Ellijay, GA Cabin Resort Development on 60 Acres | North Georgia STR / Investment Opportunity Rare North Georgia cabin resort and boutique hospitality development opportunity on approximately 60 acres in Ellijay, GA, just outside Blue Ridge and in one of Georgia's strongest mountain vacation rental markets. This property is ideal for an investor, short-term rental operator, cabin rental company, boutique hotel developer, retreat operator, or private buyer looking to complete and own a unique mountain lodging destination. The site has been planned as a 12-unit boutique cabin resort with 9 custom glass bungalow-style units already partially constructed. Major site work and infrastructure have been completed, including internal gravel road access, utilities, unit placement, and substantial vertical progress on the lodging units. The project has received county approvals and has passed inspections to date, giving a new owner a significant head start compared to raw land or a ground-up cabin development. The existing structures are custom-designed modern glass bungalows created specifically for this site. They are not branded prefab cabins. The design concept is positioned toward the higher-end short-term rental, boutique resort, couples retreat, wellness retreat, and experiential hospitality market. This is an as-is sale and the new owner will need to bring their own contractor, construction team, or development partner to complete the remaining scope. A completion scope and estimated budget are available for qualified buyers. The project could potentially be completed and opened far faster than a new development starting from raw land. The property may be suitable for a range of uses, including a luxury cabin rental property, boutique mountain resort, short-term rental portfolio, wellness retreat, corporate retreat property, wedding/event lodging concept, glamping-style resort, or private mountain compound, subject to buyer verification and local approvals. Located in Ellijay, Georgia, near Blue Ridge, the property sits in the heart of the North Georgia mountain market, a popular destination for cabins, vacation rentals, wineries, hiking, outdoor recreation, weekend getaways, and Atlanta-area travelers. Highlights include: Approximately 60 acres in Ellijay, GA Planned 12-unit boutique cabin resort 9 custom glass bungalow-style units partially constructed Major infrastructure and site work completed Internal road access in place Utilities and unit locations are completed, and meters are in place County approvals and inspections passed to date Modern mountain hospitality / STR investment opportunity Potential for a boutique resort, cabin rental business, retreat property, or private compound Completion scope and cost estimate available Offered as-is
