Situated on one of the Cartecay River's most sought-after stretches, you can launch your tube or kayak from your own private river access and float one of the area's most scenic sections; or put in upstream enjoy an approximately two-hour float ending at your property. With private stairs to the water, a riverside fishing deck, and river frontage that's nearly impossible to replicate today, this is a rare opportunity. Inside, you'll find warm rustic character with an open-concept kitchen dining area, a cozy wood-burning stove, and walls of windows in the living area showcasing spectacular river views. The main level features a primary bedroom, laundry room, and beautifully renovated full bath, while the upstairs loft offers additional sleeping space with a half bath. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a wraparound porch, an oversized screened porch overlooking the river, and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. The cabin has been recently renovated, including a new roof and HVAC system in 2025, plus additional interior updates throughout. For investors, the work has already been done. The cabin has been updated to meet Gilmer County short-term rental requirements.
