    True log constructionAuthentic log homeGleaming hardwood floorsTwo rv hookupsDurable metal roofPartially covered back deckStunning floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace
    Crafted with exceptional care and timeless craftsmanship, this authentic log home is a true labor of love. Built from the ground up by the sellers, every log was personally hand-selected, hand-hewn, and meticulously dovetailed with a chainsaw, creating a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat that simply cannot be replicated. Nestled on 2.25 beautifully landscaped acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Step onto the inviting covered rocking chair front porch and take in the peaceful surroundings before entering a warm and welcoming interior featuring true log construction, gleaming hardwood floors, a stunning floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, and a spacious kitchen with granite countertops. A durable metal roof provides years of low-maintenance living. Designed for entertaining, the partially covered back deck features a commercial-grade stainless steel outdoor kitchen complete with running water, making it the perfect place to host family and friends while enjoying the mountain air. The property also includes two RV hookups, offering plenty of room for guests or additional recreational opportunities. Thoughtfully equipped for convenience and peace of mind, the home includes a partial-house generator capable of powering the well, water heater, refrigerators, freezer, and selected lighting during outages. An irrigation system keeps the lush landscaping and flowering gardens looking their best throughout the seasons. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature with Cathy Creek meandering along the back of the property and beautiful views of Tray Mountain. Conveniently located just minutes from both Cleveland and Helen, you'll have easy access to hiking trails, waterfalls, award-winning wineries, shopping, and dining while still enjoying the tranquility and privacy of your own mountain haven. As an added bonus, the property is county-approved for short-term rentals, offering excellent potential as a vacation home, income-producing investment, or full-time mountain retreat. Whether you're looking for a peaceful personal escape or an opportunity to generate rental income, this authentic handcrafted log home offers the best of both worlds, with unmatched character, exceptional craftsmanship, and a picturesque North Georgia setting.
