Experience unforgettable North Georgia mountain living with panoramic, unobstructed long-range views of Lake Blue Ridge and the mountains of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This extensively renovated and expanded Blue Ridge retreat combines the character of a mountain home with the comfort, space, and amenities today’s buyers and vacation guests are looking for.
Recent improvements include an added game room, bedroom, and two bathrooms, along with a new roof, HVAC system, and 4-bedroom septic system. The home has also operated successfully for the past three years as an established, self-managed short-term rental and is being offered with a turnkey setup already in place, including furnishings, household and guest supplies, established social media presence, and existing marketing assets. It is an attractive opportunity for a buyer seeking a personal mountain retreat, an income-producing vacation property, or both.
Designed for gathering and year-round entertaining, the home comfortably accommodates 8 adults and 4 children and features two indoor gas fireplaces, one outdoor gas fireplace, and a wood-burning fire pit. Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas make it easy to enjoy cool mountain evenings and the spectacular scenery throughout the year.
Unlike many mountain properties perched on steep slopes or stilts, this home sits on a relatively flat shelf of the mountain, providing unusually usable outdoor space. The property includes a retaining-wall garden, fully fenced yard, hiking trail at the top of the mountain, and generous parking for approximately 4–6 vehicles, making it especially well suited for larger families and groups.
The location offers an ideal balance of privacy and accessibility. Downtown Blue Ridge is approximately 4.6 miles away, Lake Blue Ridge Marina is less than 6 miles from the property, and Old Toccoa Farm Golf Course is approximately 2.5 miles away.
Whether you're waking up to sweeping views of Lake Blue Ridge, hiking from the property, gathering around the outdoor fireplace or fire pit, boating on the lake, golfing at Old Toccoa Farm, or spending the evening shopping and dining in downtown Blue Ridge, this property offers an exceptional North Georgia mountain lifestyle.

What the owner loves about this home
What we love most about this home are the breathtaking, unobstructed views of Lake Blue Ridge and the surrounding mountains. You get the dramatic elevation and long-range scenery people come to Blue Ridge for, but the home itself is not perched on stilts or sitting on a steep, unusable slope. Instead, it rests on a relatively flat shelf of the mountain, creating a much more comfortable and usable setting.
The property features a retaining-wall garden, fenced yard, and outdoor spaces where you can actually relax and enjoy the mountain setting. One of our favorite features is the hiking trail at the top of the mountain, giving you the ability to step outside and enjoy the natural surroundings without ever leaving home.
There is something special about waking up to Lake Blue Ridge below you, watching the mountains change with the seasons, and still having usable outdoor space around the house. It offers the views and privacy of a true mountain retreat without feeling like you're hanging off the side of a mountain.
