3617 Pea Ridge Rd, Cornelia, GA 30531

Follow the gated drive into this private 11.39 acre retreat, tucked away in North Georgia where towering hardwoods, rolling ground, and distant mountain ridges create the kind of setting that feels a world away from everything else. A clear stream winds through the property, spilling over a beautiful small waterfall before feeding a private pond complete with its own dock, an ideal spot to fish for bream, bluegill, and bass, or simply sit still and let the day slow down. The land is made for gathering, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors, with room for campfires. The main home carries the warmth and character of a mountain lodge, with rich hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, soaring tongue and groove ceilings, and windows that bring the outside in at every turn. The open living spaces feel both spacious and inviting, while the loft adds flexible room for guests, a bunk space, or a quiet hideaway. With five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one half bath, there is room here for a full time homestead, a weekend retreat, or a place where family and friends never run out of reasons to stay a little longer. The basement offers excellent guest quarters or a separate living area, and the covered and screened porches give you front-row seats to the peaceful wooded setting. Adding even more opportunity, the property includes a completely gutted 480 square foot one bedroom, one bath cabin already served by its own septic system and power meter, opening the door for a future guest house, rental, studio, or in-law space. A 25x30 shop adds practical value for equipment, projects, or storage. The RV / camper hookup has water and power, ready for guests to feel more like a private park than a backyard. This is the kind of property people talk about wanting all the time; privacy, water, usable improvements, and real character, but very few ever actually find.
