in Folkston, Georgia. This impressive 12.1-acre wooded homesite offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and community amenities within a gated riverfront neighborhood. Positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property enjoys minimal close-proximity neighbors, creating a peaceful, secluded setting ideal for your custom home or private retreat.
Black River is an underdeveloped community, giving it a serene, sanctuary-like feel where nature truly shines. Wildlife is abundant: expect to see deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, and more right from your own property. The true showstopper is the St. Marys River, featuring white sandbars, towering cypress trees draped in Spanish moss, and direct access to the natural wonders connecting to the Okefenokee Swamp.
Residents enjoy access to a 60-foot community dock, concrete boat ramp, ample trailer parking, and a charming community park on Lake Deborah, perfect for fishing, paddling, or simply unwinding by the water. The neighborhood is ideal for walking, biking, horseback riding, or leisurely golf cart rides.
Conveniently located just south of Folkston and right near the Georgia/Florida state line, this property is perfect for buyers working in Florida while enjoying Georgia's favorable property taxes. You're approximately 25 minutes from Kings Bay, 30 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport, and 45 minutes from downtown Jacksonville.
Photos truly don't do this property justice--this is a must-see opportunity to experience the peace, beauty, and lifestyle that Black River has to offer.
