Property Description
The Dahlonega Inn on Main, formerly the historic Worley Homestead, is a beautifully restored 1845 estate located in the heart of Dahlonega's National Historic District. Recently repositioned in price, this rare offering blends historic significance with income-producing potential and flexible use options.
Originally built by Captain Jasper F. Worley as a private residence, the property now operates as a boutique bed & breakfast while retaining the ability to function as a private residence or live/work estate, creating multiple acquisition and operational paths for a buyer.
The main residence features 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms and operates alongside the adjacent Chestnut Cottage. Architectural highlights include original heart pine flooring, preserved 1845 wood walls, and seven fully rebuilt fireplaces. Recent capital improvements (2024) include modernized electrical systems, fresh exterior and interior paint, new fascia and gutters, and a restored front porch with new wood flooring, preserving historic integrity while addressing modern expectations.
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 the property well-suited for an owner-operator, lifestyle buyer, or well-capitalized investor.
Prime Downtown Location:
Situated just one block from the historic Holly Theater and two blocks from Dahlonega's vibrant town square, the property sits directly across from the University of North Georgia's iconic Price Memorial Hall and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, events, and university facilities.
Zoning & Use Flexibility:
B-3 Historical Business District: Supports hospitality, professional offices, galleries, and pedestrian-oriented retail
Single-Family Residential Overlay: Recognizes the property as a single-family residence, allowing residential use within the historic business district
Permitted / Potential Uses:
