Private Mountain Retreat on 7.64 Unrestricted Acres in the North Georgia Mountains! Escape to your own private mountain sanctuary with this custom-crafted 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom log cabin nestled on 7.64 unrestricted acres with breathtaking long-range mountain views. Built with exceptional attention to detail, this one-of-a-kind home showcases locally milled White Pine harvested directly from the property, beautiful oak floors, cedar-lined closets, and a stunning stone hearth featuring a historic mantle salvaged from the famed 1886 Ormond Hotel. The inviting great room with soaring cathedral ceiling and exposed beams is centered around a cozy wood-burning stove, creating the perfect gathering space after a day of mountain adventures. Outside, expansive wraparound porches provide the ideal setting to relax, entertain, and take in the spectacular scenery. This property is thoughtfully equipped for both full-time living and recreation, featuring a 24' x 26' covered RV pad with full hookups, two storage sheds, and a second homesite situated on approximately one acre with its own driveway and separate utilities already in place—perfect for a guest cabin, family compound, or future investment opportunity. Despite its peaceful seclusion, it is conveniently located just minutes from the Appalachian Trail, thousands of acres of USFS land, and downtown Hiawassee. Access is easy via paved roads all the way to the property.
