Tucked inside the gated Jake's Landing Overlook community in Ellijay, GA, Lot 79 presents a rare opportunity to build a custom mountain cabin in the heart of North Georgia. This property is ideal for a short-term rental investment, vacation home, or private retreat, with strong potential for Airbnb or VRBO income. One of the unique advantages of this lot is that it is among the limited homesites in the community that allow a one-bedroom build—perfect for creating a high-demand, luxury-style cabin designed for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Combined with the natural setting, this creates an excellent opportunity for a standout short-term rental. The lot features a sloped driveway entrance that opens into a rolling mountain terrain, offering an ideal homesite surrounded by nature. A small creek flows near the back of the property, adding to the relaxing mountain atmosphere that today's buyers and renters are actively searching for. Jake's Landing Overlook is designed to encourage smaller-footprint homes and intentional living, while still offering access to desirable amenities such as swimming, camping areas, hiking trails, and a community boat ramp on Carters Lake, with additional improvements underway. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Ellijay, and a short drive to Blue Ridge and Jasper, this property combines privacy, accessibility, and investment potential. Whether you're looking to build now or hold for the future, Lot 79 is a strong opportunity in one of North Georgia's most desirable cabin markets.
