Description

Offered for sale for the very first time since it was built in 1987, this authentic mountain log home sits on 2 unrestricted acres, offering the freedom and flexibility that's increasingly difficult to find in the North Georgia mountains. Lovingly owned by the same family for nearly four decades, this property is ready to welcome its next chapter while offering a rare opportunity to make it your own. Nestled among mature hardwoods just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and McCaysville, the home is rich with timeless mountain character. Inside, you'll find warm tongue-and-groove walls, hardwood floors, and an impressive stone fireplace that create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious main level offers comfortable everyday living, while the finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility with an additional living area, a large recreation room with endless possibilities for a media room, game room, bunk room, or home office, plus a bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and wood-burning stove. Expansive wraparound decking invites you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings in every season. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, gathering with friends, or simply unwinding after a day on the lake or trails, the outdoor living spaces are designed to be enjoyed. Thoughtfully maintained over the years, the home offers important updates that provide peace of mind, including a roof that's approximately 10 years old, a replaced HVAC system with service completed in 2025, a well serviced in 2023, and a septic system pumped in April 2026. Whether you're searching for a weekend getaway, short-term rental, or full-time mountain home, this unrestricted property offers the perfect canvas to update at your own pace while preserving the warmth, craftsmanship, and authenticity that only a true mountain log home can provide.
